He was mostly active in designing in Catalonia, where among other projects he worked on the design for the renovation of the port area of Barcelona, and the design and construction of the Olympic Village there in 1992.[2][1] One of MBM's latest projects is the construction of the Disseny Hub Barcelona centre and museum building, which officially opened in December, 2014, shortly after David Mackay died.[3]
