11:45 pm
the artist to satisfy it and so is the ministry which audibility other than my got more bizarre work on it for two months come rain or shine. the weather this year was awful. but she did a magnificent job and made this. wonderful image. we're all very proud of it. that doesn't mean so real this putting their feet up she's now fearing for a major so to show such an open hearing on since. it's a farm cynthia just found this paint is left over from the mural. it helps i really like to use stuff up in my i don't make sketches but i do sometimes do tasks or practice runs. these are shapes that are flying or swimming they're relatively organic. i'm on a quest here to delve into the subconscious. it was through the parents who keep.

all these studies where they painted all etched into glass drafts for large scale projects. reykjavik is sorry. and she's left a mark here in the form of over ten merrill's. iceland is harsh with it takes its toll though. it's not as if they're meant to be there forever. that's one of the great things about graffiti and street art it's there for a while this is a few years. and then it starts to disappear for spending. as well as murals are a real pain draw creates installations and video and designs book covers and records. she's exhibited and worked in the us china canada japan germany no way belgium and iran.

couldn't touch with four hundred fifty five horsepower it's more of a rocket than a car it belongs to the curator himself that's all to us we his this version of the car is a somewhat later lamborghini contact each when it was unveiled in one nine hundred seventy three the shape was more refined. with what the market started demanding cars like this after ferrari set the trend with a slightly meaner and more aggressive look then came the turning point when the anniversary model ferrari testarossa had ribs and it looked just awful you couldn't be seen in public with it for this one is a cult car now the other one isn't. p.s. i'm love you this style icons in this exhibition dazzled with their elegance and panache. some even smile.

and staying in the country would take a sneak peek into someone's humble abode now in the early one nine hundred sixty s. architect page and noise that designed a modern structure in the western german city of cologne that is still an eye catcher today and the architects daughter who now lives there was kind enough to let us in for a look around. german architect painter noyes should name his house in cologne x. one. city curator thomas van that is visiting noise for its daughter art historian nicole down there sitting at the bar which still looks exactly the way it did when it was completed in one nine hundred sixty two. this is actually the center of the house we called it the bar and he used to be the office to this was the meeting place this is where all the books are it's where we look things up or and it's also
11:52 pm
where the party started on. when her father showed the plans to his father who was also an architect the reaction was muted. on how sort of he couldn't stoop to making a compliment i've been told that all he said was yes to go do it that way too that was it. these are all her father's designs inside and now the table he built and piles the box the parts are for storage outside there for rubbish down. inside their home to kitchen appliances the veneer shows a smiling face that attests to precisely carpentry the veneer ceiling is also ornamental. the door to the bar is made to measure to latch into assault from the rhine river the house is full of surprises. them that's not an issue
11:53 pm
that's kinda we had free run of the house of course when we were kids and of course there were spots we could go through the walls where it was open in some places we could go around the walls and the doors were cut to fit. i would have liked it better if we hadn't been made to keep it so tidy. to clean up when visitors came to ensure the house looked its best but today i actually wouldn't do it any differently. it's a house that's chock full of technical details. doesn't chalfie did the deed money for heat there are things that you always emphasized the blue wall and the way the stones are placed when it comes to design or architectural questions i still always ask could we use a different material can it be wood. can we have it manufactured.
11:54 pm
and it opened up my view on materials. that house is visionary. isn't against more of one form the also it represents quite a new form of living and sort of an american dream of a life and now it's geared toward space and by its nature that floods the house with outside becomes inside and inside becomes outside only the street of glass separates it but it doesn't really it's what gives this house character. it's so unusual that the planning authorities did you want to issue a building permit back then the leader of libya your son used these very stressed concrete is material that's used in civil engineering for bridges and large industrial structures just here pre-stressed concrete is being used for residential building the ball back then that was something really extraordinary that
11:55 pm
pre-stressed concrete was used for building a home. we're talking very very early back in nineteen sixty two and that makes this structure so exceptional. it's absolute. house x. one by peyton oyster is a nine hundred sixty s. architectural icon. and with that it is time to say goodbye now don't forget to stay up to date on the show on our social media pages or on our web site well as always from me and the rest of the crew here at euro max thanks for joining in. on the next edition of euro max we head to the north sea coast where the new more than nine national park is home to a song launch between the title shots and. the wetlands are habitat for many animals and plants once the breeding season is over the park is a popular destination for hikers and nature reserve next time on your own maps.
