Thailand

Architetrix is a minimalist architecture and design photography project of the building called Muralla Roja. Muralla Roja is a building designed and built by the architect Ricardo Bofill Levi. It is located in the La Manzanera urbanization, within the municipality of Calpe, in the province of Alicante, Spain. Its construction was completed in 1973, although according to the architect own words, its design began ten years earlier. The configuration of the building is a constructive aesthetic evocation, based on a series of patios connected to each other from where the houses are accessed, and on the roof terraces the solariums are distributed on different levels.

La Muralla Roja en Calpe (Alicante) España, es un edificio del arquitecto Ricardo Bofill Levi situado en la Urbanización La Manzanera. Su construcción se completó en el año 1973 aunque, según palabras del propio arquitecto, su diseño empezó diez años antes.

La configuración del edificio, en una evocación de la estética constructivista, engendra una serie de patios comunicados entre sí desde donde se accede a las viviendas. En las terrazas de cubierta se reparten los soláriums, una piscina y sauna.

Su composición responde a un plan geométrico basado en la tipología de cruz griega que se agrupa de diversas maneras dejando las torres de servicios en la intersección de las cruces. En sí mismo es una clara referencia a la arquitectura popular mediterránea y árabe, en particular a las torres de adobe norteafricanas y a la casbah. El criterio de aplicar al edificio una variada gama cromática arranca del propósito de dar un relieve determinado a los diferentes elementos arquitectónicos con arreglo a su función estructural

Ricardo Bofill Architect Dies

Barcelona, 14 January 2022 – The architect Ricardo Bofill Levi, Spain’s most international architect, died this morning in Barcelona at the age of 82. Born in 1939 in Barcelona, Bofill leaves behind a wide and varied architectural production, as well as many ongoing projects.

From its innovative collective housing complexes of his early years, such as the well-known Walden 7 and the Red Wall, to infrastructures such as the Barcelona Airport, the corporate headquarters of Shiseido Ginza in Tokyo and that of Cartier in Paris, and current projects such as the Mohammed VI University with offices in Ben Guerir and Rabat, Ricardo Bofill has stood out for questioning the dominant thought in architecture. And from that philosophy an enormous production has come out – around a thousand architectural works in forty countries – very varied in its stylistic expression, deeply rooted to the site, with a strong component of innovation and risk.

Ricardo Bofill founded the Taller de Arquitectura in 1963 with a multidisciplinary team formed not only by architects, but also by other professionals and artists such as the literary critic Salvador Clotas, the poet José Agustín Goytisolo or the economist Julia Romea. This transversal spirit still survives today, with his two sons, Ricardo Emilio and Pablo, in charge of the office for the past few years, leading a plural team of more than one hundred professionals from thirty different nationalities who are currently developing numerous projects. This amazing team of people, along with the whole production of his architecture, is the true legacy left by Ricardo Bofill, in the words of the architect’s sons.

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.

RICARDO BOFILL.

“Nómada, sigo siendo un nómada. Un viajero sin puerto de abrigo, obligado a fijar sus puntos de referencia según su recorrido.” 

Biografía.

- Ricardo Bofill nació en 1939 en Barcelona. - En 1963 reunió a un selecto grupo de jóvenes con talento para formar un equipo pluridisciplinar que permitiera abordar la complejidad de la práctica arquitectónica: ingenieros, urbanistas, sociólogos, escritores, directores de cine y filósofos conformaron lo que se conoce hoy como el Taller de Arquitectura. - En sus primeros años, Bofill recuperó los elementos artesanales característicos de la arquitectura catalana tradicional. - Los estudios de Bofill sobre la utilización de unidades de hormigón prefabricado contribuyeron durante los años 80 a la afirmación de la validez de las formas clásicas y la geometría en la arquitectura contemporánea. - En los 90, la introducción del vidrio y del aluminio supuso el resultado de un proceso marcado por el estudio y la investigación de las formas y los materiales. - Sus obras confirman su capacidad de diseñar en armonía con las distintas culturas locales como resultado de combinar su know-how y su experiencia global.
