Benedetta Tagliabue: EMBT: Weaving Architecture

With a poetic yet sustainable design approach, Tagliabue and her studio reshape the role of public buildings in urban settings This monograph brings together a selection of works by Benedetta Tagliabue – EMBT, an internationally acknowledged architecture studio founded in Barcelona in 1994 by Enric Miralles (1955–2000) and Benedetta Tagliabue (born 1963) that has shaped the face of European architecture. With projects such as the Santa Caterina market and neighborhood in Barcelona, the Parliament in Scotland, the transformation of the old port of Hamburg in Hafencity and the new church and parish complex San Giacomo in Ferrara, this book presents the EMBT studio's methodology and architectural approach. Through a collection of visual materials, texts and narratives, this book weaves notable projects to showcase the design philosophy and thought process of Benedetta and Enric's studio through an approach to understanding space, connecting people, narratives and locations through an integrated architectural and contemporary lens.
