building itself stood for a new kind of architecture functional and unadorned the principal form follows function the result revolutionary ideas that transcended the boundaries of design painting and architecture powerhouse buildings can be found all over the world as here in tel aviv and our house furnishings are now designed classics. this folding chair was designed in one thousand nine hundred twenty seven and those in the know where i recognise it as a classic by design our. aunts at first glance this chair also looks like the original but look again until you'll see it's been given a colorful revamp the foam remains the same but the fabrics been papped up to celebrate one hundred years of powers a german furniture maker is giving these souls design classics and you and can

a full look. this is van to be a says director's chair from the one nine hundred twenty two twenty three. and here's its twenty eighteen reinterpretations. this is a perfect blend of the table from one nine hundred twenty four. and here's the twenty eighteen edition. bauhaus now house presents design classics from the bauhaus school in a new look. these are the works of german furniture makers christiane to russia. i devote as we didn't want to put our house originals on a pedestal and view them as the museum pieces that they often are today let's stay quite the opposite we wanted to take them down from the museum pedestal and bring them back to life. and that's why that's our goal because we make furniture. so we got together with young designers to show this ball house furniture in a night light the balls move in noiseless. christiane the pressure is an expert
11:34 am
when it comes to bauhaus furniture for over forty years his company has been reproducing classics from the one nine hundred twenty s. . strictly according to the original designs. one of the main principles of the house school was form follows function so every piece of furniture is suitable for daily use but that's not all. that's then this these are more than a regular piece of gear on a trial the movie they're not just ordinary sofas and chairs was there for spirit and somehow they transport and exude that. craftspeople and designers work together in the tech to workshops in the town of lower saxony. it's a work process that was also practiced by powerhouse founder. basic idea of reuniting art with technology art with crafts was at the core of the
11:35 am
powerhouse spirit and school of thought that thinks one of those balls was and it was very important to the results produced by the school. and many of the classic pieces have now been reinterpreted by young designers for about house now house. based designer cutting dryly tackled in a fifty one vote to go p.s. this director's chair. all sort of about the challenge was how much or how little can i do to this chair so that it remains true to vote. but at the same time is recognizable as a new interpretation from twenty nine thousand once. using new surfaces and upholstery created six different versions of the chair. they still look modern say day and for her that's proof that house designers were far ahead of their time.
11:36 am
and it's nice amazing to look at the collections from a century ago but they were full of strange and utopian ideas which never became socially acceptable now you know just so what. if i took a look at us and the others made back then in an ordinary house. in them and their minds holes. in this one hundredth anniversary year of its founding about house designs still have the power to inspire. jennifer. a month from berlin creates fashions which pay homage to the design school. german croatian industrial designer constantine creates bauhaus inspired pieces. and austrian label noise about what i wear has dedicated designs for sunglasses to architect. and painter. furniture maker believes that the current popularity of bauhaus classics is more than just a recurring trend. the movement furniture is timeless as were the other things that
11:37 am
were created there and the architecture. but what really excites us and spurs a song is the spirit of this school of thought. whether bauhaus or no house whether from one nine hundred nineteen or twenty nineteen these pieces of furniture only reveal their true age at second glance. in today's show we're focusing on architecture and design and in our next report we have the top off a very special structure that in no way is the world's tallest wooden high rise because skyscrapers anomaly with concrete and steel and this friend here tim a construction is an architectural might still. the wooden high rise on the shore of lake muir in norway valley has eighteen stories and a speedy five and a half meters high it's the tallest wouldn't building ever to be built worldwide.

the project was the fulfillment of a personal dream for developers. is possible. to make it. complicated buildings. beliefs and how to reduce c o two this is sixty percent lower. than. you think clearer and clearer so it's healthier both for people but also for the nature. life has an apartment on the fifteenth floor. clearly enjoys being surrounded by would.
