The Cement Factory was discovered in 1973, it was an
abandoned cement factory and partially in ruins, comprised of over 30
silos, underground galleries and huge engine rooms; Ricardo Bofill bought it and began renovation works. He identified the program; The Cement Factory
was to be used as architectural offices, archives, a model laboratory,
and exhibition space, an apartment for him, as well as guest rooms and
gardens. He defined the space by demolishing certain structures,
cleaning cement, exposing previously concealed structures and creating
the landscape architecture by planting various plants such as
eucalyptus, palms, olive trees and cypresses; renovation works lasted
nearly two years.

Como Arquitecto
la obra del señor Bofill no me convence mucho, pero en la remodelación
de esta cementera ha acertado 100%, aunque ya tenía mucho ganado con el
espacio que le brindaba la fábrica que no necesitaba ni una mano de
pintura para ser un edificio imponente.
En el video a continuación podemos ver a Ricardito Bofill enseñandonos el palacete de su papá... nunca se me borrará de la mente lo casposo que llegó a ser y patético en Crónicas Marcianas... gran momento cuando Pau lo mandó callar.
