描述
Born in Barcelona in 1955, Enric Miralles established himself as part of the rising Spanish architecture scene of the late 1980s together with his first wife, architect Carme Pinós. From the mid-1990s he formed a new practice with his second wife, Benedetta Tagliabue, with whom he worked until his early death in 2000. This extensive tribute to Miralles and his all too short career covers the trajectory of his collaborations, solo works, writings, and more, following from projects such as the La Llauna School and La Mina Civic Centre, to an increasingly global portfolio including the Japan National Library, Hamburg Music School, Venice School of Architecture, and the Scottish Parliament.
This Integral Volume of El CroquisIt is a revised and expanded reissue of the volumes dedicated to the work of Enric Miralles: 30, 49/50, 72(II), 100/101 and 144. This digital edition includes unpublished projects that have been reissued, as well as critical essays, original texts and interviews, making up a volume of more than 800 pages that offers a journey through the architect’s complete work.
