Our 26th stop is at Enric Mirrales Benedetta Tagliabue - EMBT (Barcelona, SP) alongside Benedetta Tagliabue.

Sometimes, EMBT are attracted by something very simple. Therefore, they allow themselves to be a little bit like a child just to permite these ideas to emerge. “Maintaining the lightness of the first idea is a very very tough work”. And that is exactly what they work for “Projects, specially if they have a very long time or have many people involved, they have a tendency of getting diluted.”

“Enrique used to consider projects as alive beings, as a child. (…) So, in a way, projects need this attention as if they are people, they need to be looked after, they need to be helped in the difficult moments of their growing.”

Did you know that some projects are selfish, a good kind of selfish?

Did you know that some big roofs were supped to be even bigger then ended up being?

Did you know that some projects  are “nearly finished” and “have been nearly finished for 5 years”?

“You need a lot of strength to maintain things into its pureness and beauty.”
