Enric Miralles was kind, intelligent, full of joie de vivre, and a wonderful architect.
The Igualada Cemetery outside Barcelona, one of his early projects, is one of the most poetic buildings I have been to.
I became an instant admirer and was never disappointed.

Our hearts go out to Benedetta Tagliabue, his wife and partner, and to his two young children.

Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue designed one of the small pavilions for Kolonihaven, the Architecture Park, under construction in Copenhagen since 1996. Unfortunately the pavilion has not yet been constructed; I will make sure it is the first one on the list next Spring.
