to convert a former heat and power appliance into a club and designed the interior. but cameras are not allowed inside so no images are available. only for the rule is that. we actually try to avoid design that made. sound a bit silly but in this case we really didn't want to touch the building's original architecture any more than necessary if you have like it's big certainly had lots of surface area to work with you can find seating all over him and the people who go there should be able to enjoy it and still be surprised when the rule there is what happens inside braga and stays inside that. thomas cast and alexandra earhart are also a team in their private lives. they've got the name of the studio caught by abbreviating in combining their surnames but love to experiment. we've collected a really big story of materials here for it always depends on the project come but

a tradition that began in britain some 20 years ago participants wear caps like this one every year thousands of people compete in the races to raise money for charity the run in brighton post a new challenge for reports on next meryl and made a holiday highlight for our series. the. bronx and a beautiful city beside the sea just south of london it's well worth a visit even in winter. just before christmas some fascinating characters appear on the scene once a year hundreds of santas young and old come to town christmas in the u.k. is all but have a good time after all it's called a merry christmas and one of the quirky a customs during the festive season is the sun to run and the most beautiful one is quite possibly held here in brighton. although i didn't feel too good after the

race. but let's start at the beginning i've been up since the crack of dawn getting ready. of course today is just about taking part really but on much troubles i faced a lot tougher challenges than running 5 k. so today i think i'm going to try and win it even though i haven't really trained much or i don't for that matter but maybe my competitors haven't and well. a few people have actually been up and running before me they're even doing a little warm up race before the real deal kicks off in less than friendly conditions we are battling the elements we've had conditions monch wasn't nice it is writing the surface of barely on their bodies want to talk about it come back nobody advised me maybe to try anything without even trying to whip it well that would be fantastic how competitive it is that more just i think there's always people at the front that are going to want to wait a is not competitive with. a rock. people turn up their dogs with

a bug pushing the children in the buggies so it's just about i've been having a good time what you're going to bring up but i'm sure the child should a pretty fair every participant gets a costume one size fits all and i'm having a tough time just getting it all i'm fighting a losing battle with the women. the struggle is feel. at least i'm not toiling that alone but most runners here i'm looking to win. so 1st time to run then we should know better. on minute just to mikey to the end with all my colleagues someone that i would just get a guy for and say maybe half an hour and 25 minutes that would be a major victory and he got on a certain time you want to be or you want to be one of the monkey which is when you run tossing it. just here to have fun then i got my eyes on the price front of the queue set how.

i was a 450 people are taking part the 1st half of the race takes us straight into a fierce headwind on the way back the conditions for a fall festival i find myself neck and neck with super mario. there's not much left in the tank by the end but it's enough to finish 35th after hundreds of runners mind. i was really exhausting. i'm surprised the krypto along. the way there was so difficult we were facing the wind on the way back it all felt a lot better. to put to so much to do the time to run where there's no with. no chance of that in brighton i didn't get a win but the 35th isn't bad considering i didn't train anyway to the real victory 3 in the whole 1000 pounds were raised for the local children's hospital next time

i visit brighton i hope it's a time. you can find mark what's a customs like cheese rolling on our you tube channel. when you think of the alps normally images off hiking or skiing spring to mind but vent german photographer stefan his fellow goes there he's looking for something completely different he is fascinated by abandoned buildings so-called lost places his photos cannot save them from dk but at least they can preserve the memory. ruins in deserted places have always held a magical fascination for people. they make us wonder who once lived in them and what happened to them. stefan halfling explores places like this with his friend felix who said in looks

into their histories. of the sea from perfect here you can clearly see the roof has caved in the windows are broken its essence of the plaster is crumbling from the walls this is all together makes for some beautiful photos. tooth. built in the 1920 s. it served as a summer camp it's almost as if we can still hear the children laughing and playing who spent their summer vacations here until the late 19th seventy's. if most of them didn't i want my pictures to reflect what i feel when i enter places like these but there's a little scary i get a queasy feeling or hearts pounding i get a shot of adrenaline for that's exactly this feeling i'd like to reproduce in light and shade i want people to see that in the photos in the story they shouldn't even

leave rather have more atmosphere like in landscape photography shot discretional. carefully travels the world as a professional landscape photographer he brings back images like this one of the grand canyon and the jungles of hawaii many of his pictures have won awards he's widely recognized as one of the world's leading landscape photographers. heavily has been fascinated by abandoned houses since childhood he's published his discoveries in a book of photos. once splendid villas. first world war bunkers. hidden chapels. and factories where no machine has operated for decades. even when. he doesn't say exactly where he finds the abandoned buildings so they won't be

overrun by visitors. also many of these buildings are in decay and hazardous and most are hard to reach. stephanie heavily never works alone. its fight is not as often it might spread or to go in with someone he wrote i'm just photographing my landscapes if something were to happen or if someone broke afford or strained the ankle it's safer but i'm lucky that it's never happened to me no major injuries but it's better to have a good pair along i was able to help here. 33 year old stephan have filleted belongs to the generation of urban explorers who go looking for deserted and forgotten places and all he leaves behind him are footprints respect for these aging sites is important to him.

finding motifs takes some effort and detective work one of half allays methods is to scan satellite photos on the internet. postings from here you can see the place is abandoned and doesn't even have a roof. it can be just that simple if it's harder you can browse certain blogs on the subject then you can find out lots of those that still have an attack root center still nice on the inside and there's nothing more to see here or you happen to pass by you don't find something by chance. stuff and hopefully his photos document traces of civilization that time is gradually a raising. his works are a kind of monument to abandoned places. 2020 will see the $250.00 s.
