- Authors
Lopes Dias, Tiago
- Abstract
The article analyzes the Walden 7 collective housing building, designed by Ricardo Bofill and his team of architects, artists, engineers, mathematicians, writers, and poets. It highlights that it reflects an unconventional lifestyle practiced by an elite group in Barcelona at that time. It explores the influence of the book Walden Two on the building's design and highlights the spatial strategies aimed at an individualistic, festive, and hedonistic use of the housing units. It also discusses the influence of Beat culture and critical movements in the cultural revolution of the 1960s. It mentions the importance of books as a means of disseminating emancipatory and progressive ideas. It discusses the influence of the "gauche divine" group on architecture and culture in Spain during the Franco dictatorship. It talks about the reforms carried out by architect Correa and his partner Alfonso Milà in apartments in Barcelona, which represented a break with the Catalan architectural production of the time. It describes the housing typologies in the Walden 7 project, which challenge the traditional family structure and prioritize the individual over the family group. It discusses the relationship between architecture and theater/cinema in Ricardo Bofill's works. It provides information about Walden 7, a building in Sant Just Desvern, Spain, that has withstood the test of time and houses a diverse community. The author of the research is affiliated with the University of Porto and his work is funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology of Portugal.
