the meaning of modern africa. ah, i end up having to add, this is after meg. ah, ah ah, the saying the cradle of humankind, this leading world herridge had sides allows vivid, says to embark on a journey away. it all began. what is believed to be the beginning of human kind. this area and grab were hidden secrets and answers burning questions about origin. ah,

the talent furnish while true to the components of modern design and proven and few 1st have managed to strike a balance between creating beautiful home pieces on the ring. they call it and creates a last thing, legacies. we made up with them to find out exactly how they do it and why it's important. in south africa is home to some of the world's most stunning scenery. beyond the breathtaking environment, the country is bold with colored periods. diverse cultures, traditions, and people. international banality, junior, product design and pulled back year explore the role of culture and culture. representations in a modern grid to design using an array of colors takes his ad material. each product is more than just a piece of furniture. we tower african theory, furniture, least furniture, inspired by african stories inherited and culture. and i think more than anything

we endeavor to tell stories of african culture of it being not forgotten. i feel like, because we don't right thing though many like make a lot of african cultures. a lot of cultures really good luck because nothing is written down. and with what we do here, the need to really just trying to preserve what we can, the way that we can keeping within the fundamentals of her design philosophy. one of importance most recent collection calls inspiration from modern and traditional african, hey style. some of these being cornrows originated from north africa right through to south comedy done by the women in the 1980 the things that we took from from the traditional historic that takes just that we took and we translated into products through weaving, you know, using fringe so all of those aspects of the inspiration to color

for you know, all of the things we took those things and then we said, okay, great. but if you really wanted to design a change that was relevant in relates to the modern time, these are the things that you would be. we took that information and we took the elements of one in the line. and we put those things together. but it's like the constant being of you trying to make these 2 things come together and collaborate me being a process engineer makes me approach my word different. but i am also a creative. you know, i'm a my that, but i'm also like super practical. so when i design it, ok, it looks great, but it is functional because we know trying to design things that i just pretty think people in africa always been creating. i mean, they are amazing. probably people who just been doing what they do. one of these creators, it's a visa, shawn gay, even award winning interior and really to design the centers. he's design ethos on

culture, infusing storytelling into each page, using cars and 6 to convey the story. designed to me is the solution of a lot of the problems that we have. i say that because i thought that i was losing a lot of myself in terms of seeking to understand my culture. i said to myself, if there's one thing i'm really good at its design, and if i can use that to repose myself and find myself and find my causing it to know more, then i'm obviously doing something right to design. and i realize that it has such a strong passion for furniture and i was like yo, i'm going to find a way to celebrate, you know, modern furniture because i. 3 live in the navy design, but then put myself into it and put a lot of like with both african touch into it. and while that was happening, i would things would happen at home culturally. and i would find a way to tell the story through the furniture. one such story being who tandal,

which in the city language means love the diesel create to the table, which represents a cup of love, embodied in traditional patterns and tear me to shapes seen on the facade of the fever. a friend of mine was getting married and him and his partner had been and this beautiful relationship that had a lot of ups and downs them losing the kid and still being together and holding it down. and i just loved hall on this day. love was and, and i say that was then i see elements of the love in terms of what love meant to them. and then a formulate these patterns that, you know, love is a journey and it has no thought it has no end when you together. and that's why you had that line that's within the server. and then what i did was i use your metric pectin from feed work. the drip is in the mail and the female putting the mail on top to guide and protect her. and she's at the bottom proceeds the roots of the relationship. so this is the story that i formulate, you know, using that geometry. i see so and impose designs are created using,

made me feel and what the patient is to make long lasting pieces that maintain its look and hope for years to come. the, the brand it is is i don't want you to come and buy another survey. again, it's about having this one server and then you protect it and love it because you storing your more special goods in their own. for me personally with my son being both belgian and african, it's very important for me to know that he belongs to king. i really wanted to create them in and in the sense of stories and also so that they can see themselves in the history representing where they inspiration is derived from here or culture. the beauty of walls without home to pieces is that it can tell us story which holds a deeper significance, creating

a legacy that can be passed down from generation to generation ah amuses and can you look forward to an exciting form of transport that ignite while traveling from a to be a size of the holes and then my husband take every day i have a whole new level. ah, the theme is what guides us to do. what we want act in the mattress is part of near obvious culture. when you get to the past or you just have to wait for that, i can't think of any other place in the world with such art when they are transport vehicle. i never thought i was going to become this from us.

