里卡多 波菲尔(Ricardo Bofill) 凭借其对城市建筑的革命性愿景改变了20世纪。 从科幻乌托邦社会住房项目到后现代古典主义，再到高科技玻璃和钢铁的现代主义，这位建筑师的大胆愿景一直都雄心勃勃。波菲尔的工作室Taller de Arquitectura五十多年来一直是创造性反叛的繁荣中心。今天，波菲尔的的建筑作品如Walden 7、Kafka s Castle和La Muralla Roja成了不朽的流行文化，人们对他关于共享空间和其他生活方式的激进思想产生了新的兴趣。 《里卡多 波菲尔：建筑愿景》描述了一种以理想主义和对抗为特征的遗产。作为迄今为止关于波菲尔*全面的书籍，它介绍了他的标志性建筑，并收集了新拍摄的绝美照片和这个男人自己的评论，以便让人们重新认识他的生活和工作。这本专著证明，在21世纪，这位建筑师的愿景比以往任何时候都有预见性。 I want to make something impossible
