impulse leaves although by a long long it's not easy to go to another country you know nothing about the wife of i don't do this because we can't stay venezuela on the subway. constantly global news that matters d.w. made for martin's. in these mountains still wrong material is being extracted for day to day accessories belts. glasses and even shoes hard to believe well it's one of the fascinating reports we have for you today on the euro max and with that very warm welcome to this edition and here is
11:31 am
what else we have in store for you. perfect weekend i'll report american wheat is in what exams switzerland. perfect staging along artist uses landscapes as a canvas court inspiration. next year do you love big games will be held in japan no matter where it's healthy exciting question after the games is always what happens to all the buildings and stadiums that will especially for the olympics well after the love and games they came up with a really good idea a technology park for startups and maybe at some crazy designs to make it more attractive. in east london compact and colorful studios have been built in a massive structure that certis the international broadcast center during the london twenty twelve olympics the space used to be full of gigantic ventilation
11:32 am
systems and broadcasting now it holds twenty one model which spaces. gascons words for who can sprout an architect together with his colleagues he design the gadgetry. i think we are really keen to try and reconnect the area with it this past the olympic games were hugely positive for london i think for the local area but because of the level of development it happened. it's swept away a lot of the sort of local history and so we want to do this project as a way of reminding people about parts of the local history that they could be proud of. the bright colors used for this studio is for sun for example echo the practice of suites that used to be manufactured by. i just love how bright. you can literally see it from across the park so you look across the park and this is one of the ones that really stands out catches the eye i think it's actually when they
11:33 am
when they hear that it's inspired by a rapper they remember they can see this is from their childhood the founders of infinite session range another word space they're twenty five square meters studio cost seven hundred fifty euros to month which is quite inexpensive five hundred standing here the two brothers manage the production and distribution of alcohol free craft fair just the fact that our studio was designed off. the first perforated toilet paper factory in europe is like a funny thing that we can mention the first time anyone sees our office and it's sort of a great way of like breaking the ice with new kind of suppliers and customers and that kind of thing that come and see as. the architects didn't only joy inspiration from previous local businesses one studio facade commemorates and then you. usual landmark they used to be in the area. before the olympics. there's a very for a famous local landmark on the canal which was nicknamed fridge mountain. just
11:34 am
a few years it was europe's largest white goods dumping ground effect the giant pile of fridges freezers and so on and so we love the idea of creating a unit which was it was a tribute to that last monument. lieutenant's of the twenty one work spaces are as varied as the studios for scientists. makes includes a record label to music studios architects engineers and also designing. literature lydia rents a desk rather than a home studio. from here she manages the sustainable night with a label. she designs the collections in london and has the pieces made in italy. is very different from the other work in spaces that are being most of the work spaces of being the really big quite noisy quite loud and here if you like
11:35 am
a family so you go when. it's very colorful is in the middle of the park there are lots of nice events as well. these are thanks to house manager patrick scully his employer the tramper was hired by the technology park to look after the studios and its tenants. we can make beautiful spaces you can design amazing spaces you can have great views but ultimately the thing that makes the place tick make it last beyond me to try and prevent as a company will be the stories in the collaboration's and the network that happens for people interacting day to day growing their business to go. that's sure to be a. a lot more fun in these kind of cool studios than a great drab office is. staying in the british capital the london design studio kitchen theory hasn't quite decided if it's
11:36 am
a restaurant or a laboratory up to ten guests can try a ten course meal for one hundred eighty euros per person but it's actually quite scientific it's all about exploring i was since a re and psychological relationship with food. can sound effects add flavor to a meal can color and presentation influence our eating experience does enjoy our taste different around in the london restaurant kitchen theory menus are designed to please all of our senses each time we eat as a multi-sensory activity but it depends on how much mindfulness perhaps is going towards that kitchen theory what we're looking at doing is heightening people's sensory. enjoyment of the food drawing their mind towards the smell the touch the taste the sounds that they're engaging with and overall
11:37 am
heightening their perception of flavor and taste. the first course comes with headphones alongside a dish of jellyfish. just stuff you said is aware that many people find jellyfish disgusting because of their consistency it has more than a jellyfish kind of texture it has a kind of bite to it not something that my team and i discovered when we first tried it and it had a kind of safety crunch that well this is actually really really present. the sounds are played over the headphones are meant to emphasise the clock. it sounds a little bit like you're under the sea. but there's also lots of crunching like sounds eating a packet of crisps actually like you described and then when you eat it you can hear the noise is making when you're eating it but also in hoxton you know an. experimental psychologist charles trance works with chef use effect kitchen theory
