oh, but how can it be made accessible with a replica now in display, in nearby my say, your romance next on d w. ah, oh, what people have to say matters to us. m. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend upon d. w. ah, are there you love it? or you hate it? brutal is architecture is still dividing. opinions. under trip to london,

we'll find out from its fans. what makes it so special? hi everyone. welcome to another edition of your max with me your host. megan lee. here's a look at what else we've got in store for you. today. we dive into a major archaeological discovery off the coast of france. and we think our teeth into a summer delicacy in spain, snails, it's bold, it's aggressive, and people are divided over. it's beauty, i'm talking about brutal as to architecture. it's a style that developed in the 19 fifties and was meant to be simple and functional . but these heavy, concrete structures began to lose their popularity in the eighty's because people viewed them as too cold. while many examples still exist and have developed a cult following, especially in the u. k, where the movement began,

oh, clean lines. plenty of concrete and monumental boldness. the architectural style known as brutal ism polarizes like no other. some see the heavy weight buildings as oppressive. others say they are daring ventures in architecture that deserve to be seen and protected. britain is stocked extra for me is such an exciting, bold and ambitious project, it's really will say, squeezed into a few years in the 20th century. but in those years, we managed to build some of the most fantastic and bowls and adventurous buildings that the country's ever seen. conservator, henrietta billing says, put her fascination with brutal ism to paper. she's great at a map of 50 buildings in this style around london. one of her favorites can be found in west london, the 98 meter high trellis tower. it was designed as social housing by the british,

hungarian architect and who goldfinger, and completed in 1972. back then it was the you case, tallest, residential, high rise, and nicknamed the tower of terror because of the areas high crime rate. but these days it's a popular residential area. and the iconic building is even available as a souvenir. tonic tower is a real landmark of london. not only because of it's absolutely monumental architecture, it's really striking silhouette, but it's also really recognizable from anywhere. and it's probably one of the reasons why it's been so successful in terms of merchandising. back to the center, the capital's biggest ensemble of brutalized architecture is located in the city, london's financial district. here we find the barbecue, designed by the british architecture farm, chamberlain, powell and bon, when it was opened in 1982 queen elizabeth the 2nd described it as

a modern wonder of the world. visitors can learn about its unique concept in guided tours. eating this amount of concrete is m, would be impossible today. it would just be 40 energy intensive in far too expensive, but not only that is the technique with which they used to create their surface. and it is using a drill essentially what come in drilling this f as to create this really uneven texture. the barbican includes a performing arts center, an art gallery and residential complexes. architect melanie schubert has renovated some 2000 of the plats for clients. she's lived in one of them herself for a while and knows that many of her former neighbors are bands of brutal is a brutal isn't why i really like it. but i think if you come with know troy knowledge of brutalize them all the bob we can all modern architecture. i think it's, it's

a bit difficult. intermittent green areas form oases in the urban desert. the 3 residential towers reaching 123 meters high number among london's tallest buildings also unique for the high walks reserved for pedestrians, while road traffic passes beneath. henrietta fillings also appreciates the barbarians, shifting perspectives and simplicity. we're just looking at stack a hair into one of the blocks, but it's just 3 simple materials, concrete, steel and glass. what i love about is just the simplicity of it. and through that simplicity, you get designs, like they said, the and through the glass, you see the concrete stage. and again, you see the steel banisters, the even 3, the glass. you see the same repetition of material. i love it. on the south bank of the thames between westminster palace and tower bridge stands london's most prominent, brutal is structure. the royal national theatre, designed by english architect. sir denis lasted and completed in 1976. prince

charles once compared it to a nuclear power plant. the complex was renovated for some 100000000 euros, and while the theater is protect it, other brutal structures are in danger of demolition. what we need to be careful of is demolishing those buildings because we think that they have left value because we think that that modern and they do any protecting. but actually, it's exactly why we do need to make sure that the best example is a protective, brutal isn't an architectural style that divides opinion which is definitely worth seeing for divers this, these are like unexplored museums. this was certainly the case for one french diver in 1985 off the coast of southern france, or re cost garr discovered cave paintings that were over 30000 years old. but due

