RCR
The Universe of Shared Creativity

RCR is an integrative project whose origins lie in architecture, yet it is not confined to this discipline. It also embraces landscape, design, art, and thought, becoming a transversal laboratory of ideas and a cultural space.

The strength of RCR’s architecture lies in its ability to transcend its roots through a universal language born from a deep search for the essential. This essence emerges for its founders — Rafael Aranda, Carme Pigem, and Ramon Vilalta — from the exploration of emptiness, from the dialogue between place and architecture. At the same time, it arises from a shared creative process, much like jazz, where the “I” becomes “we.”

This architecture, born from shared creativity, refers to relational values and processes in every sense. It expands beyond the boundaries of the discipline with a holistic vision that embraces something greater than architecture itself: life. Within it, RCR demonstrates that dreams are possible.

This vision was recognized with the 2017 Pritzker Prize, considered the Nobel Prize of Architecture.
