Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura (RBTA)

More than 50 years after its founding, the Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura (RBTA) studio remains at the forefront of the urban planning and architectural professions. RBTA was founded in 1963 and is headed by Ricardo Bofill, Ricardo Bofill Jr. and Pablo Bofill. Now the company applies its visionary humanism and cultural intelligence in environments around the world. Headquartered in the former La Fabrica cement factory on the outskirts of Barcelona, RBTA is made up of a diverse, driven and cohesive team of talent. Employees from more than 20 countries specialize in a variety of disciplines, from architects and urban planners to graphic and industrial designers.

The studio specializes in urban development, transportation infrastructure, commercial enterprises and public housing. The firm demonstrates a comprehensive ability to approach a massive urban plan and a modest domestic project with equal commitment and contextual sophistication. Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura's buildings and master plans, whether completed in the early 1960s or just last year, retain a timeless quality achieved through a prophetic blend of human need, cultural complexity and bold form. One of the studio's other areas of expertise is industrial design for Vilagrasa.
