skylines up to just one book. saving space the c.j. five house makes the most of the limited living area. and core truths the photographer had just given him and his snappy shots. first up let's get to know an artist with a unique gift stephen wiltshire has an incredible memory and i think detail many artists set up the easel in front of the scenery there painting and spend hours studying the landscape but he needs just one look from a high vantage point in order to draw entire sky lines from memory we travelled to london and got to know a man with a remarkable talent. detailed and intriguing images of cityscapes from around the world have made stephen welsh a famous internationally. the

selection of his work is on sale at his london gallery. a drawing by stephen will chicken cost anything between one thousand seven hundred and two hundred thousand euros. really satisfied for my work because. they were going to do it my way. stephen bought it as a born and bred london and the city is a constant source of inspiration to him. he sometimes takes photos of views that speak to him but he draws in pains from memory. it's just so beautiful there are so i can see dear the london eye. the half of that county hall. sort of bridge and a bit of a. boy. back

in his studio with these still fresh in his mind stephen will tell begins join westminster bridge. i love to work another memorize it. scares me are hard work and love my job sometimes a. quick sketch of it and much for for a natural. but not going to be a detail this time it's just. for a bit of a quick sketch. a quickie sketch that is astonishingly detailed a true to life snapshot of the world as the on to seize it i think. to concentrate. really. memorized by my mind.

even though she was diagnosed with autism when he was three he began drawing when he was following his talent was immediately obvious when a series of oss competitions went on to graduate from on school and is now a celebrated artist and draftsman with an international reputation. i think i'm. drawing from like. doing the best now live to stop. stephen often takes helicopter trips over cities storing what he sees in his memory and recreating the view in the form of gigantic panoramas. here in mexico city he spent several days on a panorama of the city in full view of the public. around one hundred thousand

people came to watch me while his what all over the world. like new york has the best. place. to buy. it's a lemon plenty lots of places in a panorama of. this summit stephen wiltshire will be visiting los angeles one most easy to cross off his list. let's get you up to date with what's happening around europe and expressed we'll be finding out about a little piece of australia induced book also some music that hasn't been performed

for three hundred years but first here's a peek into a royal closet. in the city of all those screen moderator the second of denmark attended the opening of the exhibition the queen's wardrobe on tuesday that includes dresses handsome accessories worn by the queen at oficial engagements over the decades. primo greater personally selected the pieces on loan to the museum including some she wore a joint events with her husband prince henrik who died earlier this year. i'm asked by italian composer dani but his to petra lazy which hasn't been hard for three hundred yes was given a performance in amsterdam on tuesday. it was stitched together two years ago by a tele research as from a range of sources the mass in d.

major is believed to have been composed around seven hundred forty and shares a new sign typical ac who died at the age of twenty six. it's already being performed in belgium and italy and will feature in various upcoming music festivals across europe. on. the sewin duisburg germany has a new attraction for the first time in some forty years a baby wombat has been born there named a party that marsupial was only the size of a gun a bear when born and still unable to see wombats rarely reproduce in captivity it seems the unnatural setting of resume just keeps them from doing what usually comes naturally. the munich modern museum could take them all down and is moving with the times their current

exhibition features the works of powell cleave who is known for his highly individual style combining elements of expressionism cubism and surrealism to bring things into the twenty first century businesses are encouraged to use this lot phones to access an app called construct claim it enables you to transform photographs to make it look like they were painted by clay himself. these are genuine. and doing software. with the help of an app everyone can now create their own clay and take the influential twentieth century artist on a train trip a face or fancy. the idea for the app originated with who works in digital communications at the piano critic museums in munich. and of innocent i think we need to inject more fun into us we're always so serious about it everything to do

with our takes place on such an intellectual level and at some point we lose sight of the human aspect. either context is currently hosting the exhibition play construction of a mystery it's a spectacular show but as is so often the case it's not really attracting young people that's why i'm there shafer developed an app for a smartphone as a way to get power play to appeal to digital natives. of all the lot and i wanted to appeal to people's own creativity their works on display at the pew no taker out of reach so we wanted to give the public a chance to create something themselves they're getting it on the argue. the results can be admired on instagram. when it's a different way of approaching play not via the usual history reduced or his biography but via the work itself into the middle and you body that is it's.

