from young reformer to god in memory of benedict to 60 in 45 minutes on d. w. sometimes books a more exciting than real life. raring to read. oh. what if there's no escape? w literature list laundry, german st. awe inspiring, innovation pushed in the envelope and spoke in creative movements. africa is taking its rightful place on the world, said ah, on this. so we'll be talking to the move a shake of business and make as when bonnie,

the meaning of modern africa i end up having to add this is that 3 meg who they under the saying the cradle of humankind, this leading world heritage site allows visit, 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,

to furnish wealth through the components of my then design and proven. and i 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. check the news south africa is home to some of the world's most stunning scenery beyond the breathtaking environment. the country is bold with color diverse cultures, traditions, and people. international knowledge engineer 10 product design, the pullback year, explosive, all of culture and culture. representations in modern pretty to designs, using an array of colors takes his ad materials. each product is more than just a piece of furniture. we tower african theory, their furniture loose device furniture is inspired by african stories and heritage and culture. and i think more than anything we endeavor to tell stories of african

conscious of it being 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. busy with what we do here, the need to really just. busy trying to preserve what we can, the way that we can keeping within the fundamentals of her design philosophy. one of importance, most recent collections called inspiration from modern and traditional african hairstyle. 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 picture

for you know, all of those things. we took those things and then we said, okay, great. but if you really wanted to design a change that was relevant and related 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 this constant being of you trying to make these 2 things come together and collaborate me being a process engineer makes me approach my word differently. but i am also a creator. now, am i that? but i mostly 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 st as he design ethos on

culture, infusing storytelling into each page using 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, 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 was like, yo, i'm going to find a way to celebrate, you know, modern furniture because i love 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 institutional patterns and tear me to shape seen on the facade of the server. 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 us. the 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 a 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 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 be so ad impose designs are created using,

made me feel and would be 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 can. it's about having this one server and then you protect it and love it because it's during 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 a little 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 wall out 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, yes, as in can you look forward to an exciting form of transport that ignites sets in your own while traveling from a to b, a sites if you hold an experience my touches take every day, however, oh, you level, ah, the theme is what guides us to do what we want. actin the mattress is part of now ruby's 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

ah. d lindsey's mom had no money, people calling them or glitzy 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 motor bikes. when i started, i started on canvas. doing cameras was not given me that pleasure, which, you know, i, every time i used to do a conference, i was wondering people to see what i've done. but most of the time you do a converse, you take it to someone, maybe 2 or 3 people see that's really good. they deal. should they play this on cars? because cars are moving canvas. so that's when i started just doing his hands on my thought to small designs. the foster may study, they said it would take us in said matter to them, they said they bring the graffiti on the outside. but small things,

because at that time the pull dinner testing was normally how we start, the glands comes with the vehicle. we assess it. if there's anybody work, we do it. there's somebody, some customers, they're very crazy customers. no, you have to differentiate, get a crazy customer. he tells you, okay, do what you want. even did like a via p logins on guy. that's when people say annoying this. i just graffiti upset think because normally at that time if you did something, someone could not live 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 lou bodycote customization more to these, those music but not as like now doesn't and federal builder. and that was the 1st

im i put a tv on 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 or shocks at that time. it doesn't look like that. you see like today, how much can have you been like 35 is 55 units that to lanes and that time that's how he started. every. busy then that grid, something different thing, maybe the board, the improving may be fits the kind of colors i'm doing really kind of graffiti, i'm doing. so every day i want 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 in people every day try and do set innovative new kind of things with i was seated in forbes magazine. i think that was the biggest assessment. people look up to me. it has given people the moral that it doesn't matter who you are, which, which table you are all where you from. you can do anything. i go as

a full 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 the bulk of the journey away. it began teresa, can you tell me, gave an insight into what you can look forward to at my ripping this into the trail 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, to south africa, as well as the people all over the world. because at the end of the day, this is our, she'd history, 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. 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 in dice, ah, creating a face to showcase history is no mean feat. in this instance, the architecture is

a feature of the journey architect pay tomorrow. a big part in the key design element. i could imagine this was such a huge task, but what does the client brief and how acute this? so the brief was because it's the side when human beings with us discovered this, the brief was how do we 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 was to hire as much as possible the building that when you arrive, you just see the small 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 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 through 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 teacher 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 really even been born. this is way for the 1st time humans evolved from,

from animals right outside your home to speak. right. as i said, it's really mine flowing ah, ah, trying to sell a 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. is he of modern designs? let's take him out. london serpentine pavilion the new parliament building in the mean, west africa and tip 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 closest killing rubric behind if pseudo, honest withdrew from this architecture must not own evil, fearless pacific need and all that. 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 full 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, pullover tree tradition that us be shipped to tots, or people looking to gather mention would look for a tree ma voice. this was um, uncommon port one. can i nimble ideally a large tray besson and an awesome book that provides plenty of shade captain, exclaimed my. com susanna, you get together, sit down and discuss issues affecting the community, all village of dst, office,

and dust in symbolizes true democracy course he does well. i used this as inspiration for benita parliament, building parliament house and been in courses. kitty began studying to texture 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 dash one to hummer. as if, if the school project was fantastic, if you really like each project showed up and decided somewhat naively, to build a school medina and i did it while he did. 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 those buildings. keyboard. the 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 for cisco. hey, a prestigious architectural award. though at this stage he was considering quitting university in wonder norman. i was basically studying architecture to learn how to built, vanished during my degree and i went back home and built that school on for miss vasqua. and i realized you pack your bags and go back home. sure. 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 8 founded his own architectural firm, realizing numerous projects around the globe. many of them in africa, like this oper, village in idea, hatched and collaboration with late term, a theater director. christoph shinkansen. the intercultural

a site is still under construction for cisco signature is apparent in the roof designs. he also drew up plans for the new get 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. anything 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 it into 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 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 standing on the you of course street, one of the busiest suburbs that are cracked gonna potentially to low closing gonna this still does have live locally known as i said that she has a strong asap taste which makes drinking a bit difficult. ah,
