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).
