the landscape design is by t.s. studios, and they are here today if you have any questions after the presentation. this design is really a park-like design that's designed to evoke the tidal marshes of the area. cut down into the landscape and then bridges across the swales to connect the pedestrian paths. the main residential courtyard just for the tenants, and in the foreground is bridge view way and in between, the between space, community garden i'll talk more about in the next slide. and one other thing that's special, it's all on grade, so it's an opportunity to have a large amount of trees planted here, which is often unusual in multi-family. so, here is the ground floor landscape plan, highlighted in red is the fencing. so the courtyard once again, it is the main residential courtyard, the only entries into the courtyard are through the building. it is only for the building residents. it's a connection of multiple different pathways, as well as different gathering spaces and seating areas. you'll see there i

and he sort of started landscape architecture in the united states. so frederick olmstead had worked with george vanderbilt in the past and worked with the vanderbilt family a number of times in the past. he was the preeminent person to have an estate like this laid out. he was also at the end of his career. i think that means he didn't have anything left to prove. he could bring in all of his experiences and leave his ego out of it a little bit and paint this really broad beautiful picture that included forestry, which is a significant thing that many of our guests don't really see consciously. they see the beautiful backdrops, wonderful rolling hills, forested hills. it didn't look like that when olmstead began. he saw that that was an important part of it. it was also very important that the country learn that you could have a scientifically managed forest. they had been doing it for centuries in europe, but it wasn't the practice here. so he helped bring that together with george vanderbilt. so as olmstead and vanderbilt were working out the bigge

everybody brings but really finding figures for the landscape harbors a history that began thousands of years ago and the archaeologists job description calls for a knowledge not just of history but technology too and today it helps if they don't mind being followed by curious horses we don't know exactly what's here the church has found it and we also want to know there are more about the history prior to the earliest documentary sources because we have some reference to say from the the eighth century in the tenth century referring to the screen being a place of burial. squads macross and showers are exact position. with the help of g.p.s. data the archaeologists can steer their vehicle across the meadow with the precision they need to generate a comprehensive ground image. this sense is dragging behind a vehicle measure the earth's magnetic field which lies underground like an invisible veil the presence of walsall grads alters the pattern of magnetism in the soil. and that is exactly what the senses can measure the computer registers these disturbances to reveal a long forgotten

in new york it's one of the world's leading landscape architect. his firm has a staff of about two hundred fifty. still he doesn't seem selfless part of the mainstream. any as projects whether they're in the us china se asia or europe are about respecting the cultural context the environment. that. it's the location and the way the sunlight falls that determine which plant goes where have the geology. in the east this is the ground sandy or rocky or lomi. want that determines what grows and what doesn't what we do is not mere decoration to us landscape architecture isn't a simple speedy process it takes time for a garden to come into its own. very well that has to function as a whole because it's alive. there it's not static like a work of architecture made of stone those who started to get also. that's the challenge to create something precious for future generations. it takes a visionary to create sectioning garden in the here and now. heading back to africa if there is a bird why be associated with it i would learn scapes it's the vulture releas

yeah, we live in a place where there's more landscape than people, and more landscape than culture.he surface, it doesn't look like much is going on. right. but the closer you look... yeah, and if you stop, it's stopping. modern people, we're always hurtling around and you don't see anything because you're moving all the time. if you stop and look, stuff bubbles up out of what seems to be an empty and forbidding landscape and it's not what it appears. to those of us who don't live in australia, it is a pretty remote and forbidding place, in parts, western australia. and you've said in the past, you've said, you know, it is the wrong side of the wrong continent in the wrong hemisphere. you seem quite aware of how... you know, from the great literary salons of new york and london, how it's quite isolated. yeah, i was acutely aware of that as a younger writer. i knew that we were just so far away, out of mind, truly out of mind. so you're writing into a great sort of indifference. and the urge to leave, the urge to sort of pack up and join them was there. the pressure to do that, to le

landscapes in which the features of the landscape really came into play. if there's a beautiful bridge, it's where it is for a reason. if there's a meadow, it is where it is for a reason. antietam i found -- i was amazed when i started working on it -- i should mention by the way, about a thousand acres, antietam is 3,000 acres. they are similar in size. and what really amazed me was although it wasn't by any kind of intent, all of the features, the sunken road, antietam creek, the burnside bridge, they all came into play, and so the need to describe this landscape and how it was navigated by the men on the field that day, you know, it made it the fact that i had some grounding writing about landscape architecture actually came in handy to work on a book on antietam. >> uh-huh. >> thank you very much, everybody.

a picturesque winter landscape in finland some one hundred forty kilometers north of the arctic circle. though only three hundred seventy meters high climbing mt so tired is quite arduous. and moxy not a happy to make the effort they want to suffer down the snow. unlike a normal snowboard their bones have no bindings all fasteners this sport is the new thing. ten percent of the one percent going down is actually probably. twenty times the. adrenaline rush really i just. it's i mean it's hard work sometimes working through the snow for kilometers but. but even i mean even that is rewarding in itself but then when you get a ride at the end of it with the cherry on the cake snow surfboards can't really be anywhere in finland so there was only one logical thing for the fins to do to build them themselves. max in a designer and. a trained cabinet maker established their own company in robin amy . and jules started. i think freeing your feet from the board that you're not attached to a certain position just opens up more of a versatile way of writing. to perform like a surfboard perform on w

