Ricardo Bofill aimed to create something truly distinctive when he designed La Muralla Roja. Although he was trained in classical architecture, Bofill earned a reputation as an innovator. His work often blends traditional and postmodern elements. Postmodern structures typically display irregular or complex patterns and a lack of symmetry. Bofill drew inspiration from the kasbah, a type of fortress commonly found in North Africa. Usually built from brick or clay, kasbahs often include terraced living spaces and exposed staircases.
里卡多．波菲爾在設計紅牆時，力求打造真正獨樹一格的作品。雖然他接受的是古典建築學的訓練，但波菲爾卻以創新者的身分獲得聲譽。他的作品經常融合傳統與後現代元素。後現代建築通常呈現不規則或複雜的圖案，並且缺乏對稱性。波菲爾從卡斯壩中汲取靈感，它是北非常見的一種堡壘。卡斯壩通常由磚塊或陶土建造，經常包含階梯式居住空間和外露的樓梯。