oh. d d d with his mom had normally people called mammography because of the job i've been doing since the 19 ninety's. so my work, his graffiti body shop and everything about cars and mortal bikes. when i started, i started on canvas. doing cameras was not giving me that pleasure. which, you know, i, every time i used to do a conference, i always wanted people to see what of them. but most of the time you do, conversely, take it to someone, maybe 2 or 3 people see it. that's really good. they deal. should they play this on? cause it was cars are moving canvas, so that's when i started just doing his hands on matter to small designs. the foster may study, they said it would take us in said matter to them, they said they'd bring the graffiti on the outside but of small things because at

that time to pull the nord to sting was ah, normally how we start. the glance comes with the vehicle. we assess it if there's anybody work with do it. there's somebody, some customers, they're very crazy customers. know you have to differentiate, get a crazy customer. he tells you, okay, do what you want me and did like a via p logins all day, the same people. so then knowing that this, i just graffiti abstract think because normally at that time if you did something, someone could not lived there or like this had demonic things. and maybe you're cussing something the 1st stanza, my dad was there or not like now because at that time we never used to luke woodcock. customization. lot of these, those music, but not as like now doesn't and federal government. the 1st image purity viewing

them at 1st they did it on my car. i had a small thought, i live in. i put it into an inch on the dashboard. people are shocked at that time . it doesn't look like that. you see like today, am i to can have you been accepted t v's 55 units that 2 liens. and that so that's how he started every day. i wanted grid, something different thing. maybe the board, the improving may be fits the kind of colors i'm doing, maybe the kind of graffiti i'm doing. so every day i wanted to do something different, even if i'm not doing them as much as i used to do before. but i created up a trend and people every day try and do set innovative new kind of things. with steve, i was seated in forbes magazine. i think that was the biggest assessment. people look up to me, it of giving people the moral that it doesn't matter who you are, which, which table you are all where you come from. you can do anything. i go every people

normally. i then good for that and being determined that one day i would make it today i'm visiting the cradle of human kind. this leading world heritage side allows symbolically the journey away. it began. teresa can you tell me, gave an insight into what you can look forward to at the mirage in this, in the cradle of human kind form, part of what is known as the fossil harmony side of south africa. and this is an area of about 53000 cases where we have an abundance of fossil domains found stating back to about 4000000 years. and kind of gives us a story of who we are as humans and origins in africa. so the matter being visit the same, so it was established a few years off. the cradle area was declared

a unique school and he seems it was established so that he could bring the discoveries, the science, the importance of evolution, and what we found in south africa every south african as well as the people all over the world. because at the end of the day, this is our, she'd history i'll, she'd hated this. it is something of national pride and something that everyone should have access to. so the matter of being visit was established just up the road from the dean. so that be on disturbing the fossil sights and essentially this is just an area, a museum that we hope is any experience. so when you leave here, we hope that was lasting memory of what you will learn inside this beautiful building. and also so that you get the knowledge that the scientists have access to this dice ah, creating a face to showcase history is no mean feat. in this instance, the architecture is

a feature of the journey. i could take some pe tomorrow, a big part in the key design element. i could imagine this was such a huge task, but what was the client grief and how cute this. so the brief was because it's the side when human beings were 1st discovered this, the brief was how to interpret that inability. so can we pick out those back to the past and imagine what the world would have been like in those days. in this instance is about telling the origins of humanity and it's an african story because everybody originated in africa. they spread all over the world and we want to tell that story. and of course, there were factors that you had to consider considering the scale of the project. what was i think the biggest thing, i mean you put a whole conference and you was to hire as much as possible the building that when you arrive, you just see the mouth and you don't know what it is. and then as you get closer to

