Miralles Tagliabue - EMBT is an internationally recognized architecture studio founded in 1994 in Barcelona by Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue. The duo began work on landmark projects such as the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, Utrecht City Hall, and the Santa Caterina Market renovation. Following Miralles’ passing in 2000, Tagliabue has led the studio, completing ongoing works and initiating new projects worldwide.
Today, EMBT operates from offices in Barcelona, Shanghai, and Paris, delivering projects across Europe and Asia, including the Fudan University School of Management (Shanghai), HafenCity public spaces (Hamburg), and metro stations in Paris and Naples. The studio’s work spans educational, residential, commercial, and civic spaces, often for public clients, with a focus on urban integration and cultural sensitivity.
EMBT’s design philosophy centers on contextual and poetic architecture that evolves through a collaborative process. Each project is shaped by local history and client needs, blending innovation with technical precision. The studio fosters a multicultural, experimental environment and has earned numerous accolades, including the RIBA Stirling Prize and multiple FAD and WAF awards.
