Guifré Jordan visits Bofill's workshop in Sant Just Desvern, one of thousands paying tribute to the late architect.

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.

The team look at the legacy of Barcelona '92 and discuss the mark made in Barcelona and beyond by a host of architects, including Beth Galí, José Antonio Coderch, Benedetta Tagliabue and Enric Miralles. 

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