even better the app allows called place work and the public's response to it to be shared all over the world in two thousand and eighteen social media is non-temporal past have public relations. as is that it is in there is a good advertisement for the museum which needs as much publicity as it can guess i'd call things. under enormous pressure to boost visitor numbers walk. in the boys up so we have to go where the people and these days that's on instagram facebook and twitter to tell. other museums are also allowing visitors to interact with beyond. my rembrandt project so rembrandt portray traveling around the world and even into outer space. but to social media it really pays to visitor numbers one of the filters of the pinout protects app is only activated inside the museum.

it's a way to get people to visit the museum in reality. they didn't offer to buy fords and once you're here you get to see firsthand what you've been looking out for the past weeks and featuring in your social media profile these are words actually exist and all of a sudden you've got a handle on support so in quotes because it. interacting with them helps you grasp them better it fosters your interest in the artists and their ideas but one question remains. where the public what would paul klee is a given how prolific he was in his lifetime he produced tens of thousands of graphics and paintings and was always interested in the techniques that no one takes now i believe he would have enjoyed the opportunities and creativity of social media dr fired him so isn't he turning in his grave because i have not.

well we stay in munich for our next reports where architecture students at the university of applied sciences are not only learning how to create new structures but also how to repair and reconstruct in fact there's a whole course that focuses on how to fix and restore rather than replace up cycling meets academia. mending something to make it work properly again restoring it these architecture students are getting to the bottom of the very essence of repair for them fixing things gives them meaning. they're motivated by a desire to understand how they work. granny's chest table was hidden under a table cloth for six months they're going to come and spend nearly every weekend working on it. deceptive tissue i basically restored the table completely that it's more than one hundred years old the number of which dried out so i fill them and

fix them and here in the middle i basically put in an entirely new chess board but i think is that. students taking a one semester course of it by munich university of applied sciences develop repair concepts. fixing things changes your view of the world. escapes me and it convinced i'm not concerned with teaching students how to solve the electrical cables and clocks before that whole do it yourself movement of getting things working again. i'm more concerned with sensitising students to better methods of construction. going back has written a book about repairs she says things are generally made so that if one element fails the entire thing fails she teaches people to change that. this is a slide guitar constructed almost completely from bits and pieces hanging around.

the occupy office looked on i had a broken guitar it stuck and this is it from a johnson guitar. i wanted to put it in a new context to make a slide guitar complete so i took totally different items like a pick up from a broken electric guitar and different broken things like these plastic bits which i thought of my parents' house was a good pull up or this piece of wood. and from them are made my slide guitar song about. more than thirty years the house down i think it's a kind of do it yourself which shop in munich has a cool system workshop space for people to make and with pet things. or if you don't need to buy anything new if you fix it because it's useful for longer you also get smarter when you repair things and i think that's really

important you get to the bottom of things and look closely at how something is made of it constantly it is this heirloom job once decorated the living room of this woman's parent's house the access was broken and elect missing to me just over fifty of easily to me it was simply important to have something to remember my grandparents died because they're no longer with us having and this will bring had a crack all the way through it so it would have broken in half if you told them it . the problem was that it had a very delicate marks up here so guns felix on its side and i wanted to recreate the most accurately as possible. the signal bush so i drew the ring in three d. i did so and shaped it with a milling machine and then engraved everything up here with a laser does all this i think of you it. three d. printing is revolutionizing repairing it's simple plastic threads are fed into the back and out comes the double of the original it's like a three d.

photocopy at. not so much busybody except for instance your conscious broken and you need a new leg for it you've still got through that intact unscrew one of them and put it in the three d. scanner and i just get this software that can capture that so accurately that you can basically print an exact replica of says i can and the insides also have. a ring on this coffee pot was broken. it was repaired using a three d. printer and all the valuable design objects from the nine hundred fifty s. can be used again i point out that since friend of mine recently said that repairing things as a luxury i think that in a way owning objects that can be repaired in the first place is a luxury they're valuable goods and we should be producing more of them. in the end it's about how we see the world and how we could see it. as a fantastic construction.