11:39 am
like this i feed the birds you can smell the birds all the good you see makes. doing something with you so i think it's more like this let me see concrete right so you feel that the building is living actually with you. it took years of pioneering work to make the wooden tower impermeable to wind and weather. it was designed by fall i detect and move a company specialized in temper construction. project coordinator. ventured into new architectural territory. we have never done anything like this before so it was always about believing that it is possible a lot of hard work and a long night to try to figure out how can we do this the biggest problem. lightness of the material so all the force of the external force as they will try to tilt the
11:40 am
building or shift it. to load bearing columns had to be something deeper into the ground than usual. proofing was never a major issue the thick wooden beams can withstand a blaze even longer than steel another factor behind the trend in building with timber. eighty four meter building under construction in vienna is also not afford for joe francis building in. entire development with the eco friendly material and architects in london are planning a three hundred metre tower made of oak. i think it's a symbol of the green shift we have a mental to think about and using timber. friendly methods of building. for the future not necessarily tall buildings but every building who can use that. the wooden high rise also offers a hotel and conference rooms. the higher you go
11:41 am
and the more you sense the wooden surroundings. residents of the upper floors have to get used to the creaking in the swing of the timber be. in this area i would have i think you can feel it a bit more like you think you feel it. it's material so i think you will hear something and that's normal and. so far wooden high rises remain the exception but the musa tower is a good example of what apartment buildings could look like in the years to come.
11:42 am
there and with that. this plastic bottle has served its purpose now its trench every year more than three hundred million tons of plastic and up on the garbage heap but some people are looking for ways to encourage us to reduce this problem one project by greek architect and through the design a panel sac us doesn't just aim to make us aware of this problem but also helps to brighten up his city and the project goes by the name of print your city. plastic recycled into a new form with a new function. the seating elements in the greek port city of thessaloniki are part of a project called print your city. plastic waste disposal i called this furniture from a three d. printer. the idea came from the dutch design studio the new rock panel suckers from greece is one of the projects founders. plastic is a mis understood material which is it's not the material that's the problem it's
11:43 am
the course and how we use it packaging for example yeah but i did my skill as it might only be used for a few seconds but it never degrade so i could not but you know if we use it in some other way later we can change things and improve our lives. this is precisely what kano soccer's hopes to achieve with the project. is the guy who designed the furniture to allow people to experience public spaces in a new way with different last years. rather than sitting right they can relax a bit more if they were sitting in their own living room. this is the feeling we'd like to put across these and bring private living space into public spaces and the fundamental the most. anyone who wishes to participate can suggest designs online or select pieces of furniture from the various templates the ones that are selected most often go into print try to save the earth and i was so happy when i was
11:44 am
walking through town one day and saw that a bench i had designed had been printed and then it's there for everyone to think you know the others that you know. as soon as a new design template goes online the amount of recycled plastic needed for the three d. printing process is calculated automatically. at the zero waste or research initiative of the new raw people in fessler miki can find out about recycling and deposit the plastic trash cleaned sorted shredded and melted down. personally i don't like to just throw things out at all besides i think we ought to have a responsible attitude toward our planet. after all we use its resources year by year. it takes about seventy kilos of plastic and ten hours to make a park bench from a three d. printer.
11:45 am
none of the colorful seats of already been placed around saloniki center and more planned eventual is the idea is to spread them all around the city. the combination of recycling and design is proving a hit with the locals and visitors alike. it's very impressive to see that you can transform waste into something a static in this way you know not everyone can enjoy it and said here with their friends it's a definite gain you people there's nothing negative about it because. the printer city project was launched in cooperation with the city of salonika the younger generation in particular for the target group. we're going to keep it going we've already agreed to place more furniture pieces in other neighborhoods. i think it encourages a new culture and approach to issues like recycling zero waste production.
11:46 am
among young people. and if the park bench is ever fall apart simply be recycled if it's a good idea and a sustainable one. and today's show you know max is focusing on and paul is studying architecture so you could say that already makes him a bit of an expert he says we live in a world that is great and drop and as a keen photographer he shows us how somebody can look. she just at a splash of color. grey reality becomes colorful urban fantasy geometric the sods are canvases for splashes of color. photographer and architecture student ice transforms the often plain structures into genuine i catchers. so many buildings don't get seen because they've been simply painted grey
