Miralles Tagliabue EMBT, in collaboration with Bordas+Peiro, has been announced as winner among 5 proposals of a two-stage competition organized by the Société du Grand Paris, to design the future metro station Clichy – Montfermeil in Paris, France, one of the two "emblematic" stations for line 16.

Société du Grand Paris has awarded the management contract for the North lines 14, 16 and 17 south of the Grand Paris Express. Engineers and architects are working on the design of the infrastructure works and railway stations affected. 

"Just weeks after the investment authorization approved by our Supervisory Board, Société du Grand Paris is conducting studies of projects Northern lines 14, 16 and 17 south of the Grand Paris Express. Once again this year, the award of these contracts will generate significant activity in the areas of engineering and architecture, amounting to 200 million euros of investment," says Philippe Yvin, CEO. 

To design and build the flagship stations of these lines, the Société du Grand Paris chose Elizabeth de Portzamparc (AECDP) to Le Bourget RER station and the team of  Miralles Tagliabue and  Bordas + Peiro for Clichy-Montfermeil station. The group will be assigned to the Gare Saint-Denis Pleyel be known in late October.

More information

Benedetta Tagliabue was born in Milan (June 24, 1963) and graduated from the University of Venice in 1989. In 1991 she joined Enric Miralles’ studio eventually becoming a partner. Her work with Miralles, whom she married, includes several high-profile buildings and projects in Barcelona: Parque Diagonal Mar (1997-2002), Head Office Gas Natural (1999-2006) and the Market and Quarter Santa Caterina (1996-2005), as well as projects across Europe, including the School of Music in Hamburg (1997-2000) and the City Hall in Utrecht (1996-2000).

In 1998 the partnership won the competition to design the new Scottish Parliament building. Despite Miralles’ premature death in 2000, Tagliabue took leadership of the team as joint Project Director and the Parliament was completed in 2004, winning several awards.

She won the competition for the new design of Hafencity Harbor in Hamburg, Germany, a subway train station in Naples, and the Spanish Pavilion for Expo Shanghai 2010 among others.

Today under the direction of Benedetta Tagliabue the Miralles-Tagliabue-EMBT studio works with architectural projects, open spaces, urbanism, rehabilitation and exhibitions, trying to conserve the spirit of the Spanish and Italian artisan architectural studio tradition which espouses collaboration rather than specialization.

Their architectural philosophy is dedicating special attention to context.

Benedetta has written for several architectural magazines and has taught at, amongst other places, the University of Architecture ETSAB in Barcelona. She has lectured at many international architectural Forums as, for example, the RIBA, the Architectural Association and Bartlett School in, London, the Berlage Institut in Amsterdam, and in the USA, China and South America.
