Enric
Miralles

Enric Miralles (1955–2000) was a Spanish architect celebrated for his dynamic, expressive designs that redefined contemporary architecture. Co-founder of EMBT, his notable works include the Scottish Parliament Building, the Santa Caterina Market in Barcelona, and the Igualada Cemetery. Influenced by organic forms, Catalan traditions, and structural experimentation, Miralles created fluid, site-responsive architecture that embraced movement and complexity. His ability to merge historical context with playful, sculptural design made him a leading voice in postmodern architecture. Though his career was tragically short, his legacy endures through his innovative approach to materials, form, and spatial storytelling.