we had over to vienna now to visit another stunning structure as part of our ongoing series your max the locks this house also known as the c j five house is a modern low energy dwelling which is a true model for conserving space it also features a kitchen that mixes elements of deejaying and cooking a place to remakes your dishes and create a melody a flight. next to a block of suburban homes in conspicuous looking garage door. we call welcome to my home come on in the inside is a bright seemingly never ending room without dividing walls and enclosed by exposed concrete. and no one can see in from the outside an important factor for alexander gave part of me his this absolute at the moment i'm working an awful lot of it so

when i come home. i want to come home to somewhere with a red wine feeling you should be able to come in and feel relaxed it's somewhere for all the different pleasures in life. don't you lose. a few steps up there is the kitchen area the workspace looks like a deejay's work place. that was the idea and that's the inspiration for the project name c g five rather then d.j. from cooking j. . and since i really like cooking and cook very elaborately when i have guests i want to be able to keep communicating with my guests so i got the idea of building it into the landing. halls. every single corner here is you would a lived. this would i this we shot this we set out to create album functionality in a minimal space when you pull that up you push it in. will have more or less

everything you need. a little higher up there's a bedroom with a small suite bathroom. the bathroom has been sunk into the floor to save space. the owner loves the view from up here. i've got a few special things that you don't notice the windows behind me are built in such a way that when they're open the sun shines directly on to my bed in the morning i wake up bathed in sunlight and. from the bedroom a corridor or leads onto a terrace the roof is low energy house is equipped with solar panels. there's also plenty of space to relax outdoors. i treated myself to an outdoor shower to it's connected to warm water so i can shower there

once temperatures rise to forty. and agrees on this that the architecture means that i can sunbathe in the nude and then shower afterwards it's very handy with. the atrium can also be covered if required. the house is very versatile and has over one hundred fifty square metres of living space although it's only five metres walk. the cellar doubles as a private cinema and party venue but exam agave on his throne quite a few parties here and has already had to replace of like cars. with c.j. five on the edge of vienna outside it keeps a low profile but inside it's both elegant and practical.

well yesterday we brought you the insect whisperer and today we're featuring an artist who works with four legged models his colleagues may think he's bucking mad but the photographer and john year that him has chosen to focus his work on dogs he's probably the first photographer to ask his models to snack to the hots content . snapshots in the truest sense of the word when it comes to snapping up treats dogs can make the funniest faces photography. captures their greed and there are nice in his canine portraits. of i've always been interested in photography even as a kid. and he loves dogs but he doesn't feel he has enough time for a dog of his own several years ago he started working with a dog trainer. become a camera long and made photos of the dogs the photos gradually got better and it

was clear to me that i definitely want to keep doing it. today asterix is in the studio it's his first ever professional for tissues so the mixed breed hound is understandably excited. his task is to catch treats and look at possible doing as. well he's got the second part of that down at least. a little kind of fidgety is not staying or is supposed to stay the whole time. and quite got the hang of catching the treats yet. so asterix doesn't lose motivation assistance yet in a different tries to get him to relax a little. i wasn't trying to do this it's just that i have a good connection with dogs. and another try. there we go. his own offense asterix has stopped attentional.

but if you notice and i like the one where he looks like scooby doo oh yeah the one or at least to the side a bit he really does look like scooby doo their. queen. doesn't say awful yes adam has become more professional about his dog photography not just in the studio but outdoors as well he finds wolves just as fascinating as their dog cousins but since they're not the reason to photograph he's found a couple of hybrid wolf dogs. down here and the coyote some of his favorite models . are not gonna look good in that direction but looks good in that direction to. shoot with the wolf dogs always take careful planning since large open spaces anita's that the owners don't mind the extra effort.

he always gets a great shot like when the dog comes running up to the kind of brooding expression i'd never get such good shots myself and dubious. for that john's big success came with a series of goofy expressions. were so many requests so many people got in touch with me wanting photos like that of their dogs i didn't expect it to be so successful. charlie is an inexperienced model but is and is a confident i'll end up with a great photo of him. in this british photo is different and each has something special about it is bizarre nervous some of us not your usual sit stay poses. and of course john yet it does get his shot.

just one reality. where i come from we have a transatlantic way of looking at things that's because my father is from germany my mother's from the united states of america and so i realized fairly early that it makes sense to explain different realities. and now here at the heart of the european union in brussels we have twenty eight different realities and so i think people are really looking for any journalist they can trust for them to make sense of. them is not often i work at the w. i am a flower. yes i'm beautiful i've heard it before and it never grows old. i'm worshiped from my looks my sent my
