Regarding permanence ‘as contrary to existence’, Enric Miralles employed architecture as a means of providing people with experiences of the passage of time. Here Philip Speranza , Assistant Professor in the School of Architecture and Allied Arts at the University of Oregon and Director of its Barcelona Urban Design Program, describes three early works that Miralles and his partner Carme Pinós undertook in the early 1990s with this preoccupation in mind: the Boarding School in Morella, Castellon, Spain; the pergola walkway for the Paseo Icaria, in Barcelona's Olympic Village; and the Igualada Cemetery in Barcelona.
