that's left in for a human being as the maker or creator account exhibition and bad as its title for except for that reason it focuses on european craftsmanship a sector which is made up of some fifty million people in europe but nowadays more and more of these traditional trades are being taken over by machines and working with their hands is no longer as valued or appreciated the exhibition will follow court's attention to this. then is has been a cultural hotspot since the middle ages now on the island of sun georgiou majority this city is funded psionic cheney is putting on a special exhibition devoted to the work of art is designing this entire old home of father on is the vast variety of european craftsmanship through the ages. we want to tell a story which is beautiful because it's a true story it's a story of

a man the maker this is the title of a far better someone an artist on the phone to the challenge of the hughes or her or her own parents can create a more human future this is the key message that we want to transmit to the young generation your talent can change the world. this show is not just about craftsmanship however it also highlights that in many instances humans are much better creating things than machines. each of the eighteen exhibitions spaces is dedicated to one specific aspect of european craftsmanship. there is one for example that is all about fashion we can see in the exhibition it's. about fifty objects of largely contemporary fashion that

have some kind of relationship to to craft but in different ways so it can be a special technique that has been mastered like leather tooling it can be the sheer number of hours taken to make a piece it can be like a skip it only suit where there are two hundred fifty thousand knots that are the decoration of the suit. from modern bicycle construction to jewelry making and so much more. overall some three hundred different. of traits on display visitors can watch most a craftsman and women at work as well as attend workshops and talks on the future of craftsmanship. and it's also a great place to meet and to see what's available in europe today because most often it's very difficult to actually

see and find and define the the know how that are available and so i think this is really a fantastic place to see all the different aspects and to meet all the different. cross and ships. nineteen temporary work spaces were specially built for the show which runs until the end of september her father is designed to inspire people to try their hand at making creations of their own who knows maybe it will even inspired some to become an incense themselves. it's not only traits that need to be learned to mastering a sport also takes a lot of practice today's edition of our series extraordinary a letter x. is a perfect example here in berlin a lot of tourist sites see on sec waste but that's not the only thing they're used for athletes have also found a clever way to use the personal transporter equipped with

a ball and people all over the word discovering segway polo we gave for a t w a reporter mike you could go one day to prepare yourself for a real game was it enough let's find out. holos has fought with a long tradition when it's played on horseback but what about on the second way what this person lacks in traditional makes up for in potential a good segue can cost as much as a polo pony for me here in hanover at the club supplies the equipment i have two problems i've never wrote before second i don't know anything about polo but to day i'm supposed to learn all that and they say it's no problem but. if i can play i've got a couple of things to learn in the workshop everyone here has got a lot more experience than me at least they can stay up if you can control everything on the segway by shifting your weight. speeds braking.

and turning. i have to develop the feeling for it and fast it's so easy to write if you start feeling too sure of yourself i guess. i'm not the only one. who. learned from the experts now to learn the rules of the game they adopted from normal polo by the way there's always a lot of green something smart and red something's crossed out what's this. this sport is changing and the rules change with it it's not finished yet. finding out what we can do better and when we do there's nothing objectionable about adapting the rules of play to accommodate it. but it doesn't mean we play it one way today another way tomorrow and completely different the day after tomorrow

. there are some three hundred acts of play as world wide and they are organized and the international segway polo association they are the world and you . ships. to the reigning world champions other teams can be found in new zealand sweden and the united states and silicon valley where the game was pioneered by apple co-founder steve wozniak the spot is proving a hit in germany. it won't be an olympic sport i'll say that much we don't want to get that big but we do want to grow we'd like it to get a little bigger. back to my workshop and need to have. twenty kilometers per hour but the risk of an accident should not be taken lightly and that explains why i've always made a phone rather pushing like this is not allowed you have to really hit it about

a metre ahead and then right after it for every time i think it's easy they say a break and. i try to play the ball correctly with my legs for at least as well as a couple of practice shots and we can divide up into teams. actually have to play. through. it else for your money ok let's go. on like normal physical contact with opponents is strictly prohibited but it often happens anyway. i imagine usually chuckles each eight minutes long it's always five on five i'm really doing my best. that was a goal. that was really cool that's going to be you know what's really hurting

right now your wrist because the bat is so heavy and you're not used to it. they are only short breaks moving maybe easy the play is not. i feel like i had wiped the whole gym because everything is aching now and my muscles a really hurting me. but i have to go to the next chapter of. the final minutes i just wasn't able to get back in stride any more and whoever claims that cyclical is not exhausting is mistaking some muscles. but hey i was there. on that as learning polo on the one day what are your thing mission accomplished or not that's what i go would you like to join our club i would sign you up immediately for the next world championship yes of course there are either. most houses are built based on the

square or rectangular floor but what do you do have the floor plan is try angular in sweden we actually found such a house with several awards constructed of glass the building is not only unusual but also a good choice for a serious your next to lux. a small town not far from sweden's capital stock. this is the spot. and. shows for their weekend hole the house is a real eye catcher. hello welcome to. the couple spends their weekends at the villa delta with their daughter ellen. it's a huge triangle made of wood and glass but why exactly did they choose this design . well it came natural actually from the architect to saw the ground and saw the

place. there was actually triangular. to put the house all so we decided that if we should get the size of house that we wanted he had to make it so that's how we ended up with triangular house. unusual architectural ideas always present a pressing challenge how to make it work in real life. weekend house has to be comfortable so is the village delta what they were hoping for. a lot better actually i could never imagine a room with this much light this much this closeness to nature this feeling of being inside or being one with nature while being inside i could never have imagined a room like this this spacious room the heart of the one hundred twenty square meter house only one side is a proper wall the other two sides are glass and interior design challenge. you don't have to have it hang in the pictures here because you have nature nature is

the nature of the picture and second. you want to put your photos you see in nature so it came natural to put the furniture facing nature facing the walls which is something you wouldn't do in a house with just locked walls the only thing missing was space for shelves. closets so the delta's architect turned a wall into a built in storage unit. actually we have more storage space than we have things which was an awkward thing to find out when we moved it we don't even have enough stuff to fill it we have some empty spaces actually. is triangular inside and out. like a large kitchen island made of a high gloss synthetic. and why the name delta. more than one reason. place of course the greek sign for

all the greek alphabet for the triangle but it's also float from the architect with me and my interest in aviation so it's adult off the delta airlines. now everybody's calling it the delta house because it's because of the shape on because they know me and my story so it's nice it gives the house a little bit more of an attitude. interest in flight is reflected not only by the house after an american airline company but also with a very special shape of one of the terraces. here so we needed a triangle triangle shape to make it fit with dolls and i immediately came to think of the concorde and its classic delta wing i mean it's such a such. iconic shape. so york you think they could make the exact same angle so we did it so it's good to be able to give back to your childhood
