were given an exclusive tour by his great, great grand nephew and get to see what remains hidden. a they want to know what makes with love and binding thing that way. but i'm not even allowed to watch my own car and everyone with later holes and every day getting are you ready to meet the german then join me, right? just do it on d. w with, i'm standing in front of the house, nelson mandela moved into all thing is released from prison in 1994, i guess at this house and food at all. my you, if president, oprah winfrey, magic johnson and now you could pick it says, welcome to century monday le. in find out how one

either uses unusual material to create beautiful and haunting piece of travel with us to the city of peggotty. the capital. everyone does take us around the city and then what the latest and hospital fashion produced in malawi, in on my end of it and you know, watching actor mac a m a d was home re imagined and now a sensory for reflection. it's only fitting that we acknowledge the visionaries behind the spaces that we inhabit. vanessa and his design team from the i t like maurice says, has for more than 3 decades crafted, beautiful, sustainable, and functional buildings. in. ringback ringback

to welding and you know, our truck for visual team leader and finish down the motion borne architect and his team follow the architecture of the we visual addresses architecture. we always try to see things on how it's going to integrate people, their experience, and improving the quality of life and bringing your mind to forward. i would say on malicious people can experience visual architecture in many ways. and the team has built and design several important buildings in the design of the old passenger import. usually aesthetic bus terminal for the redevelopment and denial of integration square. and the central market is also under the full initiative. victor should be working at the survey to the people, to offer picture that we need to address in the present and future maricia anyway.

how to think over the next 3050 years. we have a big challenge to rethink of how we will be building. if i take example of the very spot where we all enjoy is really about transforming something which had no significant use more and i sold into something which is vibrant bistro non inform me, enjoy interior design and speaks of an eclectic aesthetic that mixes african and motion of the stick expressions that celebrates the sharing of art, music and music flavors. we've short case through design intelligent design, small design. how we integrated things which were meaningless in a new concept in the new design. enjoy is only one example on how visual creates lively public spaces. another is that has to do fancy to release the french

institute was designed quite a number of years ago. and my partner guide was the lead article that was the very idea was to express that concept of connection to the environment, to the context and connecting people really ling emphasis on the of bridging cultures. so that was the very essence of that project. once you add the meaning, there is a, an experience that you have with building their emotions, their feelings. it's also about accessibility, visually accessible, physically accessible on the picture is about awakening. those type of experience so far you experience something great. i believe that makes it a great architecture. i maricia has about 300 years of history from the very 1st people from lising, the island,

the french period, the bridge period, dutch, and then come a period where mercia felt really transforming itself. and that period is as from the post independence to date. so motion architecture is quite to bring. we have one specific definition, creating an architecture that works within the new notion. i'm context chat engine . still use your money, choosing prices, buildings like the regions 1st scenario. ah, it is the project which is quite unique to complexity. one foot of its overall surface area is dedicated to technical spaces. so that was a starting point to the stage. how to translate those technical complexities into design. that was one of the biggest challenge, how a building which is so functional, yet to translate it into something which is an experience of what is about i

think it's unique in the world because we are really showcasing how marshall has been discovered disco rings on the moon area, and then moving up his discovery, also what we call the inland biodiversity. and then we take the deep dive in the ocean, which actually covers a huge territory. we are talking of $2300000.00 to me to a square of my re time area. and the scenario is actually presenting the species that surround the it's not just a building which is designed by video or d. c. u is actually a dream that we had the privilege to bring to reality is the dream of mr. michelle stephen. from the cruise group or this year is also about the dialogue of how the water for the portraits interconnect, the city the plas dome,

which is the main water front spot. and it goes up to the passenger piece. it is also a dialogue to inviting people an experience of what mercia is about, about our origins, where we come from, where we currently are, and sharing that with the rest of the work from hi session on the runway to ready to where leo phones as elegant designs emulate the contemporary african, it's personalized to face and people who wear her gum and all is still coffee and elegance and lily. there's always more under the surface of her design, the f one still love fashion. she uses fashion to speak, i believe in the future. i believe in fashion, i believe in ad leaving you do to designers like

allow he's known for an excellent tailoring and fashioned design. let's have a peak behind the scenes and meet this visionary fashion. queen leader also is a mother, a friend, and a business woman. she is a fashion designer for malawi. she loves fashion. she speaks through fashion. and through all the time i've been wanting to contribute something to the world. after finding out the reasons why, why we never did world in the fashion, and yet we have very creative people in africa with very elegant for lilian funds. so launched brand in 2005 the award winning design has come a long way from using her 1st machine on a veranda to showcasing her unique designs. an international runway really stepped

in and created a mentorship program for young and talented designers to build a local industry. this is part of her 100 year plan. kind of their plan is all about inspiring will be basis. of course, if you can transfer skills to the next image, everything there to where it has to remind us about what you need to do every day. so this is actually lined inside the 100 year plan. why we need to work together, why we need to be to get there. why, who we are under equalizing, what we are africans, and why we are african bridge to reach with in 2016 little funds was tucked up and created a mentorship program which has grown into a 100 year to date. she has influenced the careers of over 40 designer

