TOTO GALLERY·MA is pleased to present the exhibition RCR Arquitectes: Geography of Dreams by RCR Arquitectes, who have continued to engage in activities that are sensitive to history, culture, and nature from their base of operations in Olot in Catalonia, Spain.

RCR was founded in 1988 by Rafael Aranda, Carme Pigem, and Ramon Vilalta, who always work together through a three-way dialogue in creating their architecture that is not only richly poetic but also firmly grounded in the Catalan context. In recognition of their work, they became the first-ever trio to be awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2017.

In addition to laying out the architects' work from the past, this exhibition features an ongoing project RCR has been developing on the theme of "dreams" in Garrotxa, Catalonia. Through this project, called La Vila, RCR is venturing to create a laboratory for the study of perception by bringing people together to collectively learn and experience nature as a space on a vast site home to a research facility, workshop, accommodations, and pavilions. One structure on the site, the Paper Pavilion, was built in collaboration with residents of Yoshino, Nara, and made using Yoshino wood. The unique design that expresses RCR's creative world stands as a symbolic bridge between RCR and Japan, which has long been a source of inspiration for the architects.

All are encouraged to come experience a piece of the "geography of dreams" that RCR is slowly forming into reality through this diverse presentation, which includes actual structural components of the Paper Pavilion, a documentary film on their travels to Yoshino, and handmade drawings.
