Architect Ricardo Bofill’s Abandoned<br />
Cement Factory Residence and Studio<br />
In 1973 Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill stumbled upon a cement<br />
factory in Catalonia, Spain, an enormous compound of silos and<br />
buildings that covered nearly two and a half miles of underground<br />
tunnels. Bofill decided to buy The World War I era structure and its<br />
grounds, making modifications to the original structure in order to<br />
create an all-inclusive live/work space that would unite the Surrealist,<br />
Abstract, and Brutalist elements found in its industrial form.