to the extreme difficulty of reaching the caves, the artworks remained off limits to most people. until now, we visited a new museum where you don't need a diver certificate to enjoy them. just a few kilometers off the french coast from my st, lies a hidden archaeological treasure. in 1985 diver, all re coast care happened upon the entrance to a flooded cabin and his discovery made waves. mm hm. did. i just like to wander around it on the lookout for new places, and it was my curiosity that led me to find this hole less than 37 meters down with and one meter 20. hi, will you swim through a tunnel? 175 meters was an end up in a large cavern. yup. the cave is submerged and just

a 3rd remains intact. good to others are under water. there are stalactites, lance. the lag might that it resembles a greek temple. probably the image is a really extraordinary measure, except that the coast can cave was named off to him. it's the only known underwater cabin in the world. with pre historic rock paintings. the 500 works of art, a 33000 years old. the time the cave entrance was far above sea level in the villa middle tyranny and must say, a replica of the cave was built to preserve a piece of humanity's history. ali the fury thing on board. there were many challenges due for the 1st twist, though it consisted of integrating a korea store a cave into an existing building would do sure. but it's a geologically very complex cave, full of stalactites and stalagmites, but with a very low esteem. i mean, as you're backward, so we had to build

a walkway to allow visitors through it and trying to do all the bluff on with them . the cave replica took 2 years to build and cost $24000000.00 euros. about $250.00 artists, scientists and crofts, people were involved the most labor intensive part of the project was recreating artworks in intricate detail the numerous engravings and paintings by stone age. people are impressive. also from a research perspective, many of the pre historic images depict animals, especially horses, spice, and great hawks, an extinct flightless species of birds. one particularly common motif a human hands, even though mysteriously parts of fingers are often missing lip booth. there are different possible explanation that these hands with missing fingers might be expressing a sort of sign language. if we mustn't forget these people were hunter gatherers.

and while on a hunting, it's sometimes easier and safer to communicate using gestures than to yell or speak loudly to avoid scaring off hurts of animals. so, rising sea levels have probably destroyed many of the cave paintings in the cost care cave. but the copy of the swelled heritage site enables visitors to experience that up. close spanning 1700 square meters. it's the 3rd smaller than the original on it does in it's a prehistoric site. it's like a miracle. good. all the scientists already say it ought to have been destroyed long ago by salinity, in a plastic waste and rising sea levels every, it's an extraordinary sight money, but we're probably soon going to happen. other coastal regions plagued by these problems super em up in the original cosca cave is now in nature conservation site and off limits to visitors. unfortunately, it's threatened by climate change. scientists fear these precious works of art

could be completely underwater by the end of the 21st century. we stay in southern europe for, for a summer delicacy, snails, while this time of year, the spanish city of yada goes all out for this call in airy specialty. a 3 day festival is devoted to this now, which is prepared in numerous ways in a myriad of dishes. my favorite is with garlic now whilst now might not appeal to your palate, the residence of yada, and there are through the asthma about these small shelled creatures. might get you to change your mind. eating snails is easy. you eat them with a skewer. you stick it into the shell. that's the best part of the snail. a bit of aiyona lee,

a special man as with garlic. delicious weather with ham sausages. boron bay, yet at the biggest snell festival in the world. and yea, thou western catalonia snails are cooked in all kinds of ways. i, there are many recipes. everyone makes them their way up. during this 3 day event, 13 tons of smells are grilled, cooked, and of course eaten over $100.00 spanish snail. each in clubs take part, the one headed by an idea thus is named after the famed garlic mayonnaise. i already live up in a club has cooled thee i early fly. these are the flags, every club house. and each year we get a new band. we now have 26, it all started with my mother who would make home made our yardi yodi. she was

