1934. Scottish Parliament Building

 

Dear Arthur,

"From our recollections of Scotland we find these 

images (a row of Scottish boats laying on the ground 

upside down) that stick in our minds...The boats 

offered by the land. We like these boats not only in 

their construction, but also in their delicate presence 

in a place. Something about their form floating in the 

landscape should be part of our project"

(Enric Miralles)

Estimado Luis,

"Fue algo increible cuando me enteré de que había ganado el concurso. Había puesto una botella de champán durante una semana en la nevera, esperando y rezando que yo fuera el ganador" (E. Miralles)

Querida Benedetta,

139. Mercado de Santa Caterina, Barcelona

Domenec,

"The city appears at once brutal and romantic.
Stuffy and cramped yet filled with memories.
The market had to be remodeled in order to bring
back to live its neighborhood. Conducting the traffic
flow from Via Layetana towards the interior of this
area was also essential. Nevertheless, the work was
almost uniquely about designing a roof that would
be able to do all that." (B.Tagliabue)

Best.

Dear Charles,

"From our recollections of Scotland we find these images

that stick in our minds...The boats offered by the land.
We like these boats not only in their construction, but also
in their delicate presence in a place. Something about their
form floating in the landscape should be part of our project."
