Josep MiàsThis catalogue shows the exhibition “The making of making (architecture)” by MIAS architects, exhibited at the Design Museum of Barcelona

Josep Miàs This exhibition analyses the design processes of MIAS studio, founded by Josep Miàs in 2000. The show proposes a route for the design process through seven concepts: Between lines, Everything could happen, Oniric spaces, Assemblage, Architecture to take away, X-RAYS and Ripped Surfaces. These concepts appeal to the most basic actions of the creative and productive process of study. With Contributions of Peter Cook, Izaskun Chinchilla, Bob Sheil, Josep Miàs, Marina Povedano

MIAS Architects at Centre Pompidou

Josep MiàsAs a kid who wanted to be an architect you could either make clay shapes, drag pieces of driftwood into vague boxes - or put together Meccano cages.

Josep Miàs Tracing through the pieces being published, you sense that Josep Mias is essentially a man who takes strips and edges and develops them into meshes, and then maybe combs, and then maybe honeycombs with a conspicuously boyish delight in making the sketch, the linear diagram, the scale model and the built building. Underlying the apparently fearless is a sense of what can fly, swing, lurch, lean or rest: in other words the composite that makes something possible to be as it is in space. With contributions of Peter Cook EBOOK VERSION

iGuzzini: Barcelona Corporate Building

Josep MiàsLight and architecture lie at the base of the iGuzzini Illuminazione strategy. During the day, a “natural” organic form creates high-quality and highly-ergonomic workplaces

Josep Miàs/ MiAS Light and architecture lie at the base of the iGuzzini Illuminazione strategy. During the day, a natural organic form creates high-quality and highly-ergonomic workplaces. At night, the building is transformed by artifical light into a glowing landmark in the landscape, a gigantic lantern. The project is the result of profound technological research, that runs parallel to the building?s use: an R&D centre for the development of technical knowledge and expertise in lighting systems. This publication collects all aspects of this building: from the competition phase to the opening ceremony every step is described: structure, sustainabilty aspects, skin, lighting... Exceptional photographs by Jordi Bernado and Adria Goula round up this volume. EBOOK EDITION
