In Residence: Ricardo Bofill
Snackwave, re-inventing the phone call, JR on Ellis Island and more in our weekly look at the web
Iconic architect Ricardo Bofill tells the story of his monumental home in a Nowness video that’s strangely haunting and entirely fascinating. The house is a huge, converted former cement factory located outside Barcelona—a place Bofill says he wanted to transform from a polluting machine into a green space full of a team of thinkers. He says, “The beauty of this labyrinth is that people don’t find each other and everyone can live as they want to.” It’s a minimalist, but entirely overwhelming space—even when only viewed on film.