really good of it. 2 and that's why we got our name. if what if you eat snails with our yearly sources, that afforded no smell dishes complete without garlic, onions and olive oil. but naturally, every club has its own specific recipes to day and a yobbos as serving up a classic at what's known as the app like festival. that i thought it was nails allegory, monta with onions, vegetables, bake bacon and snails got up with and with a shot of canyon and flour to thicken the sauce, sat there last for the sauce. it's a real treat all mixed together. oh man, a few stance down florida's parcel from the front on club is master of the big pan . vegetables and garlic are already sizzling in sight. let the much buy

a yeah. we're cooking pie. yeah. with snails so much you add a bit of onions and pepper. we've all ready prepared to meet with you. put in chicken broth. and right, melissa, we call it pena. i lost him on time. yeah. meaning rice from the mountain. yeah, i cook at the same way, my mother and grandma did, but every one has their own method with my yeah that, that there are 14000 club with glee, our opinion members here, and pretty much everyone thinks their club recipe is the best that you have the season snails, otherwise they just don't taste good air. we've got cured pork chops, chicken legs and snails, shaniqua bacon rabbit and blood sausage and snails. mm hm. what i anything else? a shot of whiskey. keep it. this is a typical snail classic in lee. that was hold on with just a salt oil and a dash of black pepper. maybe that's it. i some use other spices, openness,

but that drowns out the flavor of the snail. yet of it close at maria vase is a co founder of the festival in either a city with around $135000.00 inhabitants. nowhere in the world are people as fond of snails as here. but i know not as if the tradition originated in the fields or get people armors had alabama, a simple metal dish with that bulls and would collect snails while they worked out . how about you about an equal fuel before lunch? indigo, they would then take a tray like this one will not let and put the snails on. i did i start a buyer and eat them with young men. and then i know been with you in 1979, i don't like the idea of a snail. festival was brought to light. this is my bounder metal from the knights of the order of the snails nowadays, snails are bread and dedicated farms. jose marcello runs when himself in or year

that after the animals hatch, he releases them. minimum scope. when it look in the 1st few days, we released them and to lush grass. then after week 3 we feed them serial flower. ms. nails are low in calories, bat, and collateral. yet they're rich in iron, russia, so they won't make you fat 0. got a bad part is the sauce you eat with us today, but not the snails themselves. like when you seen a thing, go to them, but in you that people aren't too worried about calories at the biggest smell festival in the world. all that counts is the taste. ah. and if you want to see more reports about food restaurants and recipes from around to europe, then check out our youtube channel. here's more of what you will find there. ah, delicacies, stories. enthusiasm doesn't the smell of amazing?

the best chef with their best tips, from meat dishes, to vague and diet, and all the recipe secrets. welcome to my well. europe's diversity is a smorgasbord. i live, i subscribe and enjoy d. w. food. the use of gold leaf in paintings and decorative arts and architecture dates back thousands of years. but it's becoming increasingly hard to find hand beaten gold leaf in today's day and age. and that's because this intricate method of production is a dying trade. for example, in venice, italy, in the 18th century, there were $300.00 so called gold beaters. today, however, there was only one family left there that is dedicated to this ancient tradition. ah, much of what glitters here, ease, indeed,

gold. for centuries, venice has flaunted its wealth with this precious metal. now very few craft men's shops are left that work gold by hand. the many goths so family runs one of the world's last gold beating shops under the name motto, barracka back he laura. great griffin. you don't really need that much strength for this work, though. it's all a question of technique and you got your technique actually helps you work with less effort for the mean of what the go. that's important because depending on how then the gold is supposed to end up muted on, it'll take anywhere from 50 minutes to 2 and a half hours to hammer it out. toyota and mazda, the purest $24.00 karat gold, is melted at over $1000.00 degrees celsius and cast as a small bar,

which by itself has a value of about $6000.00 euros. laura crystal and lingle this little gold gar is about 120 gramsci. depending on the thickness required of the gold leave. any more, we can make 80026000 pieces from it. they need a full year 1st, the gold is passed through a rolling mill several times. pressing it thinner each time. it's rolled into a long ribbon heated, over and over, and put through the mill again. with florida. go ahead and if the colors nice him yellow with lucky, you know, the gold is pure know c, v to the i city. just the hugh tends towards rational. you know, it's an alloy, know she sold it might then contain silver or a little copper info. as a dvd vega, i'm when the gold ribbon is several meters long. it's cut into length,

