10:35 pm
since there is another option that is more equal friendly, that can be able to reduce the number of kids that are cut to make themselves the process of dining, discarded and use the purse into pencil. seems like a very liberal. how is that? my mood has been doing the since 2017 and now has the down to a fine art they help for the test to continue to go see us ad also was to schools and plants, cheese by dream that reassuring them that you have a very important role to play in advocating for entitlement, the st. you to learn by experience. so the plant a tree that will remember their whole life in sub saharan africa, more than one in 3 adults cannot treat a 182000000 adults unable to read and write. when 48000000 youth between the ages of 15 to 24 are in the take the excess procession that a for me when i was this group, we were this at the system with
10:36 pm
a lot of this teams are provided by the government to free and so as long as you are in the government school, or you what i can towards the excise books, pensive and everything that you needed was already covered the when it, in the hopefully to see campaign. last year, we impacted a $145000.00 school children. this 145000 feet each one was able to get our pensive and we managed to get to schools and planted trees planted a bus $7500.00 c is last year alone. with these recycled pencils, that's much more tons out keys, not only giving children the tools needed to excel in life, but also making them aware of the environments by using these waste feedback to create these unique sense of
10:37 pm
no innovation that made sustainability for the future. i think is a volcanic house and they gave me a as a modern environment to be friendly home. it utilizes low maintenance ad, locally sourced materials and places emphasis on the coast to stay inability. i just sent it around to providence indigenous tree that stands in the garden courtyard. i'm joined by gregory cuts to tell us small. gregory were standing on the roof top of health and they gave me a tell me a bit more about the push towards sustainability in your industry. if you're not thinking about sustainability, if you're designing homes, especially homes like this from scratch, and then you're not doing your job properties. you know, it's such a big issue. can you tell us about the grief that you received from the client? some of the things that came up in those initial conversations were like in formal
10:38 pm
way of living requirement for the 1st time. and in particular, was that the one to the house on a single level that into 10 to lots. and so really we needed a lot of space for, for entertaining. and we made very big open plan gestures on the ground floor. but the kitchen and kind of integrated into the space into the, into the entertainment space. and the challenges when you, when you're making space, it's like this, the kind of float is how do you keep them cuz they're very strategies that re adults to, to make them feel more intimate. but you know, it's all that for co, we've got this amazing climates and um, and so it's the houses, it's a very open, it's open to the landscape. this huge doors it's, it's basically a dropbox that sits on the ground. and these 2 defining planes, the one is the gone plane and the other one is the ceiling claim. and then these various objects which treat insert into that, into that box. you know what i am looking forward to seeing everything around the
10:39 pm
house. the sanchez view is an award winning illustrative that has received the cross cold lou are you award? she's a female illustrate to that aims to bring her culturally in spite of twigs into the male dominated graphic novel industry. lisk, it inspired, imagined zulu called up in the skies the significance of my flies before the collaboration was quite a big deal because it's something i never imagined would ever be able to do as an industry to have in my work on the interior. how the plane is not something i had in the plans, but i'm very thankful for the opportunity. it helps significance because i suppose i wanted to find the bigger platform to express south african culture and have people see it and takes them to call to to this guy's name, j. z. ziller is an illustrate thing. his work not only showcases his skill as an artist,
10:40 pm
but also brings the representation of african culture as to the fold. she's a custodian, those really called jeff preserving tradition and educating others through eye catching illustrations. i would consider that illustration isn't necessarily a medium, it's a specialty. and within that specialty you can use many mediums to illustrate. and i chose illustration because it has great communicative power in the sense that you can communicate to a large audience to visual appeal. and you can cross multiple languages and barriers between people just through the appeal and visual as a tell thing to found it difficult to relate to illustrations is the cultural books, even though they were visually interesting. it didn't seem to characters she could relate to. now being an illustrator herself, it's motivated her to correct that in balance in her work. i'm working on a comic book. the name of the comic book is nandita, the protective, there's a new kingdom. it's my passion project. it is literally by baby because it is
10:41 pm
