Ricardo bofill

Industrial architecture created some of the most powerful images in many cities, and even though many factories were demolished due to progress, cases such as the factory located in Sant Just Desvern, transformed by Ricardo Bofill into an architecture studio, show the right way modern architecture should follow.

A new monograph by gestalten shines a light on the visionary works of Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill, whose bold forms often seem lifted from fantasy.

His structures were so bold, they were the backdrops for TV shows and films, including “Westworld” and a “Hunger Games” movie. But they were also socially aware.

Within the context of La Manzanera, La Muralla Roja (The Red Wall) asks to be considered as a case apart. It embodies an apparent reference to the popular architecture of the Arab Mediterranean.
