About

In the earl y 1960s\, Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill (1939-2022) designed his first works in Barcelona. These works represented a unique synthesis of local ar chitectural tradition and the emerging challenge of various forms of urban utopia\, which was unprecedented in Spain during this period.

In hi s first residential buildings\, Ricardo Bofill skilfully introduced a code of \;realism \;that he shared with the rest of his conte mporary Catalan colleagues. However\, dissatisfied with the limitations of architecture and the political\, economic and social reality of the count ry\, he founded in 1963 the &ldquo\;Taller de Arquitectura&rdquo\; (Archit ecture Workshop\; \;RBTA). It was an unorthodox\, multidisciplinary\, international team\, comprised of architects\, engineers\, mathematicians\ , sculptors\, painters\, sociologists\, writers\, philosophers\, musicians and film-makers. RBTA&rsquo\;s analyse the problem of the contemporary ci ty and the relationship with and between its inhabitants in order to desig n a new\, alternative architecture for the city.

Following Ricardo B ofill&rsquo\;s passing in 2022\, the aim of issue 15 of HPA is to analyse the international trajectory of the Taller de Arquitectura from 1970 to th e present day. This will be achieved through a critical\, up-to-date appro ach. The architectural output of Ricardo Bofill is the subject of a case s tudy that aims to contribute to academic and public debate. Bofill&rsquo\; s work is cross-cutting\, bold\, and polemic\, making him a controversial yet indispensable figure in the recent history of international architectu re.

We would also remind here the potential areas of research indicated by the editors that can be explored without limitat ions:

  1.  \;RBTA beyond Spain: relat ions between Spanish and international works.
  2. The reception of the work of RBTA in international mass media.
  3. The "French Years" of RBTA: between urban planning\, political management and relations with power.
  4. The international networks of m embers of the Taller's professional team.