folded and cut again into little squares. sada many godsa lays these between sheets of parchment to separate them during the beating you've all your pocket consists of $330.00 less, but 1st they're beaten with a machine and then quartered once more, 5 of them. and then while they're worked with a hammer over them, they so the rough or the monkey let out both of them on the final step is the hammering. this is how gold leaf was made in venice a 1000 years ago. at that time there were no machines to help with the heavy work. christina, that is a hammer weighs 2 kilos. almost nothing to spend more than this one weighs more kilos, so it's a bit heavier. but for me, that's nothing for some of them. and it ain't kilos. well this one's pretty heavy to be down for the hammering produces thousands of these gossamer leaves. a single leaf wave barely as much as a hare. ellia nora men, a god. so hopes this age old craft may be passed on to the next generation alan

base. oh, it's a great responsibility because this very special work is in danger of dying out. and that's not a nice thought that this could one day just be forgotten for mileage. the weird pants. attic air force su out. bad that in arc restorer and gilder elizabeth, the mass on uses a great deal of moto better thought, but the laura's gold leaf in her workshop, it takes a steady hand and the right conditions to work with this delicate material. even a gentle breeze could ruin everything. shimoda the fittings said that difference between industrially produced and hand made gold leaf is enormous. the industrial gold leaf is much thinner and more fragile. though philip, it's really hard to do good work with the leaf tears easily. and in the end,

it just doesn't look as good as the hand made gold leaf. it isn't that the finale ankin 80 saying, ah, the angel, the top st. mark's company lay is among the works restored using gold leaf for mario. better about the logo. thanks to an age old handicraft, the queen of the adria attic shines on ah, freedom of expression and the ability to access information at any time without restriction is now possible here in germany. but of course, that wasn't always the case. in order to demonstrate what it's like to live in places where these freedoms are limited, a team from d, w developed a game called freedom, isn't free. you can play it directly on your smartphone. and this is how it works.

freedom isn't free, is a game that plays an an alternate reality in which germany has become a police state. after a massive power blackout. mia, a civil liberties activist, has vanished. play as receive a call for help that bask finding your friend mia. she's missing, after researching a murder case in berlin. the concept for this project, by deutsch bella, was to inform about topics such as oppression and human rights in a novel into act of way, but it unavailable. if you do, many people working at deutsch, vela have experienced living in an oppressive regime, fighting and they shared these with the project into in a game format. to con, you can transmit such an experience in a more intense way because the players contribute to the action interactively, long which makes it more immersive e d. m. as you want few sequences to try to find out what happened plays, communicate with a chat, thought named alissa on what's apple telegram, they send text messages to help solve the mystery and do research online. since the

internet is mostly of limits to alyssa if wouldn't i? it's kind of hit a, we didn't want to have an educational game that provides learning content directly really. but to have that happen more subliminally. in the conversation, you discovered that alyssa is the person, you're chatting with, chat a can't look for news articles and search engines, and what that she's in constant fear of being monitored leticia that she's afraid of the police watching her. what it is. so that subtly puts across what it's like to live under a repressive regime, dose valley permitted. but how do you turn an idea into a game? the d w t brought in gaming experts from d hiv game hub at berlin's university of applied sciences. they developed the game design and how to program the chap bots. ready the software uses artificial intelligence to interpret the plays in. so the interaction with

a list of the chat bought fuses natural as possible. ah. in this case, the immersion is very strong because it closely resembles using a mobile phone. it will be due chat every day. so it's part of daily life, and i think that's what's interesting about this project funded the message. i slips into this every day activity. i'm taking something you do all the time. but bringing you to a totally different situation. got a totally different narrative and different settings. that's what makes this approach so exciting and fascinating sun. the freedom isn't free project shows just how vital access to free information really is. but in a playful way. and if you want to learn about how to access restricted media around the globe, then check out our uncensored collection. not only does it look pretty cool, each piece comes with a special label containing specific instructions. just head over to our website to