doing puddle these 100. give me a call that 1st i did not know how to design, but the mentor also has me. and now i know how to gauge my code, and i'm home on the gills to be part of the plan you've seen by the passionate individual learning now to beat even them. so to create from here and give them the right information, the right attitude, inspire them, will motivate them, will transfer skills. what can we become with the 100 year plan and her hi class fashion and wants to we shape the future of african fashion designs, where the future of african fashion is going to be more expressive and something that you don't design. now, it's not about designing, just designing by designing to actually telling

a story and changing their mindset. little fun, so has just returned from rwanda, where she showcase the latest collection on a successful runway at one of the most fictitious fashion shows on the collection. bye bye. hey, who is the black? some are ready to read the stories about shipping. that summarize the takes a lot of patients. but then what, what coming by asked is that, how do those people manage to succeed, becoming, come to understand that life you have to be inspired and also to, to see how we can also take that and put it into our life because of her investment and not just the future fashion, but the youth earlier on the fashion warrior from allowing will be influencing african for at least the next 100 years.

ah, i'm standing in a bit of history. this is to be nelson mandela's home and now a retreat, allowing for reflection, healing, and honoring him as an iconic figure. it's room and space here represents a thought provoking experience inspired by met deavers live, the architectural team pioneer, the re envisioning of the face. making sure that all the important elements, women paid what changes did you incorporate into this space? and was it a bit intimidating, considering that i kind of figure on some of the, i think it's a perfect word for it. i mean, it's quite a task to be involved in creating a space that belong to session iconic figure, one of the most famous people in the world and kind of father of our nation. if you think about it differently wasn't some of the things but exciting at the same time . and with changes, the brief was, was a brief we, we had to create

a space that was a home, not a museum, not a hotel link, all of us together, but still have that home. he feels as it was his home. so we tried to limit the changes we had to make also with being a heritage building, there wasn't a lot we could do on the outside. so the new additions is made to purposely stand out. so you can see where the old was in the us and then creating a bit more of a contemporary feel. depo wasn't a, was contagious person in the spices. so we had to create luxury but also just turn it down quality, but let us more. ah, so let me take from the original building was basically at the point of being contained, sadly it was empty for a while and it was cracking and falling apart. so we had to come in and save sections of it. and we had to demolish the whole back part of it, obviously to add in to create a space where you could have 9 rooms, but the most untouched basis is the front, the thoughtful heritage purposes. and then the 3 bedrooms in the front ends which

are the original visions. in fact, maybe spending right now used to be the passage grange, the bedroom. so we kept one of the wall. yes. so you can see that the medication of where used to be and then medieval as mine, bedroom being probably the most untouched. ah. so go through the different themes in the room. absolutely, i mean we were lucky enough to be the nice it's a whole range of work done by john mayer about the best last and to pick certain your us from way, who's all the way through to going back home as it's name actually. and we came up with the idea of actually linking each of these paintings to a specific bigion. how did you keep the essence of mandela without sending the space in some museum was actually hotter than you would think? because you have to resist the urge of clustering your face everywhere. when you come to your home, you've got your family photos, but you also want to try and yourself that we had to your away from making it too obvious in that regard. and we had to do

a lot of research as well. we were lucky that the foundation help us a lot. see the spaces, the inhabitants tell me about the art and the tape of the space. i'm glad you asked a question that's, that's one of the things i'm most proud of in this space. we were lucky enough to be, as i said earlier, the natives are quite a few artifacts. there were actual items that belong to me at the bar, but a gift that we've given teams through the years. and all of these when the voltage and the foundation and the foundational. so i agree that it's a, be a party for these things to just spend the voltage in the same. so we were lucky enough to incorporate them into the space to help us to tell the story and things even personal elements like quincy jones read the score specifically from the book . and we're lucky enough to have it up in the boy actually framed in the way it was given to him as a gift. so this, this quite a lot of rich and interesting stories and things you can find with these artifacts and automates throughout the whole space that actually belong to the man himself

and not just copies. and the real thing. what can visitors experienced when they come to the sanctuary? monday they can expect experience. i think it's experience and i won't forget special every time i still love looking in every time. learning about the story and learning about the man, the history. enjoy the wonderful food that the restaurant has. it was actually me of the bus, personal cook who school works in the kitchen, who created the menus with the staff. yes. it's a true experience. but then going back to what the spices and things to be, which is the spice for affliction. it's not a is a garden as a space where you can look back, think about demand. think about yourself, your place in this country in this continent. and then feel inspired to move forward and just make a grand ah, the power deal is built runway success through they shoot. business takes us to some must experience faces in the beautiful city. ah, hi,

we are old and given and we're happy to take you on a tour of gully. i'll beautiful city the city on solomon hill. the is old and kevin were both born in kigali, which is today home to more than 1300000 people and rapidly growing land locked rwanda is making great strides and it's capital hope to one day become the singapore of africa. ah, as you might have guessed, the 2 young woman have a serious passion for shoes. the designers started their business in 2013 and quickly became known for their unique and quintessentially african style. now where i was or thought in the city that we're very proud of with that at the store as really small and 20 somethings. good me to is these big we,

