Artist
Ricardo Bofill is a Spanish architect and urban planner born in 1939 whose practice spans residential, institutional, and infrastructural commissions across Europe and beyond. Working primarily in concrete, steel, and masonry, he developed a distinctive approach that combines modernist volumetry with classical proportional systems and ornamental detail. His large-scale housing projects and civic buildings, often characterized by bold geometric forms and color, represent a significant postwar intervention in European urbanism.
