里卡多·博菲尔建筑工作室总部
1973年,里卡多·博菲尔发现了一座废弃的水泥厂,这是一座世纪之交的工业综合体,包含超过30个筒仓、地下通道和巨大的机器房,他决定将其改造成建筑工作室的总部。改造工作持续了两年。这座工厂被遗弃,部分处于废墟状态,是超现实主义元素的汇聚:通往无处的楼梯、支撑着什么都没有的强大钢筋混凝土结构、悬空的铁块,以及尽管巨大空旷却充满魔力的空间。改造过程始于拆除部分旧结构,以使之前隐藏的形态显现出来,仿佛混凝土被雕刻过一样。一旦空间被定义、清理掉水泥并被新绿植环绕,适应新程序的过程便开始了。八个筒仓被保留下来,改造成办公室、模型实验室、档案室、图书馆、放映室和一个被称为“教堂”的巨大空间,在这里举办展览、音乐会以及与建筑师专业活动相关的各种文化功能。整个综合体坐落在有桉树、棕榈树、橄榄树和柏树的花园中。这个项目证明了一个富有想象力的建筑师可以将任何空间适应为新的功能,无论其与原始功能有多么不同。
Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura Headquarters
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. The transformation process began with the demolition of part of the old structure to leave hitherto concealed forms visible, as if the concrete had been sculpted. Once the spaces had been defined, cleaned of cement and encompassed by new greenery, the process began of adaptation to the new programme. Eight silos remained, which became offices, a models laboratory, archives, a library, a projections room and a gigantic space known as "The Cathedral", in which exhibitions, concerts and a whole range of cultural functions linked to the professional activities of the architect. The complex stands in the midst of gardens with eucalyptus, palms, olive trees and cypresses. This project is evidence of the fact that an imaginative architect may adapt any space to a new function, no matter how different it may be from the original one.
