Abstrak

From the mid-sixties onwards, Ricardo Bofill's work began to be published in various foreign architectural magazines. From that moment on, his presence would be constant and would increase as the years went by. Aware of the active role of the media in the architect's work, Bofill made conscious use of them. It could be said that he was the first media architect as we know them today, a celebrity precursor of the star system of the nineties and early twentieth century. Within this framework, the article explores Bofill's critical fortune on the international scene. To this end, the study analyses the scope of his work in foreign periodicals, setting out the keys to explaining the interest his architecture aroused in the foreign context. It focuses on the period between the 1970s and the mid-1980s, when he carried out his most mediatic projects in France. These works, with a monumentalist character, have traditionally been framed within the postmodernist trend.
