Bofill, Bohigas and more – the architects who sculpted contemporary Catalonia

Cristina Tomàs White and Gerard Escaich Folch join Lorcan Doherty to remember two giants in the world of Catalan architecture that passed away recently: Ricardo Bofill and Oriol Bohigas.

They discuss their legacy and that of some other leading figures from recent decades that have made their mark on Barcelona and around the world.

Guifré Jordan is one of thousands to pay tribute to Bofill at his Sant Just Desvern workshop.

Stefanie Herr and Lorenzo Kárász from Guiding Architects Barcelona take us on a tour of 22@, the former industrial zone in Barcelona that's been transformed into a design and innovation hub.

This week's Catalan phrase is 'enlloc com a casa', which means 'no place like home'.