landscape which is the landscape with horizon and you see that when you get the white out while skiing you can see it. all flying when you enter the cloud and. gauge an instrument flying. also when you dive there are times when you don't worry that you know which way is up it's just by watching your bubbles. and we are entering this new realm now and we're learning to navigate it so i'm very interested in this new landscape and how we feel within it and how the light helps to build that space but what do you think what are we going to find out about ourselves in that new space. well for us well just balance is interesting because we use horizon so much for balance. and even on a boat you know you get seasick if you go down below and you don't have a rise in you come up with on deck and you look at horizon you can study the stomach more easily so that we have been for a long time using this idea of horizon if you're a pilot and you do aerobatics at first you can feel this elaborate and then. this actually. charges here you actually want to experience that you want to feel that it actual

surfing at minus twenty degrees celsius on snowboards without buying wild landscape with our prepared ski runs and without the ski lifts this is how you handle your taller. i'm not going to like it best. for today's edition of your remarks deluxe were in poland to visit a home made out of tongues of concrete now the architect said that for this house more concrete was used then for any other private house in europe that would make it a pretty sturdy structure indeed but with a little trick the building almost looks like it's made of wood. you know this national park is just outside the polish capital civil. here you can find a house that looks like it's made of thames. but the facade is actually made of concrete . and cover one work on mount it inside my house. six hundred tons of concrete went into the house which is owned by the bank if you tell me i cough ski the goal was to make us look natural in this location because the location is so our love with pine wood and we didn't want to be. intruders or invaders into the space we wanted. at home. concrete plays a major role in the int

we have world-class architects and landscape architects here who are designing for us. so it was not meant to say that we had to copy them, but just to say that there are issues and ideas that we can share. and what came out of this is that we really have to focus in on what it's going to take to manage and maintain these open spaces in these parks and we have to have as they have done with many of their parks, even before they were finished, very detailed budgets on, you know, so that we know what is the funding that is required to make sure that we incorporate that in all of our planning and financing. and i am sure that there will be other types of trips to bring and one is about affordable housing. so we will do that in the future. but i wanted to thank -- i wanted to thank linda for coming and i thank the landscape architects and tida staff and all of our partners at treasure island development. i think that it was a great group to go and to look and listen and then to bring back to san francisco the best ideas. so thank you all. >> thank you. >> president tsen: ok

set in the spectacular landscape of the best of the mountains the silhouette of a house there makes it immediately clear it was designed by an architect who likes to experiment. the building has two roofs one of the top and one reaching down to the ground the facade is very minimalist architect robert house is considered one of the most modern residential projects in poland you know welcome to my art it's very foggy today. very little furniture soft colors and straight lines ensure a peaceful ambience. huge windows dominate the room. an elegant and ingenious fireplace offers warmth and coziness. design isn't the essential feature here. your design should be simple and calm and not distract from what's happening outside the house but at the foot of the river very nice view from this side and from the other side and it changes every day. even the fog today is magical as if we were in heaven which would you make before. the main entrance is opened by remote control so that you reach the house of the architect's ark as if via the jetty it looks as if it's just making a brief stop on the mo

because when you make your way through these mountains you really get a feel for the landscape. there are no worn out hiking trails so you can really get close to nature. put on a pair of snowshoes and you can go exploring off the beaten path a ranger from the high tower a national park will serve as your guide. the park was founded by a local industrialist who acquired some land around the gross block now in one nine hundred eighteen. he later donated the land to the alpine club on condition that to preserve the area. grew up just a little bit in blue. because the end of the line on the south side of the valley from here you've got to go on foot that's all the best thing about the national park is that it allows us to preserve some animal species that have died out elsewhere in the alpine region or on the floor and. snowshoe hikers can observe wild animals including alpine events. golden eagles. and in spring marmots come out of hibernation. to cable railways carry visitors to just under the three thousand meter level from there you can ski down into the valley. open binding sk

got for you it is i'm happy about it and you know there's enough snow for skiing and i think the landscape looks nice a competent snow some plants as far as i'm concerned it can be like this every year . back and. residents are also feeling a positive effect of the situation here as another austrian villages neighbors are helping one another. the snow has brought communities closer together. at this hotel right on the lake local residents who've been forced to leave their homes have been given free temporary lodging. they have. co-owners of it says that's only natural in an emergency situation like this. and as. it was going to you. people are there for us all year round whether it's a burst pipe or whatever the volunteer fire department electricians plumbers from firms in the region they're always there for us to go see her for months on so it was clear that we should do our part and give a little something back to altos that will still be going on. here and in many other ski areas across austria the situation has improved somewhat . they're no longer completely snowed under but winter is

shutdown, the political landscape in washington, you had a guess saying political turns will probablyeven larger this year. so you have all these things , it looks like it will be a bit of a down day and that will keep a lid on volume as we start 2019. and all of that concern means people moving to safe havens. the end did have a rally again from for the position. what is behind 2018's out performers? right, the yen was up for a third year against the u.s. dollar, up about 2.7%, making it the best performer among major currencies. that's because it is seen as a safe haven, investors flocked to it in times of uncertainty. of course you had the british pound being pummeled because of brexit, the euro under pressure with the italian budget concerns and you also had commodity currencies coming under some downward pressure with oil prices slumping. the australian dollar was the worst performer against the u.s. dollar, down almost 10%. with all that and with uncertainties abounding at the start of this year, analysts are saying the yen could actually maybe gain for a fourth year. thelays is
