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