actually inspired by my niece who was born recently. so it's named off to her. it's also story about a young girl who was trying to figure out what it's like to have dreams, where she needs with some of the ancestors and she learns different ways of life. she's quote between the suburbs and the township, and she's just navigating the world in between those 2 spaces. one of the characters is assigned to them and she is a guide for the main character and kind of gives her a little bit about life lessons that you can carry through out her own life. you know, i have relatives and my grandmother was also assigned to my so we kind of had that 1st hand experience of what a supplement is and what they do. and essentially a single most someone who kind of gives you a little bit more guidance, spiritual guidance on your life, and how to go about certain things with caution. and so i think kids work and leads
10:42 pm
to her own flu call to the also entices others to discover the traditions she needs to impact the education sector. by integrating her illustrations with teaching literacy in south africa. this is because i grew up in the suburbs and i went to model c schools. so i didn't necessarily have that much of an understanding of my ancestors and the traditions of my culture. although whenever family did come together and have these traditions, i was always curious about what they meant, what they were, and i think it is important to bring it into our everyday lives that peace of mind everyday life. because adult significance and, you know, it provides energy to keep me going from pages to goals who message is carried strongly through her images and the color. she uses this all to it gives a don't on the walls of jewels to tea in the same to of, to had his face. so my mural reps around the entire building. and the challenge
10:43 pm
that i had was to tell a story with the mural. the story behind the mural is basically about a young girl who's traveling through town and she gets on a text the to the 1st we plan. and then the story, she picks up to the items, little pieces of attire, from the culture that she with. and through that journey she kind of understand her connection back to her own culture. i would like for people to look at the work, see a sense of brightness, be reminded of some child like quality in the way that they may be create. but the reason why i use bright to tons of color throughout all my pilots is to try to foster a sense of joy and happiness. just a few steps from the mural is a place we some of our ideas came a live david crude projects. think it's collaboration with the studio allows you to dip her feet in the face. prince may king. this was a collaboration between myself and the director of the workshop, which is
10:44 pm
a maple and the most to print to cover the series which is boxy catch break. each of the characters find themselves and these folk would predicaments within the city. and i kind of touch on stereotypes and the illustrations themselves. and stereotypes like the ways that foreign is all kind of portrayed in the city and how it, how it feels like as a person to one to escape south africa because of the things that are happening in our country. and i also touch on the comedic side of things because these creatures are awkward, and i feel like a lot of the viewers can identify themselves in each of the creatures and identify with how strange it can be to be in a city that's still developing. still recovering from all of its history and all of its cost and trying to be represented as something that's a little bit more diverse and more of the community. i think that it's important to break stereotypes because they form the fundamental of prejudice. and they kind of
10:45 pm
eliminate the need to see people as individuals. and i think that that need is really important. and this is why i tried to challenge stereotypes in my own work. we are a young country, i am the age of the democracy of our country. and i still believe that we have so much to offer as fontose, as illustrators. and as individuals in general, being in control of how the country is represented in some way, shape or form, i think is important so that the rest of the world can see south africa in a new contemporary light. case work is a testament to the fact that by modernizing the messages of the cost we can learn when we come from and still appreciate how it is relevant to our present. i know back to you. great. now this house was built around a large indigenous tree. how did you incorporate the tree into the design of the
10:46 pm
house? you know, when we 1st came to this piece of land and the trees standing gloriously in the middle of off the stand. i'm not sure of the age, but it's very established and had a real presence on the sites and the youth was kind of precious resource for us to design around. we use the tree as a kind of mock understand to determine like how to position the house. so you can see that this is the living room waiting a day. you have the bedroom waiting, and we placed this living room where as close to the tree as we could so as not to disrupt its roots and in comes damage us. thank you so much quick for you. a time it is good to see sustainability taking center stage. zanzibar, an occupational go just off the coast of 10, zenia is a power dies for those seeking and exotic and tropical escapes. the perfect blend
