About US

Miralles Tagliabue EMBT is an international architectural office, founded in 1991 by Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue in Barcelona. Coincidently this partnership began just before the start of the Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona’92, an apogee period of the city and its architecture.During their cooperation Enric and Benedetta started projects like the New Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, the Utrecht City Hall in Holland, the Headquartes of Gas Natural, the Market and neighborhood of Santa Caterina, their own house in the old city in Barcelona and so on.Their poetic architecture, always attentive to context, can be seen as a melting pot of ideas, a meeting point of traditions and innovations; where each project presents a challenge and at the same time a new learning opportunity.Their philosophy reflects the belief of changing the environment by observing and respecting the site, its history and culture.After the premature death of Enric Miralles in 2000, husband and partner of Benedetta, she continued leading their office, Miralles Tagliabue EMBT as a sole partner, finishing over ten uncompleted works of Enric and starting many new ones.Benedetta’s work includes a number of high profile buildings completed in Spain and abroad, such as: the Market and neighborhood of Santa Caterina, (1996-2005), the Diagonal Mar Park (1997-2002), the Headquartes of Gas Natural (1999-2006) in Barcelona, the new University Campus in Vigo, as well as projects across Europe and Asia: including the New Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh (1998-2004), the School of Music (1997-2000) and Hafencity public spaces in Hamburg (2002-2013), the City Hall in Utrecht (1996-2000), the Spanish Pavilion for Expo Shanghai 2010, Barajas Social Housing Blocks in Madrid (2013) and manymore.Today Miralles Tagliabue EMBT has offices in Barcelona and Shanghai, is operating all over the world with a number of new projects in Europe, China, Taiwan, etc. Continuously growing and developing, the working environment is multicultural and full of young aspiring architects working hand in hand with the project directors to produce new innovative ideas and designs.Nonetheless the office has kept its fundamental core: an open approach, full of exploration and experiments together with a high level of conceptual thought.

Miralles Tagliabue EMBT是一个国际建筑事务所，由Enric Miralles和Benedetta Tagliabue于1991年在巴塞罗那成立。巧合的是，这种合作关系开始于92年巴塞罗那夏季奥运会开始之前，这是一个城市及其建筑的巅峰时期。在他们的合作期间，Enric和Benedetta开始了一些项目，如爱丁堡的苏格兰新议会，荷兰的乌特勒支市政厅，天然气公司总部，圣卡特琳娜的市场和社区，他们自己在巴塞罗那老城区的房子等等。 他们的诗意建筑，始终关注环境，可以被看作是一个思想的熔炉，一个传统和创新的交汇点；每个项目都是一个挑战，同时也是一个新的学习机会。他们的哲学反映了通过观察和尊重场地、历史和文化来改变环境的信念。 2000年，贝内黛塔的丈夫兼合伙人恩里克-米拉里斯过早去世后，她作为唯一的合伙人继续领导他们的办公室，米拉里斯-塔利亚布埃EMBT，完成了恩里克的十多个未完成的作品，并开始了许多新的作品。 贝内黛塔的作品包括在西班牙和国外完成的一些高知名度的建筑，如：圣卡特琳娜市场和街区（1996-2005），对角线海洋公园（1997-2002），巴塞罗那的天然气总部（1999-2006），维哥的新大学校园，以及欧洲和亚洲的项目： 包括爱丁堡的新苏格兰议会（1998-2004），汉堡的音乐学院（1997-2000）和Hafencity公共空间（2002-2013），乌特勒支的市政厅（1996-2000），2010年上海世博会西班牙馆，马德里的Barajas社会住房区（2013）等等。 今天，Miralles Tagliabue EMBT在巴塞罗那和上海设有办事处，在世界各地开展业务，在欧洲、中国、台湾等地有许多新项目。持续的增长和发展，工作环境是多元文化的，充满了年轻的有抱负的建筑师与项目总监携手合作，产生新的创新理念和设计。尽管如此，办公室仍然保持其基本的核心：一个开放的方法，充满探索和实验，以及高水平的概念思维。EMBT事务所于2002年获得加泰罗尼亚国家奖，2005年获得英国皇家建筑师协会斯特林奖，2006年获得西班牙国家奖，2005年和2009年获得巴塞罗那市奖，2000年、2003年和2007年获得FAD奖，2010年和2011年获得WAF奖。
