welcome back to your max from awesome architecture to customize cars here's what's coming up in today's show. off the road one man and it's so cars. call it why it's a german photographer and the enemy partakes. and states of gray davis in green home and caught in haiti. to be honest our first report brings back childhood memories for me it's about soap boxes already small cars from the past come match with the ones funky fun cool and makes it all began as a hobby but today he even makes money by building a soap boxes for custom us they look like old racing cars from got

a ferrari and bentley some of them even motorized not only others love his classic creations. features that hark back to the olden days but this isn't a well preserved classic it's a soap box replica built in twenty seventeen and the proud possession of sisters and color to haas. the finns are fixing the example that we as kids are allowed to drive a come out even if it's a small come. out and it's a lot of fun. i really should this i think it's great to you because it's fun and it's always a new experience so. it's like. this soapbox even has a motor the girls to cedar is handmade and one of a kind it's a remake of the english 1930's the gonda rap sheet and it's pretty much their dad's

dream car dad christiane is a big fan of classic cars and he's aiming at house on his passion to young and color time. mine all from his course i'm very hopeful and i take my girls to classic car races at the new ring of time or sometimes they take part in rallies along with me and my wife and of all your time i'm optimistic that they'll make their father's hobby their own. self so. the two girls soon squabbled over this homage to the bukhari thirty five one of the most successful race cars of motor sport history so dad ordered a second old timer soap box to match his original nine hundred thirty eight bentley manufactured by the same person of course. these cars are basically built the same way the real ones were. and aluminum body on a wooden frame and the attention to detail and dedication to these cars is amazing

. and this is the man who builds them hung. from people in southern germany his artistry might not make him rich but he doesn't mind it's all about the look in kids' eyes. when i see that makes me really happy because that's what the cars are actually made for i mean i like drive able to but when children drive and really have a great time that's the greatest joy for me. it all started in two thousand and twelve there was the soap box race in village he had been tinkering with cars since he was sixteen so he had no problem building his own racer he didn't have the space to keep it up so he sold it there was such an onslaught of buyers that he turned building soapboxes into a regular thing you need to focus on those i love any type of car from before world war two they're all beautiful and if i have no favorites i like all my cars the same he works as a foreign sales agent but he's made quite

a name for himself with his classic soap box speedsters. have a certain basic idea in my head and then i start building and it just happens. and it develops itself on building it there's no fixed concept this is a concept i know what the car is supposed to look like when it's done and then i make sure that's how it turns out. each of his soap boxes is one of a kind the base is always a wooden board fixed to a wooden frame then he makes the aluminum body which can take weeks sometimes months depending on the model with all this attention to detail doesn't it hurt to let go of his mobile masterpieces. yes every time. but the problem is i can't keep everything. you have to let it go sooner or later and. but maybe just one can stay frank bank completely

rebuilt this classic car only the chassis and motor of the english one nine hundred thirty standard have remained. for custom husky design something extra special a soapbox to practice racing. you dave the idea was really to get a sense of the experience even endorse the car turned out beautifully for me but it doesn't have any wheels of course it runs on roller self but it really helps me practice for circus races. his daughters are still only ten and eleven years old and it'll be a while before they're racing for real. this is sad to be with the smaller cuz it's more comfortable even if it's time to get hit there is just so much more room . as in and to be honest it depends on where the culture and i are having an argument and when we find things i prefer riding alone and when we get along i like riding with habits. one doesn't run fight. if the two still

have a soft spot for cars like their dad when they grow up remains to be seen right now it's looking highly likely. an unusual exhibition a record breaking sea crossing and overall public appearance all coming out now in our you and makes express. some two hundred dollars to work on loan from the museum of modern art in new york on show in paris the exhibition beaches paintings by pavlo picasso and online matisse and puff such as royalist and shines drowning girl and and he will help us campbell's soup can the collection also includes installation. of the at come out and show what the new eva tone foundation continues through march fifth.

