oh common ground is empowering women giving them rule making them an agent of change. in the female peacemakers stories journey where we sit and talk to me. just saw on a catcher in a come pranita i'm an architect and designer and i make uncomfortable objects of. everyday objects that if you can be sure don't work i have searched but i'm using just one of our topics on today's show let's see what else we have for you.

on those i know street fashion inspired by fox and. how it was made of course eco friendly and poland trends. when you take photos of food you want to get people's mouth watering but one spanish photographer is targeting different emotions and her image just make us take a closer look to cleverly composed works of art rich in color and whimsical ideas food still plays a key role but not as you might expect. split up the word breakfast and this is what you might end up with. these images are from tessa domingo's photo series break fast. the spanish photographer takes food. the nord know your objects and uses them to

produce extraordinary pictures. if you need any that last 3 words and used to describe my work as a single. particular vehicle and up said. of sort of. efforts result in sue real compositions like an egg being shocked with ammunition. pancakes cooked with an iron rather than a frying pan. today tessa doniger is taking photos to advertise a shopping mall in madrid as the campaign's creative director she has to produce for images that will grace posters and appear on social media only because photos have little in common with classic food photography. i do when they are ok sit up straight and show how much you like the shoe.

that will go on out there in my kitchen is the food usually looks a little out of plain sportster as eve never seen it before in a way as. they get out of iraq which is it's been taken out of context and they say it overtly staged. for a while here we have a model i you know i know fashion and a campaign there that deals with it but in a playful way. discovered have a passion for photography and film while she was studying art in 2015 she founded her own agency she shoots commercials and produces for 2 series for magazines. national colors and minimalist composition are her trademarks and food is her favorite subject sometimes eccentric sometimes provokingly stage the biggest challenge is to make it look fresh and perfect. while the model is being starved for the 2nd photo. goes in search of

a prop for her next shop a perfectly friday. as the photo studio has no cooking facilities she gets some from a cafe nearby. was one of those 3 those eggs trouble with friday is . they try a fostering to see the fish here i can take one with me knowing tough to that freud right he must i mean i don't know what i should be able to work with them for now i'm maximum you see you know if not i'll have to come back. it's all a matter of improvisation. we're going to i have the x. out with some luck i won't go to them on the one thing i'm. back at the studio tests against the friday ready for its close up the main focus is on the egg yolk which she tweaks with such a cool precision. in mankato well for a photo of the perfect is one that shines as

a nice color and isn't overcooked the much i'm going to forget of course we edit the pictures later but in general the glossy and fuller the better. and just photographing the sun which would be too simple instead of the yolk is transformed into nail polish because i'm usually stories are guaranteed to attract attention. a mechanistic us i guess that's a casing pictures are a dime a dozen i see incidents full of them that is that you know they are so a lot of you know today everyone has a smartphone and takes photos. so it's become harder to tell a funny story or set yourself apart from the crowd around. but the respect 1st lunch or dinner to sedona those photos will leave you hungry for more.

this year germany has celebrated 100 years of bauhaus but it's a copious found of the world famous school and gather together some of the most creative minds of us time the idea has had a lasting influence on design in architecture worldwide even. the school was closed down and 1933 but that didn't stop the ideas from staying alive to this very day and fashion designers here in germany also pay tribute to bauhaus in their collections. simple elegant modest that's a good way to describe fashion. my into and. my approach is more minimal and uniform definitely symmetrical clean straight lines right angles. and that's my thing that's. the fine designer gets her inspiration from powerhouse principles such as

minimalism and functionality her line is called our housemate and she's already released 2 collections but she doesn't see herself as a traditional designer creations are far more the result of cooperation with freelance artist and graphic designers like projects. doesn't. there's an app you go for these are street signs here's a turn arrow this is a stop sign and here's a city marker for weimar because. the graphic artists came up with them without my input from you i just told them the basic concept the parts because it's for a sweatshirt or of us and then i gave them free reign i kept pretty much out of it otherwise it wouldn't be a cooperation. the sweatshirts were produced in blue yellow and red bauhaus is classic use of primary colors. and lives and works in via the heart of the bauhaus movement which is still present in the city 100 years later the designer

