From the architect. In 1973 Ricardo Bofill found a disused cement factory, an industrial complex from the turn of the century consisting of over 30 silos, subterranean galleries and huge machine rooms, and he decided to transform it into the head office of Taller de Arquitectura. Remodelling work lasted two years. The factory, abandoned and partially in ruins, was a compendium of surrealist elements: stairs that climbed up to nowhere, mighty reinforced concrete structures that sustained nothing, pieces of iron hanging in the air, huge empty spaces filled nonetheless with magic.
Taking as reference a previous model made by Evermotion, the Lab Team made a reinterpretation of the iconic house and office of Ricardo Bofill in Spain. The main objetive was to translate everythig to SketchUp, models (Some re-modeled), textures (Each one made from scratch), lightining (V-Ray Sun) and framing.
