over europe here's a quick look at what's coming up in the show. concrete revival post-war architecture is making a comeback. sticky creations featuring chewing gum hot from britain. and shot cuisine by bernard food is the rage here and belin. now the wants to ride it architectural style known as brutal ism is making an unexpected comeback some described post-war brutalist structures as giant concrete monsters the style flourished between the mid fifty's to mid seventy's in europe and became particularly popular for governmental and institutional buildings critics describe these structures as cold dull and unappealing and the buildings are routinely demolished these days but an exhibit in frankfurt is focused on preserving bruce

willis an architecture for future generations let's find out why. the period after world war two you saw the spread of massive concrete blocks in fifty centimes around your in. the german architecture museum in frankfurt is devoting an exhibition to the construction style known as bruton isn't featuring giants models. the curators can't be replicas built to showcase prime examples of greatness buildings from around the world. was out of the sex addition s.o.s. brutal ism is subtitled save the concrete monsters we wanted to bring viewers close to the power and the sculptural quality of this era we have these huge monsters standing around like animals in a zoo or one star and basically it's a conversation project we have an endangered species these concrete monsters. the

bruce buildings of the one nine hundred sixty s. . and her aim is to protect them and raise people's awareness of them for what happened but was turned off to have switched and. the a.f.p. tower in frankfurt was not down like many other groups in this buildings. robinhood gardens in london were recently slated for demolition to the residential block was designed by architects council alison and peter smith and they pioneered birches membrane after world war two i think we've built it's destroyed cities and making brutal ism derives from the french baton police meaning the old concrete. truth of what i just showed the board it's not typical brutalist building shows it's materials for plain and naked kind there's no covering over a sheet with no paint nothing that hides the construction of the toughest phase of modernism which i'd say was brutal as i'm. fascinates a lot of people because it emerged in that time with

a new kind of massiveness code. it is a type. of craze for brutal ism has broken out on the internet. tens of thousands of fans call for these buildings to be preserved. but few people could imagine living in them. i like very strong shapes it's very powerful bankers that's the feeling i get even with you and. i love it. because i like architecture and i think this building like it has some feeling about it i've had it turned down that's my opinion i'm. more than ten percent of the buildings from the period or currently threatened with demolition that's why the web site s o s brutal ism was low and uses helped create

a world map showing more than nine hundred brutalist buildings along with an overview of currently endangered examples. you can use this as a lesson brutal isn't platform to create a kind of public sphere with like minded people so we are a kind of concrete grassroots movement with. many architects are among the fans of britain as i'm on a brandel who bear of been lynn applies the principle of brutal ism to his new designs for building. he's trying to revamp concrete school image. does. seem to automatically associate concrete with big housing projects surreal social problems. and they associate a natural stone brass door handle. and wallpaper with happiness social peace. but

is that the way it really is and because. in a modest one family home he can create more living space by remodelling with concrete. the principle is much space so little money the brutalist buildings of the nineteen fifties and sixties paved the way. thanks to both the messages make more from less and i think this way of thinking spatial generosity with simpler materials is a timely stance for i can tell you for. the last brutal ism save the concretes monster it's an exhibition that does more than document a trend it also provides an impetus to change architecture the way brutalist on to take one shape the future.

now it's only november but many stores in europe are already preparing for the festive season that more and more express. the pronto department store in paris is getting shoppers in the christmas mood with its famous window displays oscar award winning actress nicole kidman unveiled the decorations on tuesday. more than ten thousand fairy lights seventy figures in a total of ninety eight motors bring the magical wonderland to life the department stores been staging its hugely popular christmas displays for more than one hundred fifty years. dennis has decided to ban large cruise ships from coming close to its iconic st mark's square on tuesday the italian government and venice is municipal government decided that the huge ships will have to take a different bridge. in the future they will have to talk on the mainland once and

he terminal has been completed environmental activists have been complaining for years that the ocean giants are destroying the lukins ecosystem. british singer rag and bone man is currently on tour here in europe this week he performed to some three and a half thousand fans in berlin. sitting in the same. time to say oh yes. i'm happy doing this size venue but i don't think i'll ever get to the stage of doing really really big ones because i thought you just lose that connection with an audience. rag and bone man shot to fame in twenty sixteen with this hit single human starting next week the singer will be touring britain.

