When it is difficult to describe or understand an architectural work it produces such a special interest that the eye can’t stop searching references of it... The interesting qualities of the work of Miralles Tagliabue EMBT for the rehabilitation of the City Council of Utrecht, make its generous production a disquieting object of research and analysis. The development of the thinking process reflected in the sketches, models, drawings of construction details, photographs, collages, would have been developed without a preestablished hierarchy, resulting in a dense amount of material of varying nature and scale. On the other hand, the process of production works, together with great discipline at work, far from responding to modes or systems of methodical description, will be at least as interesting as the final result. So according to this, his work is not a formal investigation, it is only content.
