SHOW #17

Architecture

In late October, Barcelona hosts the World Architecture Festival during which the great and good will attempt to choose the best building in the world. CNN will get exclusive access to the event, the nominations and the jury which includes some of the world’s greatest architects.

The program will start with an explanation of Barcelona’s unique architectural heritage. It will then feature short pieces on six of the architects and the buildings that have been nominated for awards. These profiles have been filmed in Mumbai, Tokyo, Pretoria, Munich, London and Maryland.

We’ll also feature interviews with some of the world’s leading architects, including Lord Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid and Wolf D Prix.

At the end of the show, the best building in the world will be chosen and we will interview the winning architect.
