“For this reason, Bet and Ramon believe that architects must learn how to maintain the difficult balance that we have established over the centuries between what we call nature and what we call culture. Or to put it another way, and to use the terms coined long ago by Friedrich Schiller, architects should strive to be ‘naïve’ as well as ‘sentimental’. […] Naïve and sentimental: these are two good words to describe Bosch Capdeferro’s exquisite architecture”.

— Eduardo Prieto

bosch.capdeferro arquitectura

Ramon Bosch and Bet Capdeferro are architects who graduated from the Barcelona School of Architecture (ETSAB), Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC BarcelonaTech), in 2000 and 1999, respectively. Bet Capdeferro also completed a Master’s degree in Landscape Architecture at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia Foundation.

In 2003, they founded the practice bosch.capdeferro arquitectura in the city of Girona, where they work on the transformation of spaces of different scales and natures, focusing on the relationship between human beings and their environment. Their professional practice has always been complemented by teaching experience at institutions including ETSAB-UPC BarcelonaTech, ETH Zurich, the University of Girona (EPS), Cornell University in New York, and Washington University in St. Louis. Through theory and research, their academic work supports the development of both the design and construction processes.

They conceive of the project as a concave and inclusive experience, capable of harmoniously integrating, through an open process, the various circumstances and agents that shape it.
