Ricardo Bofill’s La Fábrica is Brutalist architecture of the highest magnitude, a salvaged industrial space turned into a cathedral of the aesthetic. The space is uncompromising in its beauty, with window views evoking the imagination of Magritte, the exterior shoulder strapped with stairways ascending with Escher-like purpose.

“A brutalist vision, with a romantic vision”, embracing the luxury of solitude. There is comfort and pleasure knowing a place like this really exists.

“The two things that excite me and make me vibrate are the aesthetic feeling … beauty is what moves me, after that intelligence.”
