This year’s winners of the Pritzker Architecture Prize are the three partners in a far- from-famous Spanish firm:RCR Arquitectes – Rafael Aranda, Carme Pigem and Ramon Vilalta. They don’t practice in or near any of Spain’s major cities, but in the modest Catalan town of Olot, population about 34,000. And while they do respect the contexts of the projects they design, what they insert is crisply modern, tending to minimalism – no concessions to historic design precedents. FULL STORY ON PAGE 3… Is Your Workplace an Experience? Knoll Channels the Sharing and Experience Economies as Inspiration for the Future The Experience Economy and the Sharing Economy are reshaping the way we live our lives and spend both our money and our time; we’ve shifted from placing priority on ownership and material things to placing priority on experiences. Furniture manufacturers and designers are figuring out how to blend these influences into the workplace.Knoll is focusing its efforts in workplace strategy around what it calls “immersive planning.” In a nutshell, the concept of immersive planning builds upon the view of the workplace as an experience, rather than the view of the office as a building.

The only previous winner from Spain, Rafael Moneo (1996), had designed projects in several countries, including the U.S. But some earlier honorees had worked only in their home country and were hardly any better known than the RCR trio. The second Pritzker winner, Luis Barragan (1980), while widely admired, had built nothing outside Mexico; Wang Shu (2012) had worked only in China, with virtu- ally no prior international recognition; and Glenn Murcutt (2002) – who happens to have chaired this year’s jury – had done buildings of modest scale only in Australia. In recent years the recognition for women has been a steadily mounting concern, as their participation in architecture inches forward. Pritzker juries faced objections for recogniz- ing Robert Venturi in 1991 without including his wife-partner Denise Scott Brown, and similarly for not recognizing Wang Shu’s wife-partner Lu Wenyu in 2012.

Is this continent already in the line 17 of vision? Many European architects are currently building significant complexes: 2/20 the ARPT by Mario Cucinella, the new hospital in Tangiers by Architecture Studio or the future urban development in Oran by Massimiliano Fuksas, among other projects. But the African architectural approach also reveals real dynamics. This is the idea which seem to express the international exhibitions on African architecture during these last years, on the cultural side and architectural and archi-news archi-news city-panning approach, as well as in relation to the experimental means proposed by numerous sub-Saharan countries after their independence in the sixties, as a way to show their national identity. Not the least of contradictions, this architecture was often imported from foreign countries, sometimes from former colonial powers. The demographic explosion and the galloping city planning have contributed to this situation. The recent exhibition « African Capitals » in La Villette (Paris) proposes a new view on the constantly changing African city, whilst rethinking the evolution of the African city and more largely the modern city. As the contemporary African art is rich and varied – the Paris Louis Vuitton Foundation is presently organizing three remarkable exhibitions – the African architecture can’t be reduced to a single generalized label, because of the originality of the different nations and their socio-historical background. The challenges imply to take account and to control many parameters in relation with the urbanistic pressure and the population.

La Biennale di Venezia. The Institut Ramon Llull presents as Collateral Event RCR. Dream and Nature_Catalonia in Venice, a project about the architecture firm, RCR Arquitectes - recipients of the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2017 - for the 16th International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia, that will run from May 26th to November 25th, 2018. The project, which will represent Catalonia in the Biennale Architettura 2018 as Collateral Event and which is curated by journalist Pati Nunez and architect Estel Ortega along with RCR Arquitectes, reveals an unknown side of Rafael Aranda, Carme Pigem and Ramon Vilalta: their most intimate universe. These three architects have created a space to research and rethink man’s relationship to the world, located in the La Vila estate in the Bianya Valley (Girona), and it’s in this landscape that their project for 16th International Architecture Exhibition is based. In the words of RCR Arquitectes: “In Venice we will present our dream, unknown and unpublished up until now. It’s a key moment in the development of this project, and it’s through architecture that the birth of a utopia under construction that unveils our interior world is being represented.” The intention is that “those who visit the space at the Biennale will feel an immense draw to get to know La Vila and to perceive the force of nature, a force that can change you.

It emphasizes and values the public role of architecture and distinguishes it as the foundation for welfare and social cohesion. From this overall objective, the Prize also pursues the following aims: 1. to highlight, recognise and commend excellence in European architecture in creative, conceptual, social, cultural, technical and constructive terms, in works which are less than two years old and to involve clients and other stakeholders. 2. to underline the European city as a model for the sustainable smart city, contributing to a sustainable European economy. Contemporary architecture is socially and culturally rooted in cities and is essential to people’s everyday lives. 3. to build and help raise awareness on the benefits architecture can generate for growth, jobs, environment and social cohesion. 4. to support emerging architects and young talents, as they start out on their careers, and to increase the incorporation of architects from the EU Member States and those countries that conclude an Agreement with the European Commission to the profession.

This yields 170 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) that contain 509 BDSA. Drawing on U.S. Census data from 2010 – 2019, 13 economic data points are collected for each MSA in the sample, yielding 2,210 initial data points. The same 13 data points are collected for each of the 37 states where at least one BDSA currently resides, yielding an additional 481 unique data points Finally, the same 13 data points are collected for the U.S. economy as a whole. This data is sorted using basic weighted-average calculations to measure the relationship between the number of BDSA and the regional economic performance of the group of MSAs containing those BDSA, weighted by the number of BDSA in each city. The BDSA-weighted average of these economic statistics is then compared to the state and national averages for the same economic indicators. The results of this study show that the 170 regions under analysis have BDSA-weighted economic indicators that, when viewed together, demonstrate significantly more robust regional economic environments than the population-weighted average statistics for the 37 state economies in which they reside and the national average for the U.S.

The three architects, originating from Olot, in the Catalonian region of Spain, have worked together collaboratively since founding their firm RCR Arquitectes, in their hometown in 1988 . Their work demonstrates an unyielding commitment to place and its narrative, to create spaces that are in discourse with their respective contexts .

    Different horizons Different horizons The Muraba Residences, Palm Jumeirah Muraba Residences Palm Jumeirah / RCR Arquitectes Designed by the 2017 Pritzker Prize Laureates RCR Arquitectes www.muraba.ae Muraba A traditional Emirati word for a building with towers and walls which connect to form a secure home space. Often a landmark, the Muraba becomes a significant part of the identity of its surrounding community. A unique point of view Welcome to the Muraba Residences, an architectural gem set on the Eastern Crescent of Palm Jumeirah. It is an exclusive collection of just 46 apartments and 4 penthouses, every one of which is oriented to make the most of the uninterrupted views across the water, right along the skyline of the whole of Dubai. Every Muraba Residence is perfectly aligned East to West, each apartment having private balconies to watch both the beginning and end of the day. In the morning, you will see the sun rise over the city skyline, directly ahead of you. Sunset will be yours to own from your Western aspect. To the East lie two towering landmarks, the Burj Al Arab and the Burj Khalifa, auspiciously aligned for the perfect view. To the West is the Palm Atlantis at the top of the Crescent. For those with different horizons. To look out across a horizon is always inspiring. To watch the sun rise over the city – your city – can energize your thoughts and crystallize your intuition. We have only five senses through which we interact with the world; the doors of perception, so they say. But what about the other senses? A sense of adventure, a sense of achievement, of well-being, of balance, of pride in one’s work? These are the things we build our world around.
