The most special summer of architect Josep Miàs's life is a profoundly sad one. It was the summer that Enric Miralles died twenty-five years ago, from a brain tumor at the age of 45. He had been his professional mentor and life reference for a decade: first, as a professor; then, as a colleague, and finally, as a friend. "The summer of my life had a very sad part: the loss of a reference. It was a very hard blow, but I believe that hard blows are learning opportunities to begin a new phase," says Miàs.