for her photo shoot at the beach they needed to catch the sunrise at six twenty two . this comes through and by you never know what'll happen if the inch how the horses will react i think that makes for a spectacular photographs. but while most of hera is already to pose for the camera former racehorse chico is struggling with the surf and also that it's new for them they haven't seen such big waves before but that getting used to it now a few seconds of them being still is all i need to. put them on on. the waves are a real challenge for the horses they won't straight far shore where they can't gauge the depth but the water temperature eighteen degrees celsius doesn't seem to pose a problem. we've got the sounds good she's really responding my issue is the cold in the wind

but it's also a lot of fun so i've been in berets. a change of clothes the horses and their rider are back on land any claim works all along the baltic and north sea coasts here in northern germany she's found a real nation the market. in . the next photo shoot is near rostock her subject is three month old pug. pugs are considered to be laid back and even a bit lethargic but you wouldn't know it looking at this little dog. up in bed. it's a challenge with puppies because they don't yet understand the command say to a stay it's not easy to make them sit down that's true enough but the good thing is they're curious but any small noise will grab their attention so you can use that

you have time for you. and me take seventy photos back home select the fifteen best ones. by a long time ago donations like this one of the names used to run the side horse drawn carriages that's not quite to ellis liking though who did this get a chance that i'd like to have her trotting over it quite naturally just as she normally does with you know i want her lovely nature to come across because she really is a lovely family dog and i'd love to see that reflected in the photographs and billions of you. and a claim will be travelling through germany until the middle of november always on the lookout for the perfect that photo. jura at its best your imax brings you the highlights on instagram stunning landscapes spectacular buildings and mouthwatering delicacy our reporters are

can't be too hot or too cold if it's too cold you can't bend it. but the most important thing. and this is what happens if you don't blow the glass. if you bend it like this and that's not how it should look. at the show now it's really hard so first i bend it by hand and then i blow into it . spending is a dying art these days neon has been largely replaced by l e d's thomas spend one used to work in a team but now works alone but a young girl in startup launched three years ago is helping revive the technique and the career of artists like thomas friend. and it is one of the co-founders. i love turquoise that's beautiful he founded the startup scientists with two friends

their office isn't often central but then the company produces custom neon sign this all clients have to do is register the text they want on the website and specify sillies shape and color company fields several hundred orders a month it works together with a number of bendis and i think we're helping preserve the community it's a very small community what they do is very nice especially if you're thinking beyond the berlin area we get inquiries from glassblowers from all over the world who say they'd love to visit us in berlin and take a closer look at what we're doing. the company has twenty three employees. these days its list of international clients include saudi google and the private museum of contemporary art the u.t.s. dosh collection in berlin. so.

this classic brick house in a copenhagen suburb dates from one nine hundred fifty. almost a century later interior designer a house or one of mine transformed the ugly duckling into a beautiful swan. oh. so our house and go when i get there i would like to show you how we live well come inside follow me. the house features a nuanced palette of gray with the finding accents of black the designer created an ambience that is serene yet impressive. for horn of mine color is more than a decorative element it's emotional. because this is very important that the it take you like in a journey it reminds you of places and it gives. imaginations of stories where you want to be you would like to and that's why there's no white

colors here in this house only the ceilings this white. house on a man lives here with her husband two children and three dogs. the kitchen is the focal point for the entire family. the designer has built a career on designing kitchen islands for clients she wanted her own kitchen to be as beautiful as a dysfunctional it's a kitchen but it's not just the kitchen it's more than that because the granite here the table top is brushed so it has like a softness it's not polished and shiny small soft in the surface and it goes really well together with the cabinet so when you have made of wood and it goes from one force for the other and when you push the door it comes. and it's electronic so it's practical it's beautiful but it's also functional. the

house boasts four hundred square meters of living space on three floors but despite its rambling size it maintains an intimate air. space is important to the heart of man and they use every inch of it. your house your castle and you you. surround you things surround yourself with things that you enjoy and you make it cozy you know the danish word for which is causing this so i think that's a big part of the danish culture we still bring a lot of friends and family spec to our homes so we have to open up our homes and maybe that's why we really consider how we live with beautiful things not only beautiful things like shapes but also good quality danish people like good quality and that makes it a little bit more fun. this isn't the first house that may not house a horn a man has bought and renovated for her family. but given how comfortable they feel
