The Spanish city of Barcelona has hosted the World Architecture Festival, which celebrates global design. Projects from 67 countries were on show, many reflecting the tough economic times we're currently living in.

From Antoni Gaudi's modernist buildings to skyscrapers designed by world-class architects, Barcelona is a true architectural Mecca.

The renaissance experienced by the Catalan capital in recent years has been recognized with the city becoming the base for the World Architecture Festival for the second year.

The event - which ran from 4th to the 6th of November, brought together some of the world's finest architects, and showcased many innovative buildings.

272 projects were finally short-listed, in 15 categories.