now i always find it impressive when an artist can find beauty in things that are traditionally thought of as monday know even ugly ben wilson is a perfect example of that he makes art from chewing gum that is stuck to the streets his sticky sculptures are ephemeral as the local council eventually removes them along with the rest of the gum but until then they bring a smile to passers by. ben wilson gets down on the ground for his art london based artist pays attention to detail painting pictures of children gum he finds on pavement. the artist has himself become a celebrity and for thousands of spectators. ben wilson started out painting graffiti on advertising posters but that made him unpopular with the police. and through our where i'm not going to be arrested. and i thought our. space

which has jurisdiction over our core national government means that they are can happen anywhere because it comes over you and then i'm going to drive pre-trained swarming the chewing gum that's something which is the driver his designs range from landscapes to love letters armed with blowtorch acrylic paints and lacquer he's been creating art works on london's millennium bridge for the past decade. people here are charmed by the chewing gum art and often gets inspiration just from talking to fans or passers by. really. he says miniatures aim to be like the bridge they should connect to people. that's why his latest series has given him an a spectator's plenty to chew on this is a chewing gum picture which. the lovely or his i believe in the unity. of countries. and countries working together. is upset by what

happened to their embrace. sooner or later most of ben wilson's work falls victim to the city's street cleaners he has painted more than ten thousand pieces of chewing gum without earning a penny. but he does take a few of his favorite works home to prove that used gum can become a thing of beauty. great stuff well next up is a musician who is the same age as me but already has five grammy nominations to his name the twenty six year old pianist and composer tryphena of is a shooting star in the classical music scene and he's not resting on his laurels in october he released an album called cations and this month he has another record coming out which sees him team up with a german style violinist. this

is france too bad masterpiece the trout quintet showcasing on a sophie motor and of. the german star violinist first heard about the young pianist a few years ago. to me of a musical should have been one of the most significant. achievements in classical music when they're first. wanted to record. music i was incredibly happy. the cd features three other young musicians playing viola cello and double bass. i've always enjoyed chamber music but i do enjoy it more and more because it's much

more intimate a much more spontaneous way and it isn't and when we played the child now a few times and it was always different i mean that's great fun and an orchestra it's not that easy to be that fast. when it's charm who's excess and this. level of intimacy and. transparency and so that allows for. solutions. the tonal balance between violin and piano is especially complex in this lively piece. this is where done in truth and of recorded another cd this year featuring both piano concertos by frederic chopin since winning two major. petitions in moscow in tel aviv in twenty eleven he's been celebrated as

a star of the classical music scene. d.w. accompanied him as he worked with conductor mikhail platt now for documentary. kid the man on the stage. he's able to transmit. the song material to the hearts of people one instant that.

the twenty six year old is much praised by critics for his nuanced tone. i was sort of enjoying it all in such uniforms it's that important to have question and it's like a no no pressure down the case it's. so high it's sort of feel of emptiness of your fingers like a food is. as if it's there is no with us for it's being filled with some kind of agenda and there are no bones that it's complete in a flexible. with. octopus. octopus how it's. done the ultra phenolic has also composed piano concertos which he's performed to a claim in new york where he now lives. he can orient himself in the complex world of sound.

sometimes when you see like that it's like you but that's not it's really just like the right sounds. like there is for. nutrition off a genius on the keyboard currently on tour in the u.s. and europe. and a two part documentary and new show will be available here on starting in january it's time now for our architecture and design series your mac still looks this week we travel to sweden to visit a man who designed and built his own family home the end result is pretty impressive any actually seems quite humble about it as if everyone builds their own houses all the time let's head over to stockholm for

a closer look. welcome to. these i mean. this is the home of. his wife and their two children in san antonio no still called. it stands on a rocky hillside shaped by the last ice age alan did not clear in flatten the sign as many did yeah. it's more natural to adopt a house in a nature than. to a new bill. so if we had to take everything away with it i don't want we have to refill it and then. had to try to make a new nature and first of all it's expensive and it's also quite ugly. oh it's a furniture design and interiors consultant he designed the house with his architect

friends. comprises cubes and oblongs stacked like shipping containers. interesting him to try to build new things for instance in my daily work we produce for insurers and we always try to make some detail better or something thinner or stronger and if you build a normal wooden house in sweden. i can do it blind it's easy for four of the four to most people if you know how to use a hammer and a saw. will build the house with his bare hands and some help. the ground floor is open plan designed to be a welcoming space where family and friends can come together. such gatherings often

