Walden 7, Residential complex in Sant Just Desvern, Spain
The fourteen-story building contains 446 apartments arranged around five interior courtyards, featuring a distinctive modular structure with red and blue exterior walls.
Completed in 1975, architect Ricardo Bofill designed this structure as part of a larger residential project influenced by the social movements of 1968.
The name derives from Henry David Thoreau's Walden and B.F. Skinner's Walden Two, reflecting principles of community living and social interaction.
The apartments range from single modules to four-module units, with access through an intricate system of bridges and balconies connecting different levels.
Two swimming pools sit atop the building, offering residents recreational facilities while maintaining the architectural integration of communal spaces.
