to variety of cost, so on this so this whole case, the movers, shake of visionaries and make us when binding the meaning of modern africa re max next on d w. now we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. a magic corner. check hot spot for food and some great cultural memorials to boot w travel off. we go. oh, inspiring innovation pushed in the envelope and spock in creative movements, africa. it's taking its rightful place on the world. say, ah, this. so we'll be talking to the move

a shake as visionaries and make as when bonnie, the meaning of modern africa. ah, i end up having to add this. is that the mag ah ah, with a on the thing the cradle of humankind, this leading world heritage sides allowed the says to embark on a journey away, it all began. what is believed to be the beginning of human kind. this area unravel hidden secrets and answers burning questions about origin a

ah, telling stories to furnish one thing, truces the components of my then design. pull back yeah. and few for sure. i have managed to strike a balance between creating beautiful home pieces on the ring. they call it that and creating lasting legacies. we made up with in to find out exactly how they do it and why it's important to check the about. the 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. it's matthew analogy, junior, him product design and pull back year explore the world of culture and culture. representations either model grid into designs using an array of colors takes to add material. each product is more than just a piece of furniture. we tower african theory, furniture, lace device furniture is inspired by african stories,

and heritage 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 college is a lot of cultures. really good luck because nothing is written down. and with what we do here, the ever 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 draws inspiration from modern and traditional african, hey style. some of the being cornrows originated from north africa right through to south, commonly done by women in the 1980 the things that we took from from the traditional haystack that takes just that we to return later into products through weaving or using fringes. so all of those, those aspects of the inspiration, texture,

color form, you know, all of the things we took those things and then we said, okay, great. but if you really want to design that, that was relevant and related to the modern time. these are the things that you would be we took that inspiration and we took the elements of one in the line and we put those things together. but it's like this constant thing of you trying to make these 2 things come to giving collaborate. me being a process engineer makes me approach my word differently, but i'm also created, you know, am i that? but i'm also like super practical. so when i designed it, ok, it looks great, but it is functional, you know, like because we know trying to design things that i just pretty think people in africa always been creating. i mean, they are amazing people who just been doing what they do. one of these creators is the piece will shine gay even award winning interior and

ready to design the st as he design ethos on culture, infusing storytelling into each piece and kind of m 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 one seeking to understand my culture. i said to myself, is one thing of really good at its design, and if i can use that to repose myself and find myself and find my calls and get 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 was like, yo, i'm going to find a way to celebrate, you know, modern furniture because i love going to naval design, but then put myself into it and put a lot of like the old african touch into it. and while that was happening, i would things would happen at home country and i would find

a way to tell these stories through the furniture. one such story being who tandal, which in the city language means love the diesel, create the server, which represents a couple of love embodied in traditional patterns. and here me to shapes seen on the facade of the server. a friend of mine was getting married and him and his partner had been in 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 the reason i say that was then i took elements of the love in terms of what love meant to them and then formulated 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 have that line that's within the server. and then what i did was i used your metric pectin from beadwork that represent the male and female. putting the mail on top to guide and protect her. and she's at the bottom perceived the route of the relationship. so this is the story that i formulate, you know,

using the 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 for years to come, the, the brand, it 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 to the storing you more special good 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 a little for them in and in a sense of stories and also so that they can see themselves in the history represented where they inspiration is derived from here or culture. the beauty of walls out home to pieces is that it can tell a story which holds

a deeper significance, creating a legacy that can be passed down from generation to generation ah . amuses in. can you look forward to an exciting form of transport that ignite a while traveling from a to p, a fight to behold an experience my touches take everyday travel. so oh, you level, ah, the theme is what guides us to do. what we want. actin the mattress is part of never abuse culture. when you get to the possible, 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 my name is muhammad. normally people call 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 work and was, i always wanted people to see what of them. but most of the time you do a converse, you take it to someone, maybe 2 or 3 people seats. 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 my thought to small designs. the 1st time they started they said it would take us matters. then they said bring the glassy on the outside but asked small things

because at that time the pull dinard testing was normally how we start. the glance comes with the vehicle. we assess it. if it has any body work, we 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. even did like a v p launch engine guy. that's when people are in knowing this. i just graffiti upset think because normally at that time if you did something, someone could not read though i like this had demonic things. and they be your cussing something the 1st stanza, my dad was there or not like now because at that time we never used to lou bodycote customization more to these, those music but not as like now doesn't entitled to bill them,

