artist. but 1st the fridays for future youth movement against climate change has inspired people around the globe including architects here in germany a group called architects for future is pushing to reform construction for instance by renovating buildings instead of demolishing them the goal is to help stop global warming. we're told we need to build more especially living space but the big question is how to do that sustainably the building industry is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than all traffic combined and it produces more waste than any industry. 50 percent 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in germany and 60 percent of all the waste can be attributed to the building industry and that's a big motivation for us and all the humidity him just under the high end cut

entirely from architects for future say construction needs to be more climate friendly to do this they say we need more refurbishing and less demolition. and we need to use a lot more of what's already there no matter how efficiently and sustainably a new building is constructed in terms of c o 2 using what's already there is much better. buildings use a lot of what's called embodied energy the sum of all the energy needed for construction when they're torn down that energy is wasted yet buildings are still being earmarked for demolition like munich's arabella high rise just 50 years old the city's main train station its claim that refurbishing is more expensive than rebuilding but that doesn't factor in the cost of the embodied energy. there is another way for its new office space the n.-g. o. cradle to cradle in berlin chose to refurbish with recyclable materials.

but electric idea like requiring is a good example normally we don't see the wiring because. it's built into the structure of the building so it's difficult to replace here we have a surface mounted electrical system inside aluminum piping to create we have a cradle to cradle circuit system you can take apart it's recyclable and materially sound so it's easy to dismantle and if you go from the no time must. cradle to cradle is all about recycling management it's the only way to improve the climate balance of the construction industry the principle is not a new one but our throwaway society means it is something of a revolution of. architects for a future there so what is the future for architects my colleague melissa holroyd is here with me now mostly i can't help but think when we talk about the future and architecture i have all these images in my mind of you know plexiglas bubbles floating somewhere in space and escalators to nowhere and built in robots that is

absolutely not what these people are talking about i don't at all yeah i have these these ideas as well but architects to future they're all about recycling and i also want to see us move away from building materials such as concrete and towards timber so they're doing it yeah there are plenty of advantages with using timber it can be as strong as steel it's lights if it's very it's you can put up buildings in no time when you use it. everything is recyclable even the sawdust can be recycled there's a very very long list of advantages and worst case scenario when the building is demolished you can also you can always burn as as few as 3 which is going to say we don't burn down but i guess that could be an advantage. here we're looking at a model housing estate from munich this is 570 apartments all made from the old. market and i and others there are now another trend that's picking up speed is green spaces in buildings so when we talk about green spaces we talk about grass so

plants trees on the facade inside. buildings as part of the permanent aka tech show after months of being looked in those people people's relationship with the environment has become a lot stronger now a lot of ways it's become a lot more important for different people as far as green spaces go outside of buildings there are plenty of changes there too because we're spending more time outside because of corona and p right eating more outside in this socialising a lot more outside greens and so good for mental health 0 of agree totally yet it's supposed to help with depression it helps with bio diversity and gets good for the environment it's just really think critically we're talking about architecture responding to climate change what about social movements we're seeing a black wives matter me to is their response to those in architecture now yeah from what i've looked at there is that there are going to be sort of different shifts that are going to happen in the current narratives that we're going to see in

architecture so we're going to see more female perspectives will create perspectives more black perspectives in architecture and i'm excited to see how this actually translated translates and what actually comes out of it right we're going to be moving away from the white man's burden of being and seeing what else there could be out there yeah you know as a horrid thanks so much for coming in syria thank you. so how to make use of what's already there well artist creates her art out of trash she finds on the streets of paris transforming the disgusting into something that's. almost appetizing. overside sculptures looking good enough to eat the sidewalk passers by can stumble over the. back to study the art university in paris and developed an interest in waste products of all kinds consumerist and throwaway society is the central theme of our works trash is transformed into

a piece of cake. these objects attract people's attention because they look advertising and at the same time they're familiar all at once and old mattress that people once found disgusting or just overlooked becomes interesting and that's what fascinates me that people will look at something they didn't originally want to see . trends into objects of art pop up all over the city. market couldn't imagine making them for an art gallery. here i can set out on my own and create really big objects with just my bare hands and. almost unnoticed in that this is even possible on the street it wouldn't have any meaning for me in a room the contact with people just isn't the same so. i search for junk mainly took me into the multicultural knows gravitas trans people don't have such ready access to the. more you. can cure workers work

stands in public spaces they can be classed as public property as such they can be taken away by the trash pickup at any time. coming up trash doesn't exactly fit the stereotypes of parisian women actually the image of the parisian woman as slim elegant smoking and drinking wine in cafes hasn't really changed much since please it bro though and conquered the silver screen back in the 1950 s. but what makes a real. and her new book a paris based writer takes aim at what she sees as a harmful or exclusionary missed this report from sonia found a car in the french capital. paris the city of light. for its beauty and its flawless inhabitants the slim stylish and seductive body c.n.

or the. often seen in commercials to sell clothes both fumes and beauty products. it's a studio type the nose will the fashion design no worked for karl lagerfeld for nearly 2 decades before launching is only he says the luxury industry relies heavily on the image of the body see in the fight by a long list of style icon that is in us with southampton hair in this will make up and seemingly effortless it's a look at type that's remained unchanged over the decades. and represented as a pin white woman. who blends elegance and for years we talked a little bit because we thought we ought to. have in. american writer and journalist lindsay moved to paris nearly 15 years ago she soon grew tired of the studio types of the body repeated in films and advertise to women

living and working in paris greater equality and support because that's another area where france has a long way to go the book features activists writers artists designers entrepreneurs a female rabbi even a boxing champion. some of them immigrant backgrounds others from the suburbs some from other countries who've made paris the home what i need is to show a plurality of faces and voices that reflect who actually lives here and that was my goal because these are women who are you know because of what they go through and because of their unique experience of the city they are you know motivated to contribute to the city in different ways and try to make it better for those of us who live here but also those who visit the 19th hole in the small in northern paris it's one of the city's most diverse neighborhoods. it's a little quiet and empty reeses an activist grew up and still lives she's one of the most prominent women featured in the book and is well known here she's one of

the few black journalists and commentators on television speaking out on hot button issues of police violence and systemic racism. has long rejected studio types of the parties saying the representation of both women and minorities in french society remains problematic so i have been kind of struggling for very long time to make myself i don't defy them as a french woman and as a parish and i think that all the cliches that are perpetrated by the media by also the advertising. really raises it raises women who look like me so women of color but also women who are able to r.g.b. to queue who are slim hornets'. the elusive. perhaps the enduring myth and its dominance of the city's image is finally beginning to lose a cheap. now before we go i want to leave you with what may be the

strangest culture story of the week in italy a 200 year old statue of napoleon sister needs an extreme pedicure after an austrian tourist sat on her the man was apparently so enticed by a historic plaster copy of this marvelous to culture that he decided to recline with her for a photo after her toes snapped off security footage at the museum shows the man seemingly realizing what he's done to artist and tony work then making a getaway. but the story doesn't end there because of the coronavirus museum guests in italy now have to register their contact details so all police had to do was call the man up the toast napper made a teary confession and as promised to cover the damage that's all for arts and culture this time but do find us on facebook and twitter at the w culture bye bye for now.
