With the news that little-known Catalan studio RCR Arquitectes has won this year's Pritzker Prize, we revisit a 2010 talk given at the RA by one third of the trio, Carme Pigem.
All three studied at the School of Architecture in Vallès, and then set up their practice in their home town of Olot, Catalonia, in 1988. The studio has tackled everything from athletics track to library and winery to kindergarten. In this talk, Pigem discusses her career and the studio's thoughtful work so far.
