but 1st the friday's 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 do you 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 normally he would enter the him to stick under the highland company 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 the missing fema 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 your market for demolition like munich's arabella high rise just 50 years old and 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 often on the time list. 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 yeah there are plenty of advantages with using it can be as strong as steel it's lights 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 it is feel very rich is going to say we don't burn down but i guess that could be an advantage because. here we're looking at a model housing estate from munich this is 570 apartments all made from the old. market in the end however there are now another trend that's picking up speed is green spaces in buildings so when we talk about green spaces were talking about grass so

plants trees on the facade all inside. buildings as part of the permanent aka tech show after months of being locked indoors people people's relationship with the environment has become a lot stronger in 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 it's so good for mental health 0 of agree totally yet it's supposed to also help with depression it helps with bio diversity and gets food 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 good 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 quit perspectives

more black perspectives in architecture and i'm excited to see how this actually translated to translate some what actually comes out of it right we're going to be moving away from the white man's poetry and seeing what else there could be out there her yeah you know as a horrid thanks so much for coming in studio thank you. so how to make use of what's already bare rock 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 block the sidewalk pursers by can stumble over the. back to study the art at the university in paris and developed an interest in waste products of all kinds are consumerist and throw away 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 appetising and at the same time they're familiar all at once an old mattress that people once found disgusting one just overlooked becomes interesting and that's what fascinates me that people will look at something they didn't originally want to see logically or. transit objects of art pop up all over the city. you 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 when i was doing 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 songs are almost my search for junk mainly took me into the multicultural no strength to strength people don't have such ready access to the. more your. computer walkers

work standard 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 you brother and conquered the silver screen back in the 1950 s. but what makes a real impact and her new book a paris based writer takes aim at what she sees as a harmful or exclusionary myths this report from sonia found a car in the french capital. paris the city of light feeble for its beauty and its flawless inhabitants the slim stylish and seductive body or the

parisian woman often seen in commercials to sell clothes both fumes and beauty products. it's a studio type the noise will the fashion designer worked with a lot of food 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 in hair invisible makeup and seemingly effortless shaking it's a look at tired that's remained unchanged over the decades. and represented as a pin white woman. who blends elegance and freedom we don't want to because we thought we wanted it to be. able to have it. but the myth is being questioned with critics saying it creates an unattainable ideal one that excludes the majority of french women. american writer and journalist lindsay moved

to paris nearly 15 years ago she soon grew tired of the studio types of the body and repeated in films and advertising campaigns. her latest book the new who's released sided with debates about rachel justice and french identity portrays a diverse set of women living and working in paris greater equality in sport because it'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 have made paris the whole what i mean 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 in 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 racism activists 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. it has long rejected studio types of the same 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 see 5 as a frenchman 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 disabled who are educated hugh who are not slim hornets'. the elusive. perhaps the enduring myth and its dominance of the city's image is finally beginning to lose the 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 tonio novas 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 has promised to cover the damage that's all for arts and culture this time but do find us on facebook and twitter at g.w. culture bye bye for now.

to the point of strong opinions clear position and international perspectives. for the time being the coronavirus is it seems chance is dying and with many countries including germany possibly facing us 2nd way we also put exactly how we can see in rome. to find out join me or my grandson to the point of me. to this point. to the tune of 30 minutes on the c.w. . every day counts for us and for our climate. global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation law how do we make cities screen her how can we protect habitat soon we can make

a difference on the line to those environmental series of moves through tunnels and on to w. and online. where the real trial it resides. i come from there are lots of people in fact new than the brilliant it is the blood not just democracy to me that's one reason why i'm passionate about people and aspirations and a consensus. to finishing the book is fried chicken but end up to the floor of the sun in one and remember thinking at the time if the blood in broken for what happened to see her come together and unite for a cause. but i do the news i often confronted difficult situations more conflict between disaster and i see despondent my job to confront goodspeed as unconscious ease and development to put the spotlight on issues that matter most hunger food

security oppression nationalisation. a not hands can achieve that so much more needs to be john and i think people have to be at the heart of solutions my name is a mcclatchy done and i work at the delta. this is news and these are our top stories at least 17 people were killed and more than 100 injured when a passenger plane skidded off the runway in heavy rain in the southern indian city of cozy coder also known as the air india express flight from dubai was repatriated .
