The bold colours that adorn the exterior and interior facades are selected to contrast with nature or complement its purity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The building resembles a colourful fortress emerging from the rocky cliff on which it stands and features a series of intertwined staircases, platforms and bridges that provide access to the 50 flats that make up La Muralla Roja. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CICE: Proyecto Infoarquitectura  Muralla Roja - Humberto Ravazzi\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SXGTMjZ1jio?start=6&feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The complexity of the project extends to the flat division, which has three sizes: 60 m2 studios, 80 m2 two-bedroom flats and 120 m2 three-bedroom flats. Bofill's desire to provide enhanced living is seen through the roof terraces, solarium, a swimming pool and a sauna, all reserved for the use of residents. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exterior surfaces are painted in various shades of red, to accentuate the contrast with the landscape; patios and stairways, on the other hand, are treated with shades of blue, such as light blue, indigo, violet, to produce a stronger or weaker contrast with the sky or, on the contrary, an optical effect of blending with it. The intensity of colours is also related to light and shows how the combination of these elements can help to create a greater illusion of space. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Red Wall is best described as a labyrinth, which corresponds to a precise <strong>geometric plan based on the typology of the Greek cross<\/strong>, which has, in this case, five-metre-long arms. The crosses intersect in the service towers, which contain kitchens and bathrooms. The project was completed in 1973.  <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_1 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_1 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_code_0 et_pb_code et_pb_text_align_center et_pb_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_code_inner\"><div class=\"author-box\" style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 20px; margin-top: 40px; border-radius: 12px; max-width: 600px; text-align: center; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\">\n  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vellomonfortarquitectes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/joseantonio.jpg\" alt=\"Jos\u00e9 Antonio Vell\u00f3, chartered architect in Gand\u00eda\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" style=\"border-radius: 50%; object-fit: cover; margin-bottom: 15px;\">\n  <h3 style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\">About the author: Jos\u00e9 Antonio Vell\u00f3<\/h3>\n  <p style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\">\n Architect registered with the <strong>COACV <\/strong>and co-founder of <strong>Vell\u00f3 Monfort Arquitectes<\/strong>.
