Enric Miralles Moya (1955-July 3, 2000) was a Spanish Catalan architect. Miralles' largest work, the new Scottish Parliament Building, was unfinished at the time of his death. The new Scottish Parliament Building brought together [previously separated] elements into one purpose built parliamentary complex, housing 129 MSPs and more than 1,000 staff and civil servants. Despite criticisms and a mixed public reaction, the building was welcomed by architectural academics and critics. The building aims to conceive a poetic union between the Scottish landscape, its people, its culture and the city of Edinburgh. This approach won the parliament building numerous awards including the 2005 Stirling Prize and has been described as "a tour de force of arts and crafts and quality without parallel in the last 100 years of British architecture" The Scottish Parliament Building was designed with a number of sustainability features in mind. A minimum of 80% of the electricity purchased for the building is required to come fr

The roof structure is made from reinforced steel and oak laminated beams. This enables the Chamber to span 30 metres without supporting columns, an overall area of approximately 1200 square metres. The roof beams are held in place by 112 unique stainless steel nodes or connecting joints made in Aberdeen, and are one of the Chamber's most prominent design features.