it, you realize that you can actually go inside it. once you're inside, then you go down into the boatright into kind of, into the depths of the which is where the submission. and then when you come out on the other end, all of sudden you have the beautiful view that you see out here. but you don't quite know where you are. then as you come out and go back to the building, totally different from the other side. and it's kind of meant to look like more futuristic with the other one was more looking back. so it's kind of take you through a journey from time. when you come out, you realize that you're back in today's world and possibly in the future. and possibly in the wild places like the cradle of human kind. so important i think important because the teachers lessons about where we come from. not many people know that this part of the world just outside chance big has got some of the oldest fossil human fossils. and so this really is where human beings were born. this is

where for the 1st time human evolved from, from animals right outside johannesburg. right. as i said, this very gets the really mind blowing from the sarah is an african architects and was recently named architects of the year in germany. is known for his innovative ideas and managed to infuse the spirits of africa and see of modern designs. take him out. london, serpentine pavilion, the new parliament building in the mean, west africa, and hip it rise art. so to pavilion in the u. s. date of montana. these are just a few of the unique buildings designed by berlin based architect. of course it's killing liberty. hina is pseudo honest, but do from this architecture must not own evil, fearless pacific need and on, but also inspire. yeah. did. mentioned the only inspired people are capable of

having visions and being energized to see them through that so. so become, does it, does your m once who's etc who fiscal born in gondo burkina faso moved to germany at 20. he found it is very, an architecture firm and 2005 and the day has 12 full time employees. facilities. architectural designs like beneath new national assembly building are inspired by the local culture. the impressive temper structure under construction since april draws on west africa. pullover tree tradition, thus be shipped to tulsa. people looking to gather mention would look for a tree. ma voici smitherman common fort vaughan. can i nimble ideally a large tree besson and an orson ball that provides plenty of shade which cleaned it? my. com, susanna, you get together, sit down and discuss issues affecting the community. all bellagio installs us and

thus is in symbolizes true democracy. kersey does well. i used this as inspiration for benita parliament building melamine house and ben. hostess kitty began studying architecture april ins, technical university in 1995. as a student, he launched a funding raising campaign for a primary school in his home village of condo. in burkina faso. it was completed in 2001 before his graduation to schuler, lashonda hammer. as of yet the school project was fantastic. if he really la, each project showed up and decided somewhat naively, to build a school medina and i did it while he had it. as it walked out, i convinced the local community telling them we can do it. we bought it from guys. nobody believed in housing. i'm so emotionally attached to these buildings.

keyboard design use local building techniques and resources. the school is largely constructed from clay, a suspended roof, and special windows. keep the buildings interior pleasantly cool. the design earned full says killing a prestigious architectural award. though at this stage he was considering quitting university in wonder the norman, i was basically studying architecture to learn how to built vendors during my degree. if not, i went back home and built that school on flemish vasqua and i realized you pack your bags and go back out of school and then you can build many more schools and other things today. but luckily i had great teachers that changed my mind after they convinced him to stay on and finish his degree. soon after full, cisco hate founded his own architectural firm realizing numerous projects around the globe. many of them in africa, like this oper village in idea hatched in collaboration with late term, a theater director. christoph shinkansen. the intercultural

a site is still under construction. just a signature is apparent in the roof designs. he also drew up plans for the new kid to institute building into car senegal were building will begin in 2021. kathy has also designed many more schools across the african continent. he says he feels a sense of social responsibility to do so. anything i'm glad, in dos in africa, when i construct a school in a small african village, vicky toy, i want pupils to be able to dream so solemn and think beyond the immediate social confines. isn't you correctly that way? they may hatch ideas of how to improve their society. so that's what i call inspiration. and it was all architecture must fulfill a social burgers. buildings must make us feel at home, 0 and safe off name and as of yet once you're born food dying,

he's happy to share his architectural expertise in 2017 because this kelly began giving classes at munich technical university. and also teaches at the famous harvard graduate school of design. oh, after a long, hard day, what's better than it shrink? the trains in ghana, traditional spurts has become a pizza at the modern social scene. this is stacey i. i am studying on you of course street, one of the busiest suburbs that are cracked, ghana, for centuries, the local thing going on is still does have live locally known as a courtesy, as a stronger sub test which makes drinking a bit difficult. ah,
