Ricardo Bofill

Ricardo Bofill (born in Barcelona, December 5, 1939) is a Spanish Catalan postmodernist architect.

He studied at the School of Architecture in Geneva, Switzerland. In 1963 he founded a group formed by architects, engineers, sociologists and philosophers, creating the basis for what today is the ‘Taller de Arquitectura’, international team with over 40 years experience in urban design, architecture, parks and gardens designs, and interior design.
