and a museum in italy devoted to the history of mountain photography aptly situated on top of a mountain. there's been quite a trend for musician bio pics in recent years after the oscar success of bahamian rhapsody we've had elton john's rocket man 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 19 seventies and eighties thanks. to the set of young for his birthday. he dreams of becoming a musician and breaking with a longstanding family tradition. that's

nice. but a little perseverance with his dream of his solo career with his music. showing the time when. he would like to become and that's a great opportunity is still naive not always as professional as he is today. you can really work with this. guy. example you know as a back the singer himself is more than happy with the choice. which is the way with this sensitivity 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 closely to me

he's like brothers who've known each other for ever and i was really lucky with the . gift from the gods. of course 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 who's ahead of the game in the field of architecture is the paris based belgian architecture ball time magazine have named his firm 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 versions of. true floating cities vertical farms and airplanes that run on hydrogen people thought i was a crazy belgian who'd read too many comic books and they said you will 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. bill. should be able to transit back up into

resources. that are killed by. high tech buildings that produce their own electricity as well as food for residents. the buildings forms are based on shapes found in nature. calls 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 is how is 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. 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 that cause global warming. the architect developed prototypes. 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 life. the architects ideas are futuristic also in the sense that he wants to inspire optimism for the future.

younger generations are hungry. and 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 the experiment. has one of the young architects ready to design our experimental cities of the future. it's 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 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 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 protection what criteria aka tex looking at so a lot of it's about energy use especially as we get closer to 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 potential solution is the architects are looking more and more into recitals being torn down buildings this is a process sometimes called urban mining it's a great term that was coined by japanese professor in the 1980 s. it means reclaiming the resources in these demolished buildings that could even be for instance the sand in concrete which seems at 1st like well 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 black plastic we all know about the problem with plastic can't we use that 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's 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 you know reach into the garbage can we've got all the materials we need to make the 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 bridges and dangerous slopes to get those very special pictures a quite unique museum sounds to roll in italy is dedicated to mountain photography and 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. they're all snapshots of the breathtakingly beautiful view of the mountains the lumen museum on the corner played speak insults a role 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 an architect gathered my connect turned the old cable car station into a cutting edge museum with its own restaurant. 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 kaila in to bet where people have a very unique relationship with the mountain and in other cultures mountains are very important because they possess assess and sanctity and i think they are often equated with gods. man callous and tit 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 an imbecile of france who climbed to mon blong with his brother in 1982 back then mountain photographers had to carry heavy equipment. by the late 1900 the mountains were attracting hikers in crater numbers but mass tourism really hit in the 1950 s. . the mountains can be experienced with all the senses on saw through rolls corn

plaques in a feast for eyes and palate surrounded by the vast panoramic view. a wonderful view more about that and other stories from the world of arts and culture on our website at g.w. dot com wash culture and if you want to see any of this edition again it's also available there on the web site for now though from myself and all the crew here in berlin thanks for watching.

friday's for the future minus 30 celsius on the german kona research station the scientists want to send a message. they're on the frontline of climate change research and take a look at their findings. in a limited disappearing ice climate change in the antarctic. close off the shits 30. w. . i was issued when i arrived here i slept with 6 people in a room similar it was hard i was fair. i even got white hair is that.

the german language ahead of me a lot this gives me a little push maybe to entrap let's say you want to know their story muslims are fighting and reliable information for margaret. d. to know that 77 percent of black are younger than 6 of pot. that's me and me and you. and you know what it's time old boy says bob hart. on the 77 percent the top bobby issued stuff. this is where you cut. the 77 percent this weekend on d w. this
