Ricardo Bofill Leví “Seduced by the contradictions and the ambiguity of the place, we quickly decided to retain the factory, and modifying its original brutality, sculpt it like a work of art. Presently I live and work here better than anywhere else. It is for me the only place where I can concentrate and associate ideas in the most abstract manner.” - Ricardo Bofill Leví on ‘La Fabrica’. Let’s talk about Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill Leví (born 5 December 1939). Bofill Leví uses the Spanish naming customs: Bofill is the paternal family name, Leví the maternal family name. Since 1963, Bofill Leví has continued to lead international architectural and urban design practice 'Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura'. Bofill Leví was raised in a Catalan bourgeois family. His father, Emilio Bofill, was a builder and developer, Bando Republican and liberal and a progressive who was vehemently against Francisco Franco’s regime. Ricardo’s mother, Maria Levi, was an Italian Jew and the matriarchal pillar of the family. Bofill Leví studied at the 'Barcelona University School of Architecture' and graduated from the ‘Université de Beaux-Arts Genève’ after been expelled from University and Spain during a demonstration where he was arrested. At the age of 17, Ricardo Bofill designed his first project, a summer home in Ibiza and by 23 became lead architect of ‘el Taller’. Over fifty years later, Bofill still leads ‘Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura’, with over 1000 projects to date in over 50 countries. Did we mention that his work is absolutely breathtaking with a striking use of colour, clean lines and an almost ethereal beauty? See for yourselves.
