put on your look the person in the outfit become a unified whole but that's and that's what all the. clint martin's approach to constructing and deconstructing items of clothing has routes to run deep. before he attended the fashion academy and he completed his studies in architecture . he draws inspiration from historical buildings and personalities. my father often took me to churches and chateaus and taught me about history i was totally fascinated by it as a child when i started to draw i always sketched historical figures like a hole in clean up i try. and ran to a national sort of their clothing was very important for me because i knew clothes make the man because these influences can still be found in my collections today even though they're modern. with all that i could it's a massive cultural but. these designs are historical and of on guard all at once so

well as music he's composed for other projects. that you just be i mean i don't know what i almost never play my old songs anymore and. maybe i'm playing something from my musical chest so i thought i'd make a record with only old songs sorry old man plays old songs on the piano because but i got a lot up on news so i think they. have a shot to fame in one nine hundred seventy four when they won they your of asian song contest with a waterloo. the swedish group became world famous overnight. benny under sean was considered the band's musical genius he wrote the melodies and arranged the songs despite the fact that he couldn't read music they were in the studio that wasn't a problem. still under. i never dreamed that i

would become so successful. we did not expect that we tried to do good work how we tried his band this much time as we had trying to write first write the songs then record them and the best way we could and then just go on to the next song do the same thing so it's about where. in one nine hundred seventy two benny andersson founded abo with his future wife bonnie freed links that. band of married couple i'd need to fetch gold and be on hold because. over the next decade they released eight studio albums that spawned some thirty international hits. the swedish group has sold around four hundred million records today. have been split up in one thousand nine hundred two by then both couples had divorced and anderson and old

of his old songs is always a special experience for him. so this morning i am never the fad and i stopped that when we were almost finished with the recording and with put it together. on this the fact that it's not like a musical autobiography. could be a good. many understand its new album piano comes out this friday. well now on to a photographer who specializes in what he calls the conquest of nature then find him i wander all over europe seeking out places where human architecture is being reclaimed whether it be castle fathered in ivy or crumbling church walls shot through with roots with patience and a keen eye he documents the sometimes slow transformation or dramatic destruction wrought by time and the elements and he showed us some of his secret home.

when nature begins to reclaim what human hands of built in solitude fills holes in rooms once full of life. reveals a moment of beauty. the time is right to rediscover lost places. spent phantom a is a computer specialist by trade but at heart he's an official nado of crumbling architecture where ever in europe it may be. this time it's the inside of an old sewage plant close to where he lives in western germany. it's stood empty for over twenty years.

to help i know it's an impressive success of on the seven of us from new york it's just a very unique and magnificent art nouveau hall like you hardly ever see any more of the architecture is quite exceptional. and of even after i've seen so many different kinds of buildings and a lot of rawdon of architecture it's not i'm still impressed every time i see architecture with soul and i think to him it's seen as if it's a bit like old cars from the one nine hundred sixty s. where you can say this car really has character it's the same with his old buildings and avoidant. the whole dates back to one thousand nine hundred nine and it was supposed to have been torn down decades ago after it was closed various proposals for revitalizing it were put forward as a creative workshop an indoor climbing center or as artist studios nothing came of them at least spend phenom and can use it to make art with his camera after. the

metal the reinforced concrete and the paint peels. revealing the beauty in death and decay the central perspective. and inspires the imagination. how did the treatment plant. what did the sewage gurgling. and who used to work. is essential to uncover what is hidden and remember what's been forgotten. and he prefers to work alone he takes no one along who might help him when he takes his pictures in the derelict edifices. where did it happen that over the years you develop a good feel for many of us situational sets where you don't feel safe you just don't go there for safety comes first and you can't make any compromises even if it

means doing without a subject or to learn about staying alive is more important than even talking with the guy. many of his fellow last places photographers upload their work to the internet and publishes his and comprehensive photo albums his latest album with images from all over europe is called noir land. and automobile junkyard in belgium the. first came the junk then came the treaties. the protestant church in poland. a villa on lago majority italy. once the people move on nature's moves. as with this entire village in southern italy. are missing is

a central importance to me is just how small we humans really are and we always see ourselves as the kings of creation as if we could control everything. but my teacher always shows us very emphatically just how small we really are like this and. it's as if nature gradually liberates the structures from our pretensions and follies to claim them for itself. something of its own beauty and tranquillity. well now to an exercise in controlled greenery in the city and many people have caught on to the trend of urban gardening even if you only have a balcony while one couple in the croatian capital zagreb have converted an entire apartment into a food source and so we went to see what's. high rise. these

communist era apartment blocks in zagreb are part of a green revolution micro grains are grown here the global trend towards urban gardening is blossoming in croatia a few years back. and his wife sprouts in london and were thrilled. very few people were growing them in croatia. so they decided to cultivate them. but why did they choose to do it in an apartment building. all of which is that he's a micro greens need constant attention you must take care of them tend to them. we thought it would be best to grow them in our building so we bought another apartment. we live on the twenty first floor and grow the greens on the seventeenth . hail storms pelting rain direct sunlight

frost and snow on the seventeenth floor or rubella crescent coriander don't have to worry about the elements. bugs. the plants grow quickly without fertilizers or any other chemicals. and that's great news for local chefs. we supply around twenty restaurants in zagreb and a few more between orange and dubrovnik there exclusively top addressing. marco petrovich a big name in zagreb call unary same as one of their regular clients. but let's see it on the new year i can be sure that everything's organic get top quality and a big selection at the. one of the most popular drinks at his bar is gin tonic garnished with crest and edible flowers all grown and. jungle.
