RCR Arquitectes is a Spanish architectural practice situated in the Spanish town of Olot. Rafael Aranda, Carme Pigem, and Ramon Vilalta created it in 1988. The studio is noted for its simple and modern designs, which are frequently influenced by the surroundings. RCR Arquitectes has received multiple honors for their work, including the renowned Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2017. The Soulages Museum in Rodez, France, the Les Cols Restaurant and Events Pavilion in Girona, Spain, and the Bell-Lloc Winery in Palamós, Spain are among their major projects.
RCR Arquitectes is noted for its minimalist and modern designs that are strongly anchored in the environment. Their approach is centered on producing architecture that matches and enhances the natural beauty of the setting while simultaneously being practical and meets the client’s demands. Their buildings are designed to blend in with the landscape than than stand out as dominant constructions, and many of their designs demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The objective is to design architecture that blends in with its surroundings and has a good influence on the community.
The firm has a comprehensive and meaningful vision that extends beyond merely finishing a construction project. They want to design architecture that is in tune with its environment and improves the quality of life for people who live in it. This is apparent in their use of natural materials, creation of peaceful and calm settings, and incorporation of sustainable design ideas into their work. RCR Arquitectes is developing not simply practical structures, but also settings that promote well-being and allow people to interact with nature. Their work exemplifies the concept that architecture can help shape our perception of the world and improve our quality of life.
The Architects RCR design style RCR visionRCR Arquitectes’ work is firmly rooted in the Catalan architectural tradition, which is distinguished by its emphasis on creating public spaces that serve as civic hubs, its use of climate control devices like porches and blinds, and its emphasis on designing spaces that blur the lines between the interior and exterior. RCR Arquitectes received the Pritzker Prize in appreciation of their contributions to the field of architecture and their capacity to modernize Catalan architectural traditions. Through their work, they continue to highlight the principles that underpin this architectural movement while also incorporating fresh concepts and cutting-edge technology to produce structures that are both aesthetically pleasing and useful.
The architectural style of RCR Arquitectes is renowned for incorporating a location’s history and existing structures into its projects. An excellent illustration of this strategy is how their studio, the Laboratorio Barber, was transformed from an ancient foundry. They are able to create a place that is rich in history and memory while still being functional and tailored to the demands of the studio by maintaining and modifying the existing building features, such as the steel sheets and bars, the empty spaces left by the ovens, and even the soot on the walls. The finished space serves as evidence of their strategy of developing architecture that is both flexible and responsive to its surroundings and the past.
RCR Arquitectes has a substantial global presence and has been requested to collaborate on projects in several nations. Despite having a global following, the firm is steadfast in their commitment to producing architecture that is tied to the region and unique to the location in which it is located. So, whether they are working in their own Catalonia or in another nation like Belgium, France, or Dubai, they are able to produce structures that are both distinctive and reflective of their environment. This strategy enables them to share their distinctive architectural vision with a larger audience while also enhancing the ethnic variety and depth of the workplaces.
Muraba Residence is an opulent residential complex in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It was created by RCR Arquitectes (RCR Architects), a Pritzker Prize-winning Spanish architectural group famed for its distinctive and inventive design. The structure has a modern minimalist design with clean lines and an emphasis on natural light. The building is noted for its distinctive geometric designs and use of high-quality materials, and it is regarded as one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. It is also RCR’s first ever residential project.
The Muraba home is located on the plam island in the emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is exactly where the walkway terminates on the island’s exterior edge. The Palm Jumeirah is a world-renowned resort and one of Dubai’s most desirable locales. It provides people with a variety of premium shopping, eating, and entertainment opportunities, as well as world-class beaches and parks.
To limit views into the houses, a system of louvred glass slats sculpted with a rippling pattern is included into the building’s façade. The cast glass louvers have a water wave texture and a thorough relationship to the steel beams and construction. RCR investigated a method to orient the view of all the flats towards the Ocean, and developed a system of glass slits that funnel light into the rooms all day while safeguarding individual privacy.

PAVILION DESIGN
The Sampo Gumi Shikuchi exhibition designed by the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. The exhibition was held at the Aomori Museum of Art in Japan in 2019 and focused on the history and legacy of the Sampo Gumi Shikuchi joint venture.
The name «Sampo Gumi» translates to «Three Treasure Group» in English, referring to the three companies that came together to form the joint venture. «Shikuchi» means «precision» in Japanese, indicating the focus of the joint venture on producing high-precision semiconductors.
Kengo Kuma designed the exhibition space to reflect the precision and innovation of the Sampo Gumi Shikuchi’s semiconductor production. The exhibit featured a variety of displays, including vintage electronics products that used Sampo Gumi Shikuchi’s semiconductors, as well as interactive installations that allowed visitors to explore the history and technology of the joint venture.
Sampo Gumi Shikuchi translates to the three-sided joint is a type of traditional Japanese woodworking joint that has been used in the construction of wooden buildings, furniture, and other objects for centuries. As its name suggests, the joint consists of three pieces of wood that are joined together at a 90-degree angle.
To create a three-sided joint, one piece of wood is cut with a slot or groove that runs along its length, while two other pieces of wood are cut with matching tongues or tenons that fit snugly into the slot. When the three pieces are fitted together, the joint forms a strong and stable connection that is able to support weight and resist lateral forces.
The three-sided joint is valued for its simplicity and strength, and is often used in the construction of traditional Japanese architecture, such as tea houses and temples. The joint’s design allows for a high degree of precision and accuracy, making it ideal for use in the intricate and delicate work that is characteristic of Japanese woodworking.
In addition to its practical applications, the three-sided joint is also valued for its aesthetic qualities. The joint’s clean lines and precise angles create a visually striking pattern that is often used as a decorative element in furniture, doors, and other wooden objects.