center on eating together so the long stainless steel kitchen counter is at the heart of it all. in sweden it's cold like six months per year so the house is it's a place where you meet your friends and if you compare it to like spain you go out and eat dinner with your friends but you don't do that in sweden of course you go to restaurants but you don't go to restaurants three four days per week so in sweden is very. i think it's very important to have a house where you can meet your invited two friends. stands at the bedrooms and bathrooms. i would not have the sliding doors if i may make this probably one more time because you can hear most of sound so it's too little privacy

for for the children and even for us and it works when the children are small but it doesn't work when the children are growing up and getting when they are becoming adults. privacies. allen should be gloss ten kilograms with the exercise he got carrying all the materials and building the house. it was a new experience not everything went quite according to plan. and color blind. i always had one guy with me we were we were always two willing because we always need to be two and the house have four colors i don't really know it's like four brown different. colors and we were painting. whole day were finished with this war in the afternoon my wife came in she said it's wrong color and i was angry with my friend because i said that i would go back and then he said

. that clearly didn't prevent them from finishing the colorful villa. and you can find loads more delightful designs on our you tube channel d.w. interior design. now we bring you another installment of our quirky color in every series indulging experiments in the previous days we've shown you a restaurant in amsterdam that serves nothing but avocados and ukrainian chefs preparing sculptures out of q what pork fat but trust me this might be the strangest idea yet at the restaurant the more bunt the food the better chefs about stem flunk love serving his dishes but to the crisp sounds strange but it has won him to michelin stars so we thought it was worth a try. me tom

toles a flame thrower hay from mt past and a hot plate heated to five hundred degrees celsius it's got. some guests are really bowled over by it and they say they'll remember the dish in ten years' time but others simply send the plate back on touched and say they can't eat it so you need this kind of this. cabbage blackened beat and samarium fish with a burnt crossed and a gravy made from scrapings. oh yes and leaked you know this isn't the result of some kitchen design or a fancy new technique but an old southern european cooking methods. like ups there's a there's a traditional roast cream we diced celeriac and carrots cooked them really slowly for over two hours almost letting them burn all the water had boiled off and the ingredients were almost black it was something completely new it no longer tasted

of character celeriac we decided we wanted to pursue this technique for the best young frank has been working in the restaurant torvalds for some seven years as the austrian born chef took over the helm in twenty fourteen the fifty six year old has been awarded two michelin fellows but not only with burnt offerings. in. the barbecue enables me to reduce the air supply and the temperature. yes i can put a lid on it seal it tight and then i can cook what's on the grill for several hours in the remaining heat exposing it to smoky romas and the like it gives me a completely different result than briefly frying something in a pan. of the bombing but what about a possible cause an agenda that can form during the roasting process. in my system if you keep your focus on this my i don't know how many kilos of burned food you'd

have to consume for it to pose a serious danger. if we're going to be exact about this the same thing happens with a fried egg it's protein forms harmful substances in the pan the crust is just millimeters thick and only accounts for two or three percent of the hull it's mainly serves as a protective shield for the taste inside which is intensified by three hours of cooking. with this very slow cooking method it's all about removing water production intensifies the taste of the vegetables or the fruit or in the case of the beets primarily the sweetness this contrasts with and beautifully compliments the smoky flavors. but when a burnt leak is concerned it's all about the way it feels in your mouth. you might have to hand some help to go for it so it's really interesting to say it feels dusty might sound

a bit negative but i don't mean it that way it's not like biting into a slice of burnt toast at home that tastes different of course this does have that dark roast aroma but it's very tasty. it's like barbecued. chicken and food stamps very well done. well next time you burn your toast you can call yourself a must a chef now all this week we've been asking you to send us a picture of your favorite ingredient and one of the entries will win this great euro max watch he is a selection of what you've sent in so far or elio figure two up from colombia loves korea and. from germany is a big fan of potatoes and vish veggie deposit thinks that rice rules. so keep sending your photos in and we'll announce the winner later this week that's

all from us for today for now. next time on your own max the world's possibly most expensive restaurant is on the spanish island of effect in sublime ocean beach course is an experience seafood is served in an underwater world and dessert revolves on a turntable dining here will set you back fifteen hundred euros per person the ultimate experience next time on your own max.
