It is impossible to dissociate the
evolution of Enric Miralles' architecture from the development of his
own system of representation. Founded on an initial position inherited
from his training at the Barcelona School of Architecture and his
practice at the office of Viaplana-Piñón, where he acquired a liking for
precision in drawing and a graphic style based exclusively on lines of
the same thickness, Miralles soon developed a method defined by a
customised use of orthographic projections, connected to a fragmented
conception of the architectural plan and space itself.


The Miralles Projection
explains both the origin and evolution of Miralles' system of
representation, from his time as an architecture student and
collaborator at Viaplana-Piñón to the latest projects he designed with
Benedetta Tagliabue, including the significant period with Carme Pinós.
With a curated selection of previously unpublished drawings, it
demonstrates on a fundamental level how the evolution of his
architecture ran parallel to that of representation, thus illustrating
their indissolubility and mutual interdependence