gets her inspiration from her surroundings. bauhaus isn't just a cultural movement from the past it's still relevant today. it's a breath of empathy. and complex the world is getting more crowded and more complex for all of us and i think for some it's easier to be surrounded by things that are more straightforward and clear to. even think you're going to get us and it's a kind of return to simple things simpler. minimalist design and linear geometric shapes the fashion creations by jennifer brahmana also follow design principles laid down by the bounce house architects brahmans berlin label brings together her 2 passions of architecture and fashion that i started. because we already in the composition of the clear principles and approaches nevertheless allow for many different variations. from my takes elements from conventional

clothing and combines for me not unusual ways she's a regular at the pressure portent shows in paris. and of her founded her high fashion label in 2012 she regularly designs and for sense collections under that name. her son was born in 2016 prompting the designer to step back from the fashion world. but she began designing clothing which she describes as wearable bauhaus. she avoids the pressure to present a new collection every season instead smaller lines appear as a regular intervals. it's kind tent says that you know this is not a trend. it's an essential form language and a certain attitude towards design in fact a life. it's about doing without excess. of too few.

it's a philosophy that starts with the 1st design right through to the handmade completion and a goal of places importance on eco friendly methods and sustainable materials as well as. what conditions i think this is most this is in no mood to funk use is also something that connects to a house and it is money. but you take into consideration the fabrics and printing process as you use them if they would prefer coming. so i don't receive things are intertwined this and getting ready to go in my car. on a go is carrying down house principles into the 21st century with fashion designs that reflect the functionality minimalism and sustainability. design is of course a major topic on our you tube channel and let's see what else you can find there.

want to learn more about european lifestyle and culture. when you come to. your home and. take the plunge. when. labor cuisine joined the race to strong. euro. subscribe so you don't miss it. now let us take a look at a few products that you are guaranteed not to be able to use ever great design a cutting a come conny came up while other designers want to make our lives easier and more beautiful she swims against the tight but why does she do that we went along to find out. something's wrong here how's anyone supposed to water flowers with this can or sweep with this broom.

how can you take a pot off the stove with both handles on one side. or heat with this fork caterina come probably makes everyday objects unusable or so course my intention is to make people laugh but i think there's a 2nd level i'd like us not to take these things all around us for granted when i get on my ass they were designed to code into certain mess and break these rules do you learn to appreciate them again a woman of about 6 or so that we should always think beyond our own limits but up bottles. caterina works as an architect in athens whenever she has the time she works on her design project uncomfortable. her collection has now grown to include over 40 objects. some of them have been used in advertising campaigns. the off the wall concepts have gone viral on the internet and caterina is working

on more uncomfortable design objects. here she takes the arable nomics out of a toothbrush. but has a humanist must look at what's most important is to pick a suitable object that has to be something that's easy to use and that we take for granted because we see it every day but that of all sin is for dozen of them then i think about how i use this object and i sabotage one aspect of this you see my. small business i can come up with several different ways to do that and the one that makes me laugh the most while i'm sketching it out on the ground is the one that i developed having a bar there are absolutely 00 in a game left in the paper what i'll. caterina also gives workshops to teach others how to design and usable things and delight in the many useless ideas with the participants. super lit up after this workshop course began seeing certain objects

with lots more humor. that it was really entertaining and liberating to be allowed to think in this direction. in daily life it's not possible because things are more serious normally everything has to work and be useful. is the guy. arena has exhibited her designs all around europe. our workshops are also small exhibitions of her uncomfortable collection. on this project be uncomfortable came at a time that was very hard for me or uncomfortable i wanted to become a designer but with the economic crisis in greece that was uneasy so i decided to become an uncomfortable designer of the project was an expression of my situation. beyond comfortable project continues as caterina company constantly finds new inspiration for unusable i.d.'s.

when you think of the great heroes in the history of mankind who do you have in mind probably a man and of course there are some women to a game developer from poland wanted to celebrate them and has adapted a classic game to do so now girls and young women can use again to get to know female role models and heroes. author j.k. rowling artist frida kahlo and tennis serena williams. in the game. they share the board with 25 other women. these include famous and not so well known figures from the past to the present. polish designers because she rock came up with the idea. with the help of

a small team she began developing the game in 28 teen at her workshop in warsaw. the basic idea is so inspire little girls and show them that they can do anything they want with real stories of are women from all the time. it's a game for 2 players they ask questions in turn and try to guess which woman their opponent test shows you the 1st player to guess correctly wins you ask questions about everything about any information that's going to find on the board so about their accomplishments about their life about where they come from about anything that you can see there you cannot ask about their looks so there is something it's forbidden. that rule was important for zosia as a mother she has found that even her young daughter is often judge solely by her appearance. i was on the playground with her and i was like

