it's something you've never seen before and that's when they're going to need is in hot. at least not quite like this. these figures naked in the innocent are reminiscent of cherubs from the works of barack master peter paul rubens. but with an irreverent plasticine quality. motion designers play with centuries old themes in art history. like humankind's eternal struggle for unattainable perfection. these bizarre animations are created with computer technology and special software each movement is meticulously calculated for a mouse and animation programs replace paint brush and canvas the cut off in five

a popular travel destination and for the much have fun and so graham and that's why it fits perfectly into all serious europe's famous landmarks. anthony gowdy useless i got a funny at the basilica of the holy family is one of barcelona's best known landmarks what has been in progress on the church designed by the cousin an architect for one hundred thirty six years show differently is the seventh in a series of architects who visit seen the project since god he's dead he's been leading the work since twenty twelve. started back in one nine hundred ninety when the head architect or now to commission me when i leave because there were four of us back if there was no others close to fifty of us working on

the site that he would. when it's finished the media should look like this it will have eighteen spies and three facades. to go deal with all the construction for more than four decades until he was hit by a tram and killed in one nine hundred twenty six after his death architects from all around the globe continued his life's work a foundation raise the funds as a church of a child meant the work is financed exclusively by donations and entrance fees neither the spanish government nor the catholic church contributes financially none the less each year some twenty five million euros a raise towards completing a vision. he. started to use a crowd of familiar completely unconventionally. up to get out if he built a church in parts. for the first part was not the foundation of the interior

name but if you gave him a step he and his workers erected a literary facade as a symbol of the afterlife so to speak but a high level one wished to buy the. critics have to ride in the overloaded symbolism. of the exterior but anyone who ventures inside the church is surprised by the light airy feel of its modern gothic style. was an intuitive architect his ideas often developed as he worked and he left new blueprints for his successor so. most of all if you will our goal is to finish the project in a way that corresponds as closely as possible to until we got these ideas that's why we've got to study to few documents that he left behind in great detail to make use vision a reality of. the second that a familiar is parsimonious top tourist attraction and an important income generator

more than three million people a year come to the cattle and city to see the church and of course lots of snapshots or take your maxfield center for their picture. is very spectacular and you would see them like the shoulders rather familiar to our kids and i think it's very very attractive here in barcelona yard live it's one of the most beautiful things in spain in and in barcelona it's a pretty spectacular piece of art and it's of architecture and we're just passing through for the day so we had to come and see it while we were here we had to come and see what it was all about. i think this a gratifying media is a must for everyone who comes to spain especially if you're a loner it's a must say i bite it's a landmark i think a lot of people only come to barcelona because of the socratic familia. but views

among the locals differ the hordes of tourists who flock to see the church have changed the neighborhood souvenir shops and kiosks are forced out many local businesses. and there's another thing that worries residents back when construction started to. building site was in the middle of a field now the surrounding areas completely built up and some of the buildings will have to be torn down to implement go to use original plans for a problem not in front of the main for. you didn't think it was almost if you knew if the building is so well known that of course people are going to have differing opinions about it all go by those who know the finished church which eighteen spiers will be a fantastic architectural eye catcher just by virtue of its different visual axes the steepest didn't used to be disobedient. the target date for finishing the project is twenty twenty six just in time for the hundredth anniversary of god

these days. but even in its unfinished state the church is already one of the best known buildings in europe. i want one of the most photographed there also have a picture of yourself at those i got it from media or do you have a snapshot at another landmark let us know and i'll blow your image on our websites just go to d.w. dot com says livestock they are find more information about our contest in which we are giving away a lego manager of the eiffel tower so join in good luck well the next building was also a construction site for a long time but unlike the site not a family of the house near the academic in iceland has long been completed the bungalow from the sixty's was conceived as a plain square concrete house but a make over turned it into a desirable modern home we turn out for a visit in our serious your max deal.

his that he's. the spacious open living space with many small cozy corners is a new feature. that includes a teeny corner in the heart of the house. an office space in the rear. there was a room with a fireplace on the lower level. the furnishings are a mix of souvenirs and functional furniture when it comes to interior design other places great importance on quality and continuity i think it's good to keep old. pieces also. for the past for the memories of the past you have. as three hundred forty five square metres of indoor living space. remodeling instead of building a new prove the right decision in addition there is the newly designed outdoor area
