Description
La Fábrica is one of Ricardo Bofill’s most iconoclastic creations. A former cement factory on the outskirts of Barcelona, serendipitously discovered while driving, the building became the centre of the late Catalan architect’s life, serving both as his home and as the headquarters of his practice since 1973. Here, Ricardo created a world of his own, exposing the concrete forms from beneath years of dust and smoke, encouraging nature back onto the structure, and fine-tuning the balance between its monumental scale and a delicate, human sensibility, in one of the earliest examples of the reuse of an industrial building—and it’s still changing.
Featuring unseen photographs taken by Nacho Alegre on one of his many visits to La Fábrica over the last decade and an introduction by Pablo Bofill you will read interviews with Ricardo himself by Arquitectura-G and Guillermo López.

Honest interiors and stories that inspire how we live.
Apartamento is widely recognised as today’s most influential, inspiring, and honest interiors magazine. International, well-designed, well-written, and tastefully curated, it is an indispensable resource for individuals passionate about how they live.
Nacho Alegre, Omar Sosa, and Marco Velardi founded the magazine 2008 in Barcelona, Spain. It is published biannually from its headquarters.
The idea for Apartamento came from Alegre's experiences traveling across Europe as a photographer. He became interested in how people express themselves through their living spaces. Sharing a different perspective on how people live, consume and create, the beds they sleep in, the food they eat, the clothes in their closets and the music they play. A refreshingly honest and inspiring read, now accompanied by a covetable range of books that take a deeper look inside these people's homes.
