The RCR architecture studio, founded in 1988 by Rafael Aranda, Carme Pigem, and Ramon Vilalta, is currently commemorating 40 years of impactful architectural design with an exhibition titled 'RCR arquitectes. Raíces y alas' at the Garrotxa Museum in Olot, Girona. The exhibition features large-scale images of various projects that highlight the studio's unique approach to architecture, which emphasizes fitting their designs into the local terrain and culture. This celebration not only showcases their achievements but also reflects on the studio's dedication to maintaining a dialogue with the environment.

The event has attracted attention amid a backdrop of heavy rain, symbolizing the persistent connection to the earth that the architects emphasize in their work. They recall their foundational education at the Vallés School of Architecture, which instilled in them a commitment to understanding how to harmonize architecture with the regional landscape. The exhibition runs until August 9, offering visitors a comprehensive look into four decades of collaboration and innovation within the field of architecture.

RCR's notable recognition includes winning the prestigious Pritzker Prize in 2017, making them one of the few Spanish architects to achieve this honor alongside Rafael Moneo. This exhibition not only marks a milestone for RCR but also serves as an inspiration for future architects to build a relationship with their surroundings. By celebrating their roots and showcasing their growth, the studio continues to push the boundaries of architectural design while remaining true to their local context.
