the multi which is fast becoming a destination for food. and how similar our dogs and their owners one german for charter 1st takes an up close and personal look. but we start off with a british artist who has made a name for herself not just by sculpting famous faces but also by the amount of time it takes her to complete the job frances siegelman recreates her subjects like this in just 2 hours it's her signature style while seeing is believing so we caught up with the artist in london to watch her in action. violin maverick nigel kennedy prime minister boris johnson and other members of british society when sculptor francis siegel money enters a studio in east london she always has silent observers here she's working on

a private commission the 72 year old has always been at home in art. that she started as a hobby and all my life i was an artist because i come from a very very background i took up a little class with my hope my 2 little children and then from that minute on with i was completely obsessed with sculpture i'd never want to stop working i never want to stop doing it and only in about 30 years ago 32 years i started doing which is a career in. her special talent is working quickly she can sculpt a bust in about 2 hours siegelman often works in front of an audience for charity such as with these pieces british film diva john commons russian ballet dancer sergei pollution and british actress joanna lumley. i love working in an audience. i'm not very keen on being my own studio which quite

strange but i have to have positive thinking all the way through the 2 hours otherwise the sculpture doesn't work. in the year 2000 francis siegelman was commissioned to sculpt prince philip the queen herself followed in 2007 since then officially a royal sculptor she has also immortalized prince charles and princess sand in bronze. working with the queen was the absolute most amazing thing i've ever done it was incredible. she is such a lovely woman and obviously it was very nerve wracking because like i. i measure all the time with calipers and i have to get to a hair and her face to get the measurements i was very very. over the course of a year france a single mom had 3 sessions with the queen at buckingham palace the bust was unveiled personally by her majesty in 2008. there.

but she not only betrays nobility and celebrities she is also working on a series that means a lot to her since 2017 she's been sculpting the heads of holocaust survivors thereby creating lasting memorials to them. i thought that i wouldn't be able to cope with the feelings you know when i was sculpting i were he said to me can i call you mother he said because i feel as if you give me a new life you know that my life hasn't finished and it will go on and that was all i needed i was completely hooked and i just felt like these people are dying i'm going to do as many as i can. at this live event by the thames the audience is only virtually present francis siegelman will sculpt a portrait of marla tribute born in 1030 commissioned by the holocaust memorial center yard vashem. something i would normally have so.

i took well to it i have to say now probably find it interesting watching. this because it's very skillful and she's obviously got to be so quick within 2 hours she more to lies is the face of the holocaust survivor and clay. the resemblance is impressive. but i think it's a very good likeness and i'm usually quite fussy about it was pete. i know it. probably looks much much of that not. quite stressful. i love the fact that i'm doing this of this wonderful beautiful lady that's been through so much. but for me it was very difficult not having

a crowd on the clay was drawing up all the time later you'll be constant braun's said mom the tribute to the holocaust survivors will live on for future generations through the work of france assume. she certainly is talented have you ever come across a massive concrete building and thought wow now that is a monstrosity the whole chances are if it was built here in europe in the 1950 s. then it belongs to an architectural style known as brutal ism such buildings were constructed after world war 2 as part of an effort to get cities back up and functioning quickly now many of them were considered eyesores and have since been torn down but there is a growing fan base for the ones which remain. the architecture style known as brutal ism can be described as monumental colorless and inhuman. these edifices tends to polarize to some their eyesores

while others a growing number of architecture aficionados the world over are rediscovering brutalist on which. i find branch of wisdom so fascinating because it's so antagonistic and controversial on the one hand the buildings are written off as ugly and many of them do take some getting used to. but once you look behind the scenes and begin to understand why these structures look the way they do it's a whole architectural cosmos open as out. take tanishaa course most of the so-called cousy a house in berlin resembles a towering cruise ship architecture historian and photographer felix torre car sees it as one of the city's principal examples of brutal ism designed by french swiss architect in 1957 it contains 530 apartments on 17 floors in what has been called a living machine then

a brutal ism actually originated with. because he coined the term based on the 4 unfinished concrete. and he coined it for this development. if you take a good look at the building you will see a joint mechanical monstrosity. but at the same time one that's remained quite roar . it was an able to carry out his plans for the interior except for a single apartment later remodeled to faithfully reproduce the original ideas based on his color theories. granted color the same importance as the floor plan and layout hendrix petland immediately understood the fascination and bought the apartment and most of its furnishings. we were not going to change the colors are pouring over this like a house of cards sticking it with you can just fall down if you if searching too much also left unchanged since the late 1970 s.

