Ricardo Bofill is a world-famous postmodernist Spanish architect best known for introducing Modern Architectural Techniques and Profession Design inspired by classic touches of architecture from the splendor and artistic waste of the era of Louis XIV

The work of Ricardo Bofilli is strongly influenced by his heritage, especially the Arab-Mediterranean roots of Catalonia. His buildings, with their solid and massed volumes, often resemble the traditional kasbah - a high-walled, usually windowless fortress.

In the mid-1970s, Bofill abandoned Mediterranean folk architecture, he wanted to return to traditional urban planning elements and his interest in baroque spatial organization also began to grow
