Conversations and Allusions Enric Miralles

The idea for this book originated in a conversation with Miralles to initiate a series of essays relevant to the ideas supporting the projects. He wanted his work to inspire and encourage others to advance the discipline he practiced with enormous creativity. Here in these essays, contributors often parallel the building process once described by Miralles: “Construction introduces an uncanny dimension into this process: One gets the impression the forms emerge for the first time, far removed from any repetition.” The uncanny dimension of these essays results from the personal approach each contributor offers on a subject they identify with Miralles. These essays are completely original works while simultaneously creating a familiarity with Miralles’ work.