11:38 am
professor spence is head of a cross mobile lab at oxford university and researches how effects can amplify influence and even deceive our sensory experiences too much testing in a science lab it's not like releasing sticking people brain scout's which part of the brain lights up you can find things out but it's nothing like a social. experience so we try to capture people in the wild as much as possible and here's where the perfect potential opportunity for that is a coming to a kind of intimate if unusual experimental almost dining experience does a mushroom dish taste more like it came from the forest when it's served on a wooden platter. out of the shell. do you only see the color red here because. back at the tasting menu. the main course squid resort calligraphic designs are
11:39 am
projected onto the table does that impact its taste intensity. the fact that your brain can't quite make sense of what it's seeing what's the food what's the and which was leading the other is kind of attention capturing say more likely to pay attention to what you're eating and by paying attention to what you're eating that's kind of the trick at work in a number of the dishes using the technology of the texture of the storytelling to really make people focus on the food by doing that that's likely to enhance the flavors that you get. but the big shot comes last with dessert. as ships were interested generally in this idea of emotional engagement through food how can you kind of engage people in a kind of stimulate one emotion that we thought was kind of underrated dining experience is. fear. finishes the need. to eat
11:40 am
a dessert with a shard even if it's made of sugar. and silver is really cold and it's made such a different texture and you get something very kind of hard as you can hear it does sound like the crunching of glass and i don't mind these here but definitely the first. the first mouthful was me but now that i know it's ok i quite like using it. which glass best brings out the taste of a look or. how to care about hairspray change our pleasure levels one thing is for sure those who dined at kitchen theory lead with a whole new awareness of how different sensory experiences come together when we. sometimes the passion industry is quite experimental too for example when you design us try out crazy new materials don't like this can actually be made into

a shoe do you want to know how they go look. these shoes on make with stone which flexible slate. typically made from. they belong to the sustainable next week brand is not shielded from munich sebastien teases the fourth found his family has been in the shoe industry for six generations but even for him working with stone was. one of them if you want to it's hundreds of millions of years old all natural and each pair is unique. technically speaking it isn't superior to leather because some of the shoes are a bit less robust so you shouldn't wear them in siberia at minus forty degrees celsius or they go but they're perfect for normal day to day purposes. the process of making stone flexible enough for making stones with huge blocks of marble.
11:42 am
using a special technique very thin slaps the saw one off which i then glued onto a flexible material. the method was invented by based company and. works with the flexibility of the spine as a life when i increase the money the stone becomes flexible if you make it very very thin. we're talking less than one millimeter thick and then combine it with something stabilizing the. roof of an issue that can be fiberglass or cotton fleece . either will stabilize the slice of stone and hold together the stone particles even when the slab gets bent to. the stone used then exposed to heat in cold alternately to make it even more flexible. but that process is a trade secret. by the end it can even be stanched. next issues there are also belts some. banks but their own limits to the usability.
11:43 am
when it comes to stone t. shirts jackets and such it gets complicated. we've experimented with those kinds of items but other materials offer different breathability and range of motion. it's also going to stay expensive and labor intense so it will probably stay more niche than mass market sebastian been looking for any again and again he had tested using unusual materials for shoes like you never made from tin the fungus a tree parasite stroll from the berry and austria. but also coffee. mill. and fish skin have whole been tested potential suit committee reveals. my father developed the first pair of compostable shoes back in the nine years of so natural materials have

always been a big topic for us to my good nowadays so much more is changing because people are more aware and that of course leads to more innovations in this area. natural rubber as soon as vegetable tend leva cool in cells even less prominent parts of cheeses shoes are mostly natural to and it's not as. the same ability is a must for us and not just the way the media is propagating that term down and the bottom line for us is that if it isn't sustainable you can't call it a quality or luxury product it's kinds of business we cannot hide because. it seems the best in teens will keep walking even if it didn't mean his shoes made withstanding. travel is a passion of europe next report of magen lee but she only has forty eight hours to explore certain european cities and often the best tips for a perfect weekend this time she was a resentment that song may geneva and the french speaking part of switzerland here
11:45 am
you will find a lot of what switzerland is all about mountains and water cheese and chocolate and a historic old town. this scenery is too good to be true and in fact it really is today snow is blocking my view of lake geneva. this certainly isn't this spring can be so unpredictable especially here in switzerland but i'm not going to let that ruin my perfect weekend. weather is a good reason to start my visit and the olympic museum lives on has been called the olympic capital since one thousand nine hundred four because it's home to the international olympic committee's headquarters. here at the museum visitors can learn the history of the games from antiquity to modern times. it's also filled with relics from past games including dozens of medals.