is the check embassy building in downtown berlin it could be regarded as an art work in itself the architect even designed the lamps tables and armchairs the address also houses the czech culture institute the building often plays a role in its exhibitions interest in this architectural style appears to be growing even if it's not universally loved a good side i believe this clash persists even now that it's either loved or hated and of course brutal ism is far more in nowadays. i've been trying to bring architecture fans into the building to tell them more about the structure. and i was recently a british publisher put out a series of city guides focusing on brutal ism felix tour card took the photos and curated the berlin edition among the buildings featured are this hygiene institute it was slated for demolition until recently now it's

a listed site since they tend to stand out brutalist buildings have experienced a revival in social media triggered by campaigns aimed at preventing them from being torn down like this former animal testing laboratory in berlin. in the 1960 s. when these buildings were planned a great number of structures from the mid to late 19th century were torn down buildings that we think are fabulous today and a horrified at how much beautiful old architecture has been lost at the time many of them were only around 60 years old exactly the same age as these buildings are today so we have to think about whether or not we want to repeat the same mistakes . but all the while new concrete buildings are going up in the neo brutalist style such as the loeb o'clock in berlin setting district here fair face concrete predominates both inside and out the multi award winning building combines apartments and studios. it's unfinished look is not only meant to be stylish but to

reduce construction costs and keep the rents down. in recent years we've noticed a new kind of openness to craftsmanship. crafts movement goes hand in hand with the idea that architecture ought to be more hands on again so. brutal is a style of architecture that appeared over 60 years ago and still polarizes and fascinates people today. from one extreme in architecture to other extremes across the continent follow our series in europe to the max on you tube for some exciting adventures. see your up from its extreme sides in your up to the max your match reporting hendrik vending takes you to one of a kind places in your at. the highest volcano. the biggest stadium.

a traditional street called a steep sea. there's also manna from teton sheen a dish that combines punster with octopus roku which goes back 500 years and there's a combined dessert of lemon juice. black tea and cream. by doing good maybe it was seen as one of the best cuisine especially because of their greedy hands you don't need to play a lot with this mess especially if your garden stuff that if you smell it on what the world that there is a lot of you you don't just buy those arabs but so the. off flavor. this is the philosophy to add commander in the town of some 20 kilometers away not an altar. the restaurant serves mostly french and regional projects and it was awarded her. for offering high quality dishes at affordable prices.

edge chance damien joe part runs the family business we are influenced by a lot of cuisines our culture with cancer lot of people from arabic it early in. and that's when these creations for the final dishes come from. the typical starter might be a tomato and onion jam served with a local sheep cheese and a whole not vinegar. the main thomas could be paul belly soft with cauliflower mushrooms as well as small to take on sausage filled kind of lonely for. his role desserts made with dates i'm easily cured and rose water is called and added when it comes to morty's busines using recipes like for example the basic in our it which is a very classic maltese pastry with foundries how to do new pastry how to do refined a filling and how to do it as

before that was served at the thief it's like my mom used. to ground my own grandmother as well so whatever over there was from the heart. was launched to be found here for lovers of italian food like these maltese recall to ravioli in a tomato unpassable song was morton's cuisine has many facets but whatever you're trying it's bound to be delicious. it's often been said that dogs in their own are share an uncanny resemblance well i don't have a dog so i cannot speak from personal experience but there are plenty of examples on the street as a matter of fact i just saw a short man with a somewhat flat face walking a pug or one photographer here in berlin is fascinated by the relationship between

man and his dog so he set out to get some answers. as the saying goes dark are man's best friend and these dog owners regardless of gender love their canines and the feeling seems to be mutual. but photographer thomas doesn't have a dog and never has for nearly 40 years his exclusive passion has been people. yet for his latest project he's focusing on dogs too and sometimes it's challenging. but honestly i've got to admit i have quite a bit of respect for dogs the bigger and more boisterous they are the more respect i have so it's a challenge for me but it's always good to learn something new in life. timing is an art that thomas really has to master for this project. not all dogs love to be photographed. bribery is the main ploy to get the perfect picture.

