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最全面的书籍，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.

Ricardo Bofill changed the 20th century with his revolutionary visions for urban architecture. From sci-fi utopian social housing projects to postmodern classicism and onward to high-tech glass and steel modernism, the architect’s bold vision has been nothing if not ambitious. Taller de Arquitectura, Bofill’s workshop, has been a thriving center of creative rebellion for over five decades. Today, Bofill’s buildings like Walden 7, Kafka’s Castle and La Muralla Roja are immortalized in popular culture and there is a renewed interest in his radical ideas around shared space and alternative styles of living.

Ricardo Bofill: Visions of Architecture traces a legacy that is characterized by idealism and defiance. The most comprehensive book on Bofill to date, it presents his iconic buildings and gathers spectacular new photography together with commentary from the man himself to give new insight into his life and work. This monograph stands as a testament that in the 21st century, the architect’s vision is more prescient than ever.
