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. Spectacular 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"examines the grand career of the Spanish architect -- AD<br><br>"highlights in technicolour the Spanish architect's greatest hits -- WALLPAPER<br><br>A substantial 300-page monograph in large-format retraces Ricardo Bofill's 80th birthday in the year of his career." -- DOMUS<br><br>"gestalten's new ode to the architect" -- ANOTHER MAG<br><br>"lists the key buildings of his long career of more than 50 years" -- NUMÉRO ("recense les bâtiments clés de sa carrière foisonnante longue de plus de 50 ans")<br><br>"recounting Ricardo Bofill's career following his changes and developments" -- ELLE DECOR ITALY (translated from Italian: "racconta la sua carriera seguendo cambiamenti e sviluppi che ne hanno il percorso")<br><br>"the monograph also comprises of written excertps by bofill himself, which are complemented with design sketches and floor plans which give a greater insight into the architect's work." -- DESIGNBOOM<br><br>"The monograph features beautifully photographed highlights from his long career, complemented by sketches, floor plans and texts from experts" -- British Airways HIGH LIFE<br><br>"(Re)découvrez les projets phare de l'architecte Ricardo Bofill" -- ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST FRANCE<br><br>"A monograph that every architecture lover should have in his bookshelf." -- CONDÉ NAST TRAVELER<br><br>"Presenting these alternative forms of living, gestalten's book combines visually striking photography with an insight into the Bofill's original sketches and floor plans.
