Benedetta Tagliabue

Award-Winning Architect; Co-founder of Miralles Tagliabue EMBT

Barcelona has undergone several urban transformations in the last few decades, and award-winning architect, Benedetta Tagliabue, has been an instrumental part. Attendees will get insight into her innovative approach to design, and the important role experimentation plays in creating spaces that are changing the landscape of Barcelona.

Tagliabue and her late husband, Enric Miralles, created Miralles Tagliabue EMBT, an internationally recognized architecture firm. Currently based in Barcelona and Shanghai, the firm focuses on public spaces and buildings for government, corporate, and private clients across Europe and China.

Among her most notable projects are the Scottish Parliament Building, Diagonal Mar Park, Santa Caterina Market, Torre Mare Nostrum, and University of Vigo’s campus. She also created the Spanish Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, which was awarded the prestigious Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) “Best International Building of 2011” award.

Tagliabue’s poetic, experimental architecture has won numerous international awards in design and public space, including the notable 2013 RIBA Jencks Award, given annually to an individual or practice that makes a major international contribution to the theory and practice of architecture. She has also won the 2015 RIBA Stirling Prize, 2006 National Spanish Prize, 2002 Catalan National Prize, 2005 and 2009 City of Barcelona Prize, and FAD prizes in 2000, 2003, and 2007.

Born in Milan, Tagliabue graduated from the Istituto Universitario di Architettura di Venezia (IUAV) in 1989. In 2004, she received an Honorary Doctor of Arts degree from Napier University. She’s currently a jury member for the Pritzker Prize. In addition, Tagliabue is the director of the Enric Miralles Foundation, devoted to promoting experimental architecture in honor of her late husband, Enric Miralles.
