Ricardo Bofill

Biography

Ricardo Bofill Leví was a Spanish architect born December 5, 1939 in Barcelona and died January 14, 2022 in Barcelona. He is particularly known in France for the creation of the Abraxas spaces in Noisy-le-Grand and the Antigone district in Montpellier. His main influences are the architects Palladio, Mansart and Ledoux. Ricardo Bofill is the son of the Catalan Emilio Bofill y Benessat, architect, and a Venetian, Maria Levi. He began his studies at the French high school in Barcelona, allowing him to master this language. He continued at the Higher Technical School of Architecture in Barcelona, until his expulsion due to his activism in the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia. He is also part, with other Spanish intellectuals of the 1960s, of the divine left. His anti-Franco action led him to continue his education at the Geneva School of Architecture. He did not return to Barcelona until after Franco's death in 1975. In 1963, he surrounded himself with architects, engineers, sociologists and philosophers, the core of what is today the Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura. The group moved to Barcelona in 1975 in a former cement factory, La Fabrica, an initiative that has since become commonplace in the artistic world but an innovation at the time. This international team operates all over the world and uses modern techniques and know-how accumulated over more than forty years. The drawing of the city is a discipline extensively studied by the Taller de Arquitectura, particularly in the cities of Bordeaux, Luxembourg and Madrid, as well as Boston in the United States and Kobe in Japan. Among the main projects developed in China are the competition for the Olympic city of Qingdao, Landmark Buildings, a complex of high-rise buildings, the new residential districts "The Reflections and Sunshine Upper East Side", the Shangrila Hotel, all the three completed in 2009. The Antigone district in Montpellier, whose project initiated in 1980 continues to be enriched with new buildings, testifies to this approach: a piece of town designed and built by the workshop. Among the major infrastructures built in Spain, mention should be made of the Barcelona-El Prat international airport in 1992 as well as its extension, the new terminal T1, delivered in June 2009. In Madrid, the Palace of Congresses (es) is one of the works the most significant of the Spanish capital. In the field of cultural facilities, Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura realized the Arsenal music center in Metz, the TNC - national theater of Catalonia in Barcelona, the Shepherd music school, within the University of Rice in Houston, and the Miguel-Delibes Cultural Center in Valladolid. Among the office projects built in Paris, the Paribas Marché Saint-Honoré office building and the headquarters of the Rochas, Dior, Decaux, Axa and Cartier companies stand out. Also worth mentioning, in the category of skyscrapers, is the Donnelley Building in Chicago, followed by the very recent Dearborn Center and the representative building of the Shiseido company in Tokyo. Ricardo Bofill died on January 14, 2022 in Barcelona at the age of 82 from complications related to Covid-19.
