Collage 02: Concept & Ideas

Collages by EMBT: Enric Mirailles Benedetta Tagliabue Architects:

Collage is simple technique of cutting, placing and sticking, yet in the process one is selecting and discarding and (wittingly or unwittingly) remembering and forgetting. The process of selection fine tunes what you are really interested in; it will help you figure out and then communicate what is at the core of your project... 

Miralles: 'Collage of Ideas'

"a collage is a document that fixes a thought in a place, but it fixes it in a vague way, deformed and deformable; it fixes a reality in order to be able to work with it."  Enric Miralles
