Tour Information
In and around the Catalan town of Olot, Rafael Aranda, Carme Pigem and Ramon Vilalta have created an architectural oeuvre which bears its own unmistakable hallmark.
Rooted in the local context, their projects are the result of an intensive dialogue between architecture and landscape and characterized by the spatial continuity between interior and exterior.
We invite you to delve into the creative universe of RCR and experience the spirit of place of some of their most notable projects, rooted in the unique volcanic setting of La Garrotxa
With a clear preference for weathering steel, the architects have developed a distinctive style and highly recognisable architectural language that masterfully blends materiality and craftsmanship.
Highly poetic and sculptural, of unusual expressive power and evocative atmosphere, the buildings of the Pritzker Prize winners 2017 defy the sense of disorientation and placelessness caused by globalization.
