EMBT career

Tagliabue began her collaboration with Enric Miralles, with whom she founded the studio Miralles Tagliabue EMBT.[1] Together their work includes iconic buildings and public spaces in Barcelona such as the Gas Natural tower, Santa Caterina market, and Diagonal Mar park. Buildings in other European cities include the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, Utrecht’s town council, and a music school in Hamburg. Under Tagliabue’s direction, the studio currently works not only within scope of architecture, but also within that of landscape, public space, building restoration, temporary installations, and design.
