The exhibition will document the work of the Enric Miralles Foundation with the focus on the urban intervention project ‘BCN RE.SET’. Benedetta Tagliabue (EMBT) and the stage director Àlex Ollé (La Fura dels Baus) invited six international architects to create ephemeral installations, each associating different themes linked to the commemoration of Tricentenari BCN, organized by the City Council and curated by Toni Soler: Identity, Diversity, Freedom, Democracy, Memory and Europe.
Some of Barcelona’s most symbolic public spaces were changed thanks to the design of the teams of Benedetta Tagliabue and Àlex Ollé (Spain), Odile Decq (France), Peter Cook(United Kingdom) & Yael Reisner (Israel), Grafton Architects (Ireland), ETH Zürich & Urban-Think Tank (Switzerland/Venezuela), Anupama Kundoo (India/ Australia) and Urbanus(China), in conjunction with Barcelona’s leading schools of architecture and design.
The Enric Miralles Foundation is a center for the experimentation of contemporary architecture based on the way of doing and thinking established by Enric Miralles and is conceived as a platform for the promotion of knowledge. The Foundation is an open space in which the legacy of Miralles’ work will encourage future generations of architects to experiment and explore.
