Summary:
Parmi les nombreux architectes aujourd’hui engagés dans la défense d’un habitat plus écologique et d’une nature mieux protégée, certains se tournent vers les visionnaires du siècle passé – dont les “excentricités” ont désormais valeur de modèles –, tandis que d’autres proposent, non sans provocation, d’ingénieuses combinaisons de nouvelles technologies et d’expériences avant-gardistes. C’est toute l’histoire de cette intégration progressive des questions environnementales dans l’habitat que retrace cet ouvrage, outil précieux pour les praticiens et étudiants en architecture, mais également pour tous ceux que concerne l’avenir de notre planète.

Summary:
Poetic spaces, surreal structures and dramatic visions. The extraordinary career of Ricardo Bofill is collected in this monograph, which reveals his inspiring approach to architecture, and to life. Ricardo Bofill is one of the 20th century’s most unique architects and radical visionaries. His visions for urban and communal life challenged preconceived notions of shared space and proposed alternative styles of living. This monograph explores his revolutionary approach by profiling his greatest projects like La Fábrica, Walden 7, La Muralla Roja or Abraxas. New photography by Salva López, texts by experts like Nacho Alegre and Douglas Murphy as well as by Bofill himself are complemented with sketches and floor plans. Bofill’s fantastic creations satisfy a longing for originality, personality and progressive ideals.