11:46 am
and show by he is responsible for the museum's culture and education programs i become associated with the olympics so long story and it started in one thousand nine hundred fifteen when. frenchman was the founder and came to the during the first war and he wanted a safe place to for the archives of the i.o.c. luckily i brought my trainers with me to test my athletic skills. from slalom skiing to biathlon training i'm certainly getting a good workout here it's nothing more. than the olympic museum is my culture to foreclose on. the sun has come out just in time for me to discover some of the city's other treasures a sixteenth century statue of justice watches over the plaster lap and the seventeenth century town hall. next time make my way up

11:48 am
tired of these views. no no never never because it changes all the time. because i've been working on the lake for thirty one years and i'm still always surprised since it will soon be this is my activities here for a perfect weekend in los on a boat tour on lake geneva. a visit to switzerland is incomplete without sampling the chocolate which is in a class of its own and i need a master of the trade olivier folks in his chocolate factory he also conducts special some in ours on the subject. but. how does one differentiate or tell the difference between first chocolate and other
11:49 am
kinds of chocolate. first of all there is the cocoa bean. it is the quality of the cocoa bean and about finding the best bean it's up to the next step is to produce. action a transformation of the being into chocolate and in switzerland we have invented several processes such as refining like with milk jugs of which is to stop just the reputation of the chocolate this is my shopping tip for those on some swiss chocolate. when night falls and those on some people go out looking for entertainment but i've discovered another interesting activity at the city's main cathedral calling out peak hour from ten until two hundred fifty three steps lead to the place where it all happens marco karrar is one of the night watchman he takes me to a small quarters to show me what his job involves. so

a nighttime landscape brightly shining geometric shapes they are not u.f.o.'s but brahma the worst of the spanish light artists have. ten years ago the teacher of fine arts put his brushes aside now he paints with lights we've met him at one of his installations literate. three dimensional sculpture holographic image these terms describe the light installations by had. geometric shapes of the spanish artist's trademark he projects them onto landscapes with astonishing results especially on a moment or so i'm always seeking these almost magical moments in my works you see in the you know i'm trying to find out whether there is a harmonious relationship between geometry and nature. you know something a harmony that would move us emotionally and which goes beyond our normal
11:52 am
perception of nature. riyad as career began in two thousand and eight with a large solo photography exhibition in the rain s. afia in madrid since then he's carried out like projections in numerous public spaces and festivals. his installations are more than simple entertainment for him. when there are sometimes i feel this sort of reverberation which goes beyond our daily perception and beyond how we normally experience nature seymour's thought it was then this out of those moments are precious and very fulfilling for me is. beneficial i even go so far as to say i live for these kinds of experiences. bebo but he said the bowl experience is. elemental tranquil and any magic that's how the artist
11:53 am
experiences unspoiled nature he tries to make this sensation visible and his projections and takes large scale photos of the results. and enough. at first glance the viewer sees these two crosses the two deaths as those cool things but they are actually part of a cube the corners of which i've removed. the guess who will last a skin us but there's a shadow of that cube in the viewer's mind. and in a similar way there's an enterprise between the projected form and make sure you know. after finding a landscape d.n.r. starts designing his geometric forms in his madrid studio they follow strict mathematical rules he wouldn't think of using image editing software to superimpose them on a landscape photo he works on site. your syndicate go on the old boy going
11:54 am
to remember me the right geometry compliments the place. you can't do that on a computer but when i finished a geometric form it will look like there's a key to another dimension you can't get that effect on screen and you have to be in the place and experiment with the shape on site. yesterday mental physical and. d.n.a. usually works with standard projectors which in ranges and adjusts in his studio to test out his projections on walls. this gives him a first impression. but about a water of course us i'll prepare everything as thoroughly as i can but then when the distances are much further everything might change. sometimes the image on site looks completely different compared to new york. tonight conditions in the
