CENTER FOR EXPERIMENTATION OF
CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE
The Enric Miralles Foundation is an open space in which the legacy of
Enric´s work can continue to inspire new generations of architects
to experiment and explore.
It is based on methods of inquiry established by Enric and is conceived
of as a platform for the promotion of knowledge.
In addition to housing the archive of Enric Miralles, the Foundation
will promote programs, workshops, courses, conferences, lectures,
and international exchanges.
The archive includes all project drawings, sketches, notes, photographs,
correspondence and approximately one thousand original
models.
Th is archive will give the public insight into Enric´s unique intellectual
and architectonic design process and will be completely integrated
into the Fundation´s activities.
Enric Miralles
Enric Miralles (Barcelona, 1955, Sant
Feliu de Codines, 2000) died young, at the
height of his career, when his work had
achieved international renown. The author
of overwhelming buildings, he combined a
genuinely new language with a profound
respect for place. He left us a sparkling
architectural world and a prolifi c intellectual
body of work: writings, drawings, sketches,
photomontages, diaries and almost a
thousand original models preserved in his
studio.
The Enric Miralles Foundation is responsible
for the custody and management of the
legacy of the architect Enric Miralles and the
work that he created together with Benedetta
Tagliabue. This archive, which includes more
than 800 original models, will be catalogued
and digitalized so that it is accessible to
everybody. Furthermore, it will give the
public insight into Enric’s unique intellectual
and architectonic design process and be
integrated into the Foundation’s activities.
OVERVIEW
The course integrates theory, practice and design and the disciplines of architecture and the city with the analytical discipline of
research, while maintaining a timely relevance to the contemporary world’s challenges of inter-disciplinary knowledge, sustainable urbanism, social inclusion and exclusion, architecture and computing, spatial cognition, the physical and immaterial dimensions of social networks, and a user-centred approach to design innovation.
The program is structured in 9 subjects and special master-classes. Every subject is both theoretical (mornings) and practical
(afternoons). We believe in “making while thinking” and generate open discussions.
The students will develop their own proposal for La Grand Paris (www.societedugrandparis.fr/english).
There will be a site-study trip to Paris at the beginning of the program and visits to the buildings by EMBT architects in Barcelona
such as Santa Caterina Market and neighborhood renovation (http://tinyurl.com/oatxkya), Gas Natural Tower (http://tinyurl.com/
o55827b), Diagonal Mar Park (http://tinyurl.com/o55827b), Igualada’s cemetery (http://tinyurl.com/pa4ojok), Icaria Pergolas

Santiago Cirugeda
He is the personification of guerrilla architecture, though he prefers to call himself a citizen. He understands
how hard it is for people to improve their own environs and set up the collective Recetas Urbanas (Recipes for
the City) to empower other citizens to find loopholes in planning laws to adapt and create their environments
– something artists or an architects do by obtaining permits for installations and temporary interventions.
He himself has developed a series of subversive projects which explore the complexities of urban life today.
These include the occupation of public spaces and containers, building prostheses into facades, patios and
empty lots, negotiating a way between legal and illegal zones, reminding us of the pervasive control to which
we are all subject.
Cirugeda is also known for urban interventions, such as Take Back the Streets, in which he placed a skip in
the centre of Seville which could be used as a swing, a stage, a mini-skate park, a small pond with a fountain,
a flowerbed or even a swimming pool. In 2007, he published the book Situaciones Urbanas, in which he
presented a wide variety of projects, along with their legal ramifications and social impact.
His work is therefore about the possibility of action, appropriation, occupation and use, wherein the citizen
can act as initiator, using the guidelines and instructions set out by Cirugeda, to build, display or create space.
He received the 2015 RIBA International Fellowships.
