this might look like a sunken battleship but it's actually one of the most unusual buildings in berlin well find out more about this bizarre architecture later on in the show. everyone and welcome to another edition of euro max with me your host meghan lee here's a look at what else we've got in store for you today. a trip to the island state of

the multiple which is fast becoming a destination for food. and how similar are dogs and their owners one german photographer 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 doris johnson and other members of british society when sculptor francis siegelman enters a studio in east london she always has silent observance 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 artistic background i took up a little class when my had my 2 little children and then from that minute always i was completely obsessed with sculpture i'd never want to stop working i never watch so doing it and only in about 30 years ago 32 years ago i started doing it as a career and. 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 joan collins russian ballet dancer sergei polonium and british actress joanna lumley. i love working in an audience. i'm not very keen on being my own studio which is

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 have ever done it was incredible. she is such a lovely woman and obviously is very nerve wracking because like i. measure all the time and calipers and i have to get to a hair and her face to get the measurements and i was very very. over the course of the year france a single mom had 3 sessions with the queen at buckingham palace the bust was unveiled personally by her majesty in 2008 yeah.

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. oh i thought that i wouldn't be able to cope with the feelings you know when i was sculpting ivor he said to me can i call you mother he said because i feel the same 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 mahler tributes born in 1930 commissioned by the holocaust memorial center yard beacham. 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 in clay. the resemblance is impressive. but i think it's a very good likeness and i'm usually quite fussy about it was he. no that. thing. probably looks much much of the 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 to cry on the clay

was drawing up time later you know be tossed in bronze so knowledge the beach and the holocaust survivors will live on future generations through the work of francis see. 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 they're eyesores

while others a growing number of architecture aficionados the world over are rediscovering brutal ism. and. i find virtual isn't 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 the whole architectural cosmos opens up. cos most 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. 1957 it contains 530 apartments on 17 floors in what has been called

a living machine limaye mcgrew journalism actually originated with a goose he coined the term. for 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 . was 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 fed lent immediately understood the fascination and bought the apartment and most of its furnishings. we were not going to change the colors of his apartment never was like a house of cards sticking everything can just fall down if you if searching too

much also left unchanged since the late 1970 s. is the czech and the c. 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. woodside movies or 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 isn't felix took car took the photos and curated the berlin edition among the buildings featured are this hygiene institute that 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 960 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 loba. and berlin's betting district here fair faced concrete predominates both inside and out the multi award winning building combines

apartments and studio. its 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 cross midship. crofts movement goes hand in hand with the idea. or to be more hands on again so. brutal isn't the 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 side in europe to the max you are max reporting hendrik bending takes you to one of a kind places in your at. the highest volcano. the biggest stadium.

into lights a total of 5 restaurants on a small mediterranean island state of being awarded. 3 more have. been serving excellent moderately priced meals one of the michelin stars went to no need in the center of mountains capital for latter which serves traditional cuisine with a modern twist. it was named after the founder jonathan brincat who is also the chef state think you have a little bit is that more 1st of all because of their subtle flavors secondly because it's very reclusive most it's not very fatty you have very lean meat and mostly i think because their population are a good hold up in the habit. rabbit is one of the many teachings that can be ordered alex can't but there's also a 6 course menu for the very hungry the rabbit is served with

a traditional st for the past t.t. . there's also manna from teton sheen the dish that combines pastoral with octopus roku which comes back to find 100 years and there's a combined dessert of lemon juice black tea and cream. voting in cuisine is one of the best cuisine especially because of being greedy and you're not the only took larry annoyed with this mess especially if your garden suburb if you smell that or more the one that gave you you don't just buy those arabs it's over the world of flavor. this is the philosophy to add commando in the town of milly's some 20 kilometers away not a monster. the restaurant serves mostly french and regional projects and it was awarded to be called home for offering high quality dishes at affordable prices.

edge chance damien part runs the family business we are influenced by a lot of cuisines our culture where it comes to lot of people are from arabic it early in. and that's when this creation for the final dish is contra. the typical starter might be a tomato and onion jam served with a local sheep she's and the whole not been a great. the main course could be paul kelly stuffed with cauliflower mushrooms as well as multiples take on sausage filled kind alone in. this role desserts made with dates i'm easily cured and rose water is called and added when it comes to mauritius busines using hippies like for xander the basic and our it which is a very eclectic maltese spacey we've found ways how to do new pastry how to do refine the filling and how to do it as

a restaurant dish no food he should leave multiverse capital the latter without visiting the food market. will find a variety of dishes here from all over the world as well as traditional mall teens cuisine. that's one jonathan god science in his beast teeth that's the thing if. there's a combination of. the dairy a.d.n. flavors were started by so i think an onion garlic and. carrots. then. the act of course. there's all the sand capers. placed octopus chew is served inside a sourdough bread. the for tierra is filled with some drawing to mansions on the inside tankers which you know fresh. and cheese.

the food that was served at the thief it's like my mom. my own grandmother as well so whatever we do from the heart. is launched to be found here for lovers of italian food like these multi-use recall to ravioli in a tomato and possible songs. many facets but whatever you're trying it's bound to be delicious. it's often been said that dogs in their own or 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 pug 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 dogs 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 it's 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 good timing is an art that thomas care. really has to master for this project. not all dogs love to be photographed. bribery is the main ploy to get the perfect picture.

and comparison human beings are the easier subjects to do that this type of photography meeting dog and owner and i level is 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 cliche that owners resemble their dogs or vice versa or both but they haven't really seen that . is 55 and a berliner 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 that's when i had a closer look at the dogs and on as i ran into and made some funny observations a tall powerfully built man with a little dog for example so i thought i could explore that more closely. he's

already photographed 40 parents his images are meant to express the intense relationship between a dog and its owner he always spoke to graphs them separately and then links the photos with an 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 and another project called one he did portraits of people wearing masks his works have above all one. i found the deeply looking into the eyes of another person or an animal. connection deep bond and this connection leads to one or being one and that's what one might images to convey a deep bone that we all have with each other from person to person but also from

person to animal from and to you know whether thomas himself will at some point establish a deep connection with the dog is uncertain more likely his human hound photos will appear in a volume of his latest photographic work to the delight of not just these dog lovers. maybe he'll do cats 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 alleviate the 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. if she wanted an artificial curfew 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 crafts. 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 sealed only about one kilo of pure jasmine extract. jasmine may well be the most important element in the identity of chenault number 5 when coco chanel met 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. in. 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 was made part of the permanent collection of new york city's museum of modern art. regarded 5 as her lucky number.

she presented her collections on the 5th of may the 5th month of the year. the number 5 hold 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 scent . most daunting challenge is to preserve number 5 legacy while advancing its development. perfume 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 in 1921 this gesture was in style people would put

drops of her few behind there is. a highly concentrated and rigid. today. to apply a perfect human 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 earth. 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.