what's going on here because i can see other boys playing and the other like. to chat with months and months i like look how he's like how his his making this and make things and i what's up with is that we are talking more about him and so both . on girls we are only about there. she considered the biographies of around $400.00 women while designing the game she wanted the final choice to include a variety of cultures air. and occupations. a woman from her native poland made it into the game nobel prize winner maria curie better known as marie curie cherie present. problems. the difficulty that a woman can have in science for me so i think that it's important to know her story in order to see that you can overcome those obstacles. the watercolor portraits

were painted by. the challenge for the polish artist was to make the women look realistic not idealized and immediately recognizable it's not just the way the binding will look but also all the expression the women will have because some of them are smiling some of them show their teeth some are like more. serious. so just deciding which. which one should look how should look very friendly which on hard to approach for example so that was part of like deciding on how exactly to bring them. who she is available in 6 different languages including english german and spanish. the board is made of birchwood but a cheaper cardboard one is also available. the designer hopes to make her game available to as many children as possible and not just girls. i think that it's

important for boys as well to see women as well because if they don't see them as equal if boys don't see girls as equal. in the competition then never ever it won't work. believes that the more strong female role models girls have the more they'll try to emulate them who she is her way of showing girls they can achieve anything. now who lets open the bottle. even though it's the holidays today where not so much interested in the bubbly but the cork that keeps the inside the bottle cork is a very versatile material and now an entire house in england has been built from it the great thing is it is 100 percent natural and totally less likable.

you can use cork for one bottles or to build an entire house. this one and even england is actually made completely of cork and it's entirely sustainable i've always been slightly dissatisfied with things that we typically build with especially in housing so you know concrete block cement based mortar plastic foam insulation it's a whole collection of things rich and up being quite so the negative impacts on the on resource systems nothing helen thomas team experimented for almost 10 years cutting interlocking cork blocks until they found the best structural solution that's $168.00 blocks or slotted together without mortar. gravity alone holds them together and no additional insulation is needed. it's slightly warm to the touch it's got some texture visually in it and it's going to love the smell so it's great for creating

a very rich sensory experience in the house. that does have a smell all of its own a bit like inside a cigar box. 44 square metres of comfort and security modern indicate you could once rather like in an ancient mayan temple. because there's no linings in the space you're going to be looking at the role structure of the buildings you get a very strong sense of permanence of loads of weights actually coming down towards you and around you and that's quite a powerful architectural feeling. because long the news and building facades. this holiday home was built in 2007 in northern portugal. the cork oak. time has left its mark on this house. courson chilling with the environment moves in changes color that's exactly what. likes about it. as it's rent.

on its way here this one is behaving just as we expected. this chalk one brown color it's the color of the reaction to the. wetness of the atmosphere it's very sensual material it follows the seasons it changes through and through through the air. a tribute to portugal's national pride. as the world's largest korku forest it's a paradise of biodiversity and a boon to the climate. is one of privilege because the card has a unique system for each dawn of course we retain $73.00. 2 and these are 3 be shoes that we don't cut we just peel the bark of the tree. and the trees can be up to 200 years old

the core can be harvested every 9 years but the bark grows thick enough to be carefully cut. a spot of course are increasingly replaced by metal and plastic stoppers the oak is in decline. so the rediscovery of cork as a building material is welcome. it's not as also in line but current trends. you don't get to put something on the outside of your house if you don't like it so people 1st have a visual and aesthetic satisfaction with the product it is at the same time a roosting contemporary visual. it was a true pioneer in this field as has introduced many architects the deputy of cork its insulating qualities against noise and cold resistance to fire in total recyclability is a revolution. it was a bomb on japan to canada why he. was

a good step for it you. know hundreds of constructions using cork have been built private homes doctors practices schools. but there's never been a building made exclusively of cork like the house in eden. hell i'm just pleased with the result and it's even moved in. purse projects sort of at the moment but it is it is much you know it is a very calm space. much more architecture perhaps he is interested in huge windows and smooth flat white walls and i really like you get this sort of much more atmospheric feeling. and given the almost 0 carbon footprint he'll certainly be able to sleep with a clear conscience. critic well
