Shunning the spotlight by choice, from their outlying studio of Olot, the laureates of this year's Pritzker Prize have worked together for thirty years developing an architecture that is radical in its language yet anchored to its context and committed to nature. On the occasion of the concession of this prestigious award – which until now only one Spaniard had received, Rafael Moneo in 1996 –, Arquitectura Viva presents 'RCR arquitectes. 1988-2017', a 240-page volume in cloth hardcover and fully bilingual Spanish-English edition. The book includes 40 of the studio's most important works, including suggestive and personal ones like Pedra Tosca Park, Horizonte House, Les Cols Restaurant and the Bell-lloc Winery, all in Catalonia – and most of them in the region of La Garrotxa –, and also completions outside Spain, like the Soulages Museum and La Cuisine Centre in France, or the Hofheide Crematorium and Walse Krook Media Library in Belgium. Essays by Luis Fernández-Galiano, Richard Ingersoll, Carlos Jiménez, William Curtis and Josep Maria Montaner help to interpret, from five different perspectives, the essential and provocative architecture that has earned Rafael Aranda, Carme Pigem and Ramon Vilalta the most prominent architectural distinction.
