44|PROTAGONISTA Benedetta Tagliabue: “Light is reality and it is architecture” For Benedetta Tagliabue a good architect is the one who responds fully to the requirements of the situation. She is a perfect example. After the untimely death of her husband and partner Enric Miralles in the year 2000, she continued to run their study Miralles Tagliabue EMBT as sole partner, finishing the more than ten works that Miralles left incomplete and starting new ones as well. Presently, she projects buildings in China and Taiwan and designs “warm” lights, as she told iCandela in an interesting conversation on architecture and lighting.