i did all these 7 months ago. they're stylish shoes or even sold on line. so you can buy them anywhere around the world. they currently employ 50 people just outside of kigali, as well as numerous into making an impact is key for the entrepreneurs. as with many other african countries, thousands moved to the city, dreaming of a better job. and a better life. but the challenges that come with organization are big. many still don't have access to electricity and tap water. kevin and his old take us to a local market where they like to buy fruits to godaddy, why beautiful city is going in changing. so much and so bad in a very short period of time as much as we are growing up in a very happy everybody would like to play a part and making sure that nobody's last. how'd it says the calling for i to renew

as to make to the create environments and jobs for people who need isn't people who don't have as many opportunities as, as some of us have had eagerly isn't just known for it's perfectly manicured, gardens and pristine streets. but also for being a very safe city. rwanda's government continues to push for a quick transformation into the modern age. but critics say the development has been achieved. i think spence of individual rights like freedom of expression, the country has come a long way since the horrific genocide 25 years ago. they could gaudy genocide memorial here is to remind people never again the genocide against literacy in 1994 was a horrific story. but it's thought of who we are as rwandans as a young generation, we're very motivated to move forward to always remember, but move forward and do things together in order to reach out to our full potential

energy. in this he is palpable new shops and restaurants pop up every other month. kevin and his old love to take a break at one of 2 galleys, many cafes where you can treat yourself to a tasty, a rebecca coffee, coffee for me. let's get started. i get so much energy drinking coffee. well, one thing's for sure. these to didn't miss a beat on our, to a through kigali. we end at the convention center, which today is the city's most prominent landmark. and the perfect spot for a selfie county is not only a fit of students in there so much more common for yourself. as i'm with lou, the vision of one person has the power to transform, not only they live,

but all around them long. it is literally, it's heading trash into trace of creating beauty by using this god, the plastic and giving it and you live the message in my office there is simple. if i can take blood in time for me into odd anything as possible. born and raised in roof was in a towel, manet, nibble's delays. he's an artist who takes his back links to be at the met the pains using plastic he's grounds is rubbish, piled the cool thing, the soft plastic from various brands that have created plastic way. it's use way of giving back by taking the plastic from the he's able to take it out of the system. as an artist of all is believe that i have a responsibility. that whatever message that one put across to date it is not on the for today is for future generation. monday,

any uses waste made of plastic. he cuts it into little pieces and uses a heat gun to place them onto the canvas, creating sentences, and stuck to which i'm changing phones and i lose. i'm currently spending on my pain and very, very useful. this was to me, which is rubbish, to other people out there. and you know, it actually extends the idea of free use. whatever that we have instead of producing more. please dan john curia in your hand is big is the break. taking walls of faces, mostly children's face to stare at, you some behind some behind toilet the new stories behind them all. and they're in the midst of it. armed with a heat gun is then use make when i started, i remember, well it was the 19th of september 901. it was

a day where i picked up my very 1st about the, you know, for me to say, look, let me try and do something out of this. but i wanted to do something that will make some kind of contribution to the web. something that will make people look at some of these things in a slightly different way. instead of me, owing to an art shop, i go to linfield and look at what could possibly be protect into my student employee. me used, you know, in a creative way. the use of a hip gun in my work, you know, it's something that i have discovered as i go along. it's not an easy process. you know, i mean when i started, it was a struggle because, you know, i could, i was spinning myself quite a lot. and in my case, because i'm cheating, you know, i prefer to use a more dense or any type of plastic, like, like this one. it stretches clayton as there's been a lot of oil in this plastic, you know, it gets much better for me in my way lots and lots of church is being

a recycler in this to do every month. you can look at the corner of it where of what, all my materials you know, literally is decked at the corner. because what happens is in one otwell, there is usually, you know, lots of places that i need, you know, for me to realize that out with, you know, 2 is fine. i mean, it's not only just one or 2 plus it's, it's everything plastic. so you really need to collect as much as i can, you know, that's why we are doing that on a daily basis. you know, to make sure that we bring in as much material as possible to the student. my pieces are displayed in so many places, and many museums have caught my eye twigs in south africa and overseas, particularly in germany and the u. s. 3, he is workable delays. he wants to mediate and communicate hope he's convinced that scene he's works and he's history. people are able to realize that in south africa,

there are many opportunities to and that it is possible to create a better life and a career out of now. making i would enable people see pain, stay alive, and kind to be something positive to the world. the quantity one is trying to drive home. yeah. is that the amount of plastic that is floating in the ocean? it is, it is like an island. you know where we are in the program because we are the ones who actually eat domestic we see in our oceans today. so i think somehow, you know, netflix stand up at the stand up and do something. and remember, it is not only about me alone as an artist creates an odd, but it is also for other people to see opportunities. and if i can transform plastic into art,

you can do it. thank you. but turning in don't forget to check us out on social media. let's see again next time. ah ah ah ah, with
