there's been quite a trend for musician bio pics in recent years after the success of bahamian rhapsody we've had elton john's rocket and it's just been announced that there's going to be a movie about bob dylan's early life now here in germany there's a new film about this country's biggest rock star in the back also concentrating on his early life and rise to fame back in the 19th seventy's and eighty's. with a set of young gets for his birthday. he dreams of becoming a musician and breaking with a longstanding family tradition. because we took that as a. yes bus. routes needs. a lot of perseverance with his dream of

a solo career with his music. not. showing the time when. he'd like to become and that's a great opportunity. still naive and not always as professional as he is today. you can really work with this. guy on the track. x. example you know as a back the singer himself it's more than happy with the choice. to do the way with this sensitive and say but also this way of craziness he's just as crazy as me and he doesn't copy may he has his own style but he stays very close intimate with you like brothers who known each other. it was really lucky with.

gifts from the fanny dogs. and then back to your thing chronicles the highs and lows in the career of one of germany's most iconic rock legends. but. there is no doubt that a huge topic for the world in this new decade will be how we can green our planet one man who's ahead of the game in the field of architecture is the paris based belgian architect ball time magazine have named his as the best eco prospective a visionary architectural company around so let's have a look at some of his futuristic designs. if architect. has his way

buildings like this one could become the new normal. is a. floating city vertical farms and airplanes that run on hydrogen people thought i was a crazy belgian who'd read too many comic books they said you'll never build anything. they aren't saying that anymore. paris architecture bureau now pumps out one futuristic concept after another using their imagination and an interdisciplinary scientific approach to imagine the city of the future when. we started dreaming of how to turn cities into ecosystems we try to imagine neighborhoods as forests and buildings as inhabited trees able to produce all the energy. these buildings should be able to transit back up into.

our kids by our. high tech buildings that produce their own electricity as well as food for residents. the buildings forms are based on shapes found in nature. brokaw's these proposed buildings ocean scrapers the idea is to make them with 3 d. printers using algae and plastic waste as building materials. avoids conventional steel and concrete in favor of natural or recycled resources. this twisting tower in taipei is already finished. this was that can withstand a 7.0 magnitude earthquake on the richter scale it's also agree with around 25000 trees and bushes that remove toxins from the atmosphere by photosynthesis.

the scientists and agricultural engineers we worked with estimate that this vertical forest can store up to $135.00 tons of c o 2 per year. don't do so. for the project paris 2050 the city commission to come up with a master plan for how the french capital could reduce 75 percent of greenhouse gases because global warming. the architect developed prototypes. the green space in them also includes room for agriculture bringing farms back into the city. says it combines the best of city life with the best of country while. the architects ideas are futuristic also in the sense that he wants to inspire optimism for the future. younger generations are hungry solutions i think young people we see today

protesting in the streets of cities around the world want to adopt an eco responsible lifestyle as quickly as possible they're ready for these experiment. is one of the young architects ready to design our experimental cities of the future. my colleague david leavitt's is to talk more about this now david just to start we saw images there of this project paris 2050 i mean can paris really look like what we see is in 30 years you know it's going to really take a lot of commitment from the politicians there i don't want to go about guessing that but it's been the paris hasn't had a major facelift since the 19th century so this would be a pretty big departure for the city it would also set a really huge example for other cities that want to cut their emissions and by the

way some of those ideas are pretty out there he's actually proposed installing electromagnetic flooring at europe's busiest train station the god you know that he says would turn people's footsteps into enough electricity to power a whole district of the city that's pretty crazy these are some crazy ideas but in a way they are about giving people optimism that there could be solutions to these problems what exactly does it mean when we talk about green or what criteria aka tex looking at a lot of it's about energy use this specially as we get closer to that 9b1xb population mark in the next 30 years architects aren't just looking anymore though at the energy that buildings use they're looking at the energy that goes into making buildings and construction by the way accounts for about a 10th of the carbon footprint footprint. what i didn't know so here's the big question what's the solution well one of the potential solution is

the architects are looking more and more into recitals going torn down buildings this is a process sometimes called urban mining it's a great term that was coined by japanese professor in the 1900. it is it means reclaiming the resources in these demolished buildings that could even be for instance the sand in concrete which seems at 1st like what's the big deal it's just sand but here in germany for instance there's hardly any sand left so initiatives to do this in cities like here in berlin could actually save construction project projects for having to import those resources from china and the us a lot about plaque plastic we all know about a problem with plastic can't we used well there are some new ideas for recycled materials we can take a look at some of the more sexy ideas than that concrete recycling there is a research facility and switzerland were researchers are experimenting with different recycled materials the prototype kitchen counter here is made from recycled glass the cabinets are made of carrot and potato skins if you would

believe it and the fancy marble in the bathroom is made from recycled plastic bottle caps so if we just in a region with a garbage can we've got all the materials we need to make your arguments of the future if we can do that yeah i think that's great i'm sure we'll be coming back to this very subject much more in the region the near future david leavitt's as always thank you. with the advent of drones aerial photography has become much simpler but in the past manson is frances had to schlep lots of equipment up steep ridges and dangerous slopes to get those very special pictures a quite unique museum sounds to roll in italy is dedicated to manson photography in the museum itself is a spectacular as the photos within perched as it is on top of a mountain. jumping into the abyss. conquering the summit.

scaling the sheer cliff face. their own snapshots of the breathtakingly beautiful view of the mountains the lumen museum on the one plods peak in south to roll presents the history of mountain photography the museum purchased on the edge of the high plateau giving visitors a panoramic view of the dolomites and similar town alps. sound to only architect gary hart my connection to turn the old cable car station into a cutting edge museum with its own restaurants. inside our magnificent vistas and spectacular displays the mirror room brings out the colors and structures of the mountains and repeating images. exhibit includes photos from around the world. such as mount fuji in japan. mount kilimanjaro in tanzania.

glacier bay national park in alaska and mount chi lashing tibet where people have a very unique relationship with the mountain and in other cultures mountains are very important because they possess a certain sanctity and i think they are often equated with gods. man callous and too bad for example is a very well known peak reachable by pilgrimage tracks in europe mountain hikers began taking cameras along in the. mid 19th century one was of course was a lot of friends who climbed to mon belonged with his brother in 162 back then mountain photographers had to carry heavy equipment. by the late 1900 stem out as were attracting hikers in greater numbers but mass tourism really hit in the 1950 s. . the mountains can be experienced with all the senses on saw through rose corn plants in a fused for eyes and palate surrounded by the vast panoramic view. wonderful
