Ricardo Bofill

Ricard Bofill I Levi is a Spanish Architecte born with Barcelona the December 5th 1939. It made its studies with Geneva.

  • It is known for its post-modernistic achievements inspired by hellenistic architecture.

  • Ricard Bofill is probably one of the most discussed architects and most famous town planners and. So its work does not achieve the unanimity, especially among its pars. It founds in 1963, To tiller It of Arquitectura , in Barcelona with Manuel Nuñez Yanowsky (author of the " arenas of Picasso" with Marne-the-Valley), Ramón Collado and his/her Ann sister, like a cell of brainstorming transdisciplinaire.

  • Ricard Bofill has with its credit more than five hundred projects in about fifty different countries. Its principal influences are the architects Andrea Palladio, Mansart and Ledoux.
  • the architectural principles in which he believes are to find a Mediterranean classicism, of désacraliser a monumental order and to popularize a modernity by the historical values. Its at the same time new and traditional style, takes as a starting point the Modèles antiques and transpose them while holding account of technology of today. The majority of its projects consist of an architecture with large scales, in a search of gigantism. Its architecture is in the line of tradition. It builds by taking account of local particularisms, adapts to all the cultures and does not seek to in no case the rupture. In France, its style all in pillars, twists, pilasters, is described as “neo-classic”.
  • Since the Seventies - period for which he has worked in France - he works against “an architecture of mass”, concretized by units HLM, against a “architecture of engineers without identity” and seeks to make monuments for the people. The city is the principal reference of its experiments. All turns around it, it acts to find balance between the social one and the beauty, the forms and the thought. For him, architecture is before all art to anticipate social dynamics in the sense that the architect does not build for today but for the duration. Thus, the future populations will have to always be able to be identified at these buildings. And the architect is that which has the talent to cross the “vision”, the “High tech” and “management”. An architect must thus be general-purpose if he wants to include/understand the world and to create intelligently.
  • Today, it defends the model of the European city and defines it by three fundamental points: “The co-education of the functions; the reference on a human scale; the quality and the esthetics of public spaces. ”
