who knows who knows where the office flags. maybe we should ask the artist landau elec from argentina his installation is called order of importance gammick wanted to highlight the fragile nature of miami beach which is located on a barrier island when it comes to witnessing climate change the coastal resort city could be in the front room. deals with. our relationship with environment and the car seat ses is a metaphor a symbol of what we are. capable of in time soft. as a suspicious us in terms of construction in terms of building manufacturing the cars symbol of freedom technological progress and mobility are stuck in terminal gridlock with nowhere to go. i think this is something

that goes beyond the the ego of the out these they think this world that some public space is accessible to all and hopefully. you know we. bring. some meaning to others the car sculpture is one of a number of public installations at this year's miami art basel that are going on display a few days ahead of the official launch. then a troll is a pioneer of alpine architecture bold in the mountainous region of south to roll in northern italy he knows better than most the challenges of building high up on steep bridges or peaks of standing projects like the experience along the border passed between austria and italy have attracted international attention his designs are straightforward indeed more like sculptures as he explained to us when we met

up with him where else but high up in the mountains of south. the 2 miles york pass the scene of hard and groundbreaking work more than half a century ago the high all pine road connecting austria and italy was opened here architect very natural knows how extreme conditions can inspire extreme feats especially when those extremes are in nature. in this magnificent landscape look around and you'll see everything's a sculpture and you can't respond to it with architecture all architecture fails so we try to respond with sculpture. like a great stone slab come to rest charles pos museum just saw it from the barren rock a 2500 meters elevation protruding into south to roll from austria it's a borderline experience in stone. i think is the architecture is always communication it's there to look at and to bring people closer to the land and make
6:49 pm
it comprehensible for example when someone walks through this building and looks out from the other side of the view they get a very different view of the landscape here. and if they stand here and turn around in a circle it's not at all the same as looking at one perspective through a picture frame so to speak in this way they experience the landscape more intensely. then our children. guards the mountains the way a movie director might. in fact the south to role native originally wanted to study film directing. he calls himself a minimalist even if the feelings involved are monumental. i think joyce architecture is emotion pure emotion there's one single idea one single concept to a building and it shapes every last detail that.

has designed 6 truck chairs for the tamils your experience as it's called along the alpine road. another of his projects was dedicated in autumn 2018 on the south to raleigh inside the tamil transit museum it was a revival of a historical building. we were dealing with an old customs office building from the 1960 s. that's how it functioned and now it functions just as well as a museum but it's hard to speak a functioning. i'd almost rather say form follows landscape landscape. the architect avoids putting up entirely new structures he's seen as a master of revitalization his work on sigmund. made his name far beyond south to roll his futuristic concepts have also drawn widespread attention. completed one of his boldest projects in 2017. he built his own private residence high above

where he was born and. the landscape is the star here nothing architect. and feel if you make a mistake it's your own fault. for someone else you can't experiment with certain things that be a problem. so these are things you can try out on your own house. is heist they say the craftsmanship suffers on your own house some things never quite get finished and. that's the case with these holes that are part of the concrete structure. i'm sure i'll think of something more artistic down the line to make them look better and seal them up and he said. you know you always see your own mistakes you never achieve perfection you can always come up with something new and improved things and that's the motivation to one day really become a good architect so that's the dream home. in spite of his modesty very
6:52 pm
natural is trying nothing less than to alter the image of his home country with his architectural ideas. is quite a house he has now the creator of the machines you're about to see likes to call the living architect and i suppose this dragon behind me is a kind of architecture that moves it's certainly frightening from here anyway this is currently roaming the streets of cali. but the locals all worried about this stuff it's been built to entertain the style and people buy a 5th a company called la machine in fact it's such become quite a tourist attraction. a huge drag and it's rampaging through the streets of cali hissing breathing fire and it's here to stay so it's out to get a good look at its new layer and the people who live there but they need to be on
6:53 pm
the lookout this drag is a tricky one. to track and it's great to see some personnel so you can't hide the shower with my son wet from the dragon and wet from the rain in years but it's alright. the $72.00 tundra is 10 meters tall and 25 meters long after the show it'll be on display in cali starting in mid december it will make its rounds at the french port every 20 minutes carrying up to 60 grains souls on its back. it was built by the french theater group not a machine which specializes in creatures like this from. the dragon was built from iron and wood a few months earlier in the city of known to western france the project took some 2 years from the 1st sketches to the finished creation. it was designed by francois delos yeah the founder of the machine some 80 people work
6:54 pm
together to bring the dragon to life metal workers carpenters artists and software programmers and 1st i made a sketch sculpture used it to complete this wooden model so simply served as the prototype for the dragon of calais. then i had to be rendered digitally at. the dragon skin is made up of some 200 individually crafted wooden components. through. well the loss of that blue is a bit more vivid than this one feels. the symbol of the artistic ensemble is a giant elephant regularly takes a stroll around la machines exhibition grounds and no. visitors there can see and experience it along with several other mobile creatures that have been created over
6:55 pm
the past 20 years. back in cali it takes a crew of 17 people to execute and synchronize the dragons movements. on the beach as it is you stay in line orderly goalies. look out that never let up. farther it will be a bit with the majority of those the cars perfect. a pilot sits inside the head and controls the heads movements and the dragons facial expressions. are 2 more people who control the jaws the tongue is the eyes and ears settle back as pierre is responsible for special effects like the water fire and steam even doesn't there's another for the wings and one or the tail even
6:56 pm
if you know there's one person for talon $100.00 of the vehicle and one in charge of overall coordination for every minute that you might know you call them up with you so. when night falls the dragon really comes into its own. and by the next morning some people may not be quite sure if what they saw really happened or if it was all just a dream. sleep. finally the hollywood actor jeff bridges is turning 70 he's appeared in over 75 movies today perhaps the most iconic was his role as the dude in the con brothers' cult film the big lebowski back in 1998 so i leave you with some pictures from a famous dream sequence in that film happy birthday jeff bridges and dream all by.
