Diez horas con RCR Arquitectes

Ramon Vilalta, Carme Pigem and Rafael Aranda put their initials on the project to which they have dedicated their lives, RCR Arquitectes. The three of them had gone to the same school in their hometown, Olot, but they did not meet until they began studying at the Vallès School of Architecture. After graduating at the end of the eighties they return to Olot to establish their studio. And from this small town in Girona they have managed to create spaces that are "local and universal at the same time", according to the jury that awarded them the Pritzker Prize in 2017. A recognition that Rafael Moneo had only achieved in Spain before that they. "If by doing things as we have done so far, we have come this far, perhaps we should continue in the same way", they confess in this conversation with the journalist and architecture critic Llàtzer Moix. In it, chemistry emerges that emanates from a three-way relationship that "comes from diversity." This volume is part of the Archive of Creators, a series that collects the testimony of the great names of Spanish culture in the first person. A project designed to preserve and transmit the legacy of the most valuable people of our time.
