Miralles Tribute
The Fundació Enric Miralles, supported by the Ajuntament de Barcelona and the Generalitat de Catalunya, promotes a choral tribute to Enric Miralles, one of the most emblematic figures of contemporary Catalan architecture. Last year was the 20th anniversary of his death.
MIRALLES is a program of exhibitions and activities that shows to the public the architect’s legacy: works in Barcelona -the city where he lived and worked-, Catalonia and worldwide. The tribute addresses the different facets of him as a multidisciplinary creator: architect, designer, photographer, and teacher.
