El Taller

El Taller de Arquitectura is a group of architects working out of La Fábrica, its members arriving from all over the world. The group's projects vary widely, each shaped by the specific conditions of its setting rather than by a single method or style. What connects the work is a focus on craft and regular collaboration with other disciplines. This comes through in the details and in the spirit with which new ideas are taken up.

The name Taller (pronounced ta-yer) translates to “workshop” and holds a dual meaning. The first is the workshop as a place of making. This is evident in the very spaces of La Fábrica, where models and project materials are crafted; in the group’s sustained collaboration with local builders, artisans, and vernacular traditions; and in the integration of these practices into buildings made for contemporary use.

The second meaning is the workshop as a forum for focused inquiry. This process varies with each project: depending on the specific social and historical context, a team is assembled from within the wider cohort to address the questions at hand. The team comprises countless different nationalities and backgrounds, bringing a wide range of perspectives in its own right, while collaborators from the arts, sciences, and other fields are regularly invited to contribute.

An engagement with the wider discourse around architecture has expanded the Taller’s activities into adjacent cultural spheres. These include fashion design, graphic communication, editions of objects and furniture, and the production of publications and exhibitions, many of which draw on the archive the group has built over more than sixty years.

It was in 1963 that Ricardo Bofill established the Taller de Arquitectura, uniting engineers, sociologists, economists, mathematicians, philosophers, filmmakers, writers, and others who saw architecture as a means to affect society. Studying the ideas and conditions of previous generations was (and remains) essential to that aim. This dialectic, looking backwards while moving forwards, applies as much to the group’s own history as to its outlook today.

CEO

Pablo Bofill

Pablo’s approach at the Taller de Arquitectura balances a respect for its history with an openness to new ideas. As the group has expanded in recent years, it has also returned to a structure more in line with its original emphasis on interdisciplinary and collaborative design. In building the team, Pablo values personal insight alongside professional experience, encouraging diverse contributions across projects. His ongoing focus on craftsmanship helps ensure that quality remains integral to the work.

Her work involves drawing, model-making, graphic design, and printed publications, finding the most effective way to communicate architectural concepts via these various mediums. Carmen collaborates with project teams, the in-house workshops, and collaborating artists and designers through an open process of research, testing, iteration and experimentation. She studied architecture at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid and spent a year on exchange at the University of São Paulo.

Archive

Alexandra Garzón

Ale joined the Taller in 2023 to organise, restore, catalogue, and share the archive held at La Fábrica, managing documentation for both internal reference and external presentation to students, visiting architects, institutions, and the wider public. She studied Art History at the University of Barcelona, specialising in contemporary art and film studies, and later completed a master’s in Archiving and Documentation at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. Her training allows her to appreciate the archive’s objects both as products of their historical and artistic context and as resources that support the Taller’s work today.