in comparison beings are the easier subject. of this type of photography meeting dog owner at eye level it's really exciting sometimes the similarity between dogs and their owners is quite amazing when you see them next to each other . of course you look for similarities because that's the cliché that owners resemble their dogs or vice versa or both but they haven't really seen that. is 55 and by choice always has plenty of new project ideas. but it was the corona pandemic above all that gave his latest person dog project a big creative push. at the time i wasn't getting many photography jobs and was spending lots of time just going for walks and that's when i had a closer look at the dogs and on is i ran into and made some funny observations powerfully built man with a little dog for example so i thought i could explore that more closely. he's

already photographed 40 pairs his images are meant to express the intense relationship between a dog and its owner he always spoke to grasp them separately and then links the photos. in identical composition the visual imagery is straightforward and direct. has already applied this is that extra his most successful projects so far. are 100 here he focused on the change in a person during the course of their life from an infant to a centenarian in another project called one he did portraits of people wearing. his works have above all. the deeply looking into the eyes of another person or an animal creates a connection. and this connection leads to one being one and that's what i want my images to convey that we all have with each other from person to person but

also from person to animal. whether thomas himself will at some point establish a deep connection with the dog is uncertain and more likely his human how and photos will appear in the volume of his latest photographic work to the delight of not just these dog lovers. maybe whole ducats next. one once asked what she wore to bed american actress marilyn monroe famously said only a few drops of chanel number 5 and with that statement she cemented the perfect his reputation as a classic must have now chanel number 5 is celebrating its 100th anniversary we take a look at some of the elements that have kept it going for so long. the formula for one of the world's best known perfumes is known only to a few people one of them is olivier could house perfume or for chanel over

a century has passed since coco chanel set out to develop a perfume unlike any other chanel number 5 among the more than 80 high quality compounds are tuberose jasmine and this was new synthetic aldehyde so. she wanted an artificial perfume she compared a fragrance with a dress because a dress is also created from different elements that's why should know number 5 is so different in its style and composition based around the floral aroma boosters and all the other chanel per use that followed were like that. here in southern france jasmine stretches to the distant hills these blossoms are reserved exclusively for the production of chanel number 5 several times a year olivia push comes from paris to cross. the blossoms are harvested in the early mornings from august to october and taken to

a nearby factory for immediate processing. $350.00 kilos of blossoms yield only about one kilo of pure jasmine extract. just mint may well be the most important element in the identity of should know number 5 when coco chanel meant to push him. in the early 1920 s. she asked him to create a scent from the finest of compounds these are most often extracted from blossoms and of those the jasmine from grass is the finest. coco chanel and her new fragrance revolutionized the perfume world just as she had the fashion world before. in the 1950 s. the simple but elegant was made part of the permanent collection of new york city's museum of modern art. guarded 5 as her lucky number.

she presented her collections on the 5th of may the 5th month of the you. the number 500 great significance for her. and so she felt immediately drawn to the curfew sample number 5. from the iconic american starlet marilyn monroe to french academy award winner. many of the most beautiful women in show business have done advertising for the legendary. pushes most daunting challenge is to preserve number 5 legacy while advancing its development. laboratory in paris has turned out a few variations on the classic sense over the years. the way the purview muse applied has changed over time the 921 this gesture was in style people would put drops of her few behind there is. a highly concentrated and rigid scent today.

to apply a perfectly with. the original formula for the fragrance had to be adopted once again. the pandemic has put a damper on plans for a big celebration for chanel number 5. but nothing can change the fact that 100 years ago. created a fragrance that has since become one of the most successful and popular on. and i'm out for a great notion we've come to the end of the show don't forget to follow us on social media for more on the program for me and the rest of the crew here in berlin as always thanks for tuning in and we'll see you again soon.