little to foster my putative, you under my 31st i did it on my car, i had a small total levine and 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 like 30 t v 's, 55 units that to lanes and that so that's how it started every day. busy and it gripped something different thing, maybe the board, the improving may be fits the kind of colors i'm doing, may be the kind of graffiti i'm doing. so every day i wanted to do something different, even if a modeling them as much as i used to do before. but i created of a trend in people every day try and do that innovative new kind of things with i was seated in forbes magazine. i think that was the biggest achievement. people look up to me. it has given people the moral that it doesn't matter who you

are, which, which i blue are all where you come from. you can do anything. i go everywhere, people know me. i've been good for that and being determined that one day i would make it today, i'm just saying the cradle of human kind, this leading world heritage side allows that it says symbolically the journey away . it began. teresa kimberly tommy gave an insight into what you can look forward to at the morrow. think 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 $53000.00 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 scene was established a few years off to 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, he see, 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 best. and so that be on disturbing the fossil sights and essentially this is just an area, a museum that we hope is an experience. so when you leave here, we hope that you leave with a 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 in dia, ah, creating a face to showcase history is no mean feat. in this instance,

the architecture is a feature of the architect and paid tomorrow. they paid a big part in the key design element. i could imagine this was such a huge task, but what are the client grief and how did she keep it? so the brief was because it's the side where 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 in 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 hide as much as possible the building that when you arrive you're just mom 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 condition is. and then when you come out on the other end, all of sudden you have a 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 taking you through a journey from time when you come to 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 way. for the 1st time, humans evolved from, from animals right outside 200 speed, right. as i said, it's really mine flowing, ah, ah, trying to say is an african architects and was recently named architects, althea in germany, is known for his innovative ideas and managed to infuse the spirits of africa as he is modern designs. let's take him out. london serpentine pavilion, the new parliament building in the mean, west africa, and tippett rise art. so to pavilion in the u. s. state of montana. these are just a few of the unique buildings designed by berlin based architect the closest kimberly griffey hina pseudo. i must be due from this architecture must not own evil, fearless, pacific need and owner,

but also inspire. yeah. did were mentioned only inspired people are capable of having visions and being energized to see them through that so. so become, does it, does your them on suzette? so will fiscal born and gondo burkina. faso moved to germany at 20? he found it is very an architecture firm and 2005 and a day has 12 full time employees full cisco's architectural designs like beneath new national assembly, building or inspired by the local culture. the impressive temper structure under construction since april draws on west africa's pullover tree tradition. thus, b shrier did tots of people looking to gather mention would look for a tree. ma voice was um, uncommon for one cannon ball. ideally, a large tray besson and an awesome book that provides plenty of shade which cleaned

it. my com sous um, you get together, sit down and discuss issues affecting the community, all village off dest office, and thus, in symbolizes true democracy, corsi docile. i used this as inspiration for beneath parliament building solomon housing. been in close this kitty began studying architecture abilene's 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 you really like each project showed up and decided somewhat naively, to build a school monday night. and i did it graded and it worked out i convinced the local community telling them we can do it. we bought it from clay is nobody believed in a scene. i'm so emotionally attached to those buildings keyboard. the design used

local building techniques and resources. the school is largely constructed from clay, as the splendid roof and special windows keep the buildings. interior pleasantly cool. the design earned forces 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. you know, i went back home and built that school on food, which was club. and i realized you pack your bags and go back out to them. then you can build many more schools and other things today. but luckily i had great teachers that changed my mind that 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 german theater director christoph shinkansen. the

intercultural site is still under construction. full cisco signature is a parent in the roof designs. he also drew a plan through the new kit institute. building into car, senegal were building will begin in 2021. jesse has also designed many more schools across the african continent. he says he feels a sense of social responsibility to do so. then he can adam kleinman dos in africa when i construct a school in a small african village, vicky toy. i want pupils to be able to dream. so salary and think beyond the immediate social confines, even to vaguely 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 bankers. buildings must make us feel at home, 0 and safe,

off name and distribute. once you're born food, dine, 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. ah, after a long, hard day, what's better than it shrink? the trains in ghana additional spirits has become a theater at the modern social scene. this is stacey to my brother. i am standing on the street one of the busiest suburbs that are crack ghana for centuries. the low closing gun is still does have live locally known as a courtesy, as a strong asap tis which makes drinking a bit difficult. ah,
