Founded in 1994, the Barcelona-based studio Miralles Tagliabue EMBT – directed by Benedetta Tagliabue since the premature death of Enric Miralles in 2000 – stands out for a creative process that is characterized by its poetic approach and the attention to the context, history, and culture of each place, and which produces an architecture strongly attached to the genius loci and formally inspired by nature. To mark the firm’s thirtieth anniversary, the magazine AV Monographs gathers a selection of eighteen works spanning from the beginnings in Barcelona and its metropolitan area – House in the Gothic Quarter, Santa Caterina Market, or the Palafolls Public Library – to the international expansion of the office with projects built in Europe – Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, Centro Direzionale Station in Naples, San Giacomo Church in Ferrara – as well as in China – the Spanish Pavilion for Expo Shanghai, Fudan Campus, or Zhang Daqian Museum. This body of work is preceded by a conversation in which Benedetta Tagliabue comments on some of the key moments of her career in an interview conducted by Beatriz Colomina and Mark Wigley in Milan.
