A moment welcome to your mags and if youre wondering why im dressed like a stereotypical bavarian its that time of the year again in germany is whats coming up. Talked about fest chinese style how the beloved the very end beer fest is celebrated in the city of qingdao and how an architect from south to row brings fallen architecture into the mountain. As a kid you often have all sorts of weird and wonderful fantasies that parents usually tell you achievable but whether its flying around in a bus tub or making a hovercraft out of a dinghy the socalled real life guys have built it and shed their inventions on like the 20 year old german twins phillip and Johannes Macon Baca have gone and a massive following on you tube with almost 1000000 subscribers so theyve actually been able to turn their crazy hobby into a full time job we went to see what else theyve got in the works. Philip macon baca is stopping by to pick up a few bread rolls at the bakery. And. d the homemade flying bass is just one of about 20 wacky inventions by the huge 2 twins who call themselves the real life guys this time 22 year old 5th annual back i want to pit a childrens paddle cart against a compact car 1st they mount a motor on to the cart as always its all do it yourself. Weve never had any training along these lines weve taught ourselves everything we know from you tube tutorials or google that our father helped out a bit 1st converting bicycles and stuff. The workshop is actually your parents garage near frankfurt to fix the pedal card so it can carry the weight of an adult the brothers extra steel frame the motor is battery powered. The problem was that an immense amount of current flows through here so the controller exploded on us it took us ages to find a motor and controller that are actually made for that much current. I just hope it doesnt go out on us again when we tested. The twins began posting their d. I. Y. Inventor videos on you tube in 2016. Now they have the support of sponsors for most of their projects ideally the real life guys would like to motivate others to get active. Nowadays many people just sit in front of their computers and never do anything outside they doing something yourself away from the computer is still up 1000 times better than experiencing it virtually. Their you tube channel now has over 940000 subscribers and the. For both of them to make a living from it even quicker engineering studies they prefer the practical side of things. Designing and building a motorized 360. 00 degree rocking chair for age 10. We took it to a skate park once and wrote it down the ramps that was pretty spectacular we really almost got sick during that. I. Think. This contraption also raised quite a few eyebrows and this is are some marine the best known invention but also the most dangerous thing weve ever built. Heres a hole where lots of water comes and i try to hold it shut but it doesnt help. That was close. Sometimes we do Dangerous Things but we always try to assess whats too risky and what we can try. I think happened here we had a diver along an oxygen tank inside and a cable hooked on behind so it was pretty well secured. On to the next challenge the pedal cart is now fitted with a 20 horsepower motor and ready to go. On it will be racing his brother philip will be driving a 90 horsepower compact car this were on this newly built road to race against a fabia im really excited but i think ill make it the acceleration on this is really sweet but the top speed not so much we have to get off to a good start with all the method and all how good. Friends often help out they stack up a wall of boxes at the finish line 200 meters down the road. On your mark get set go. And wow congratulations. How was it what do you think i never believed it would accelerate so fast it was very close the acceleration is fantastic but i couldnt keep up the final speed for long i know at 1st it takes off but at the end i realized how much faster i was going it was close. We had to make it more powerful yeah. These twin inventors arent worried about the. Out of ideas their next plan on flying cars. Out to an inventive repub saying of a very old and established resource these branches from a willow tree since the stone age they have been used to make baskets among many other things when this soaked they can be bent into shape quite easily and that inspired a british artist to use them in her cruft have a look at the stunning sculptures of laura ellen bacon. It looks like thousands of twigs only intertwined but this is no natural phenomenon its a sculpture made of willow switches handwoven by laura allen bacon dont let go is the sculptures title the artist created it in coventry central england. If it just helps pay paul see their environment in a different way thats terrific hopefully people are. Maybe just question initially whether its is whether it is a natural form or whether its 100 just a level of intrigue is something that i like to bring to an area. The sculpture takes shape from the pour out the words beginning with the 1st loop then laura and bacon ties knots and leaves the los which is on to it always in paris. As i use really. On 5 player of hops if but otherwise its just its just one hands but its quite a jump ball motion media lots of the work from the shoulders actually you hold the willow quite likely. You move it through the shoulder was. The artist has been making her sculptures for 20 years now in green areas as installations on buildings. Or inside. She allows viewers to touch them and makes them big enough to walk through an experience 3 dimensionally. Laura ellen bacon grew up in county darbyshire in the east midlands where she still lives and works shes been fascinated with nature and creating spaces since she was a girl. Well i started making things when i was about 11 because i just used to enjoy taking myself outside and. Having them i ended up building a tree house which was the very 1st tree house was built with very thin. Very thin pieces of wood which i was actually as it happens able to weave around myself. She starts every sculpture by soaking the switches in water for a whole week that makes them rubbery. Lorelle and baking discovered them as a material when she was studying art she developed the techniques herself. But we dont know how long fibers that run all the way from the base through to the tip and if you give them a bit of a twists as you burn. The fibers. Give. You. Twist that into the shape. Of her studio she only builds models of the sculptures themselves only take shape at their final location so 1st shes get yours which in visions. The work is always designed for a particular place i do a lot of sketchbook drawing some time in between or jawing the process. I really enjoy working with charcoal this is well and charcoal which is made from the same woman with. The artist adds the final touches before she leaves dont like gone at the mercy of its environment. Will be a natural habitat for insects while ever ive been making all of my work i always see their tiny little spiders that move in 1st of all often then you see little birds that come and they feed off the insects its a its a bit of a cycle its really great actually when you feel that its made a home. A creature or and imo. Its a home for creatures and a vision from a dream. Alan bacon wants to bring humans and nature together with each of her creations. Now lets finally get to the reason why im dressed like this today its october 1st time in munich once again around 6000000 people travel to the bavarian state capital every year to drink in the culture of course the beer box there are actually copycat festivals all over the world and weve been travelling around to show you the most unique takes on october fest. Today on the chinese coast in the city of ching dow enjoying a spin off of the bavarian beer fest. In. The beer festival the very end through through what a chinese touch the port an Industrial City qingdao celebrates a polder fest every year several 1000000 guests come to this reproduction of the original grounds in munich and may look. More or less authentic but it sounds quite different. To. The shoot out beer festival is the Worlds Largest october fest knockoff. To give me more to see john otherwise. This is the 10th time for it sends out working the chinese a tobar fest so now its the highlight of the year your hometown. The change out there festival going for a lot to me as a local i see the october fest here as our greatest pride actually its the pride of all china its not. Like that heres your beer that. 2017 sends out realized the dream of hers and went to the a tobar fest the new nick she still talks about the costumes and traditions. But one thing impressed or above all else on the job well what surprised me most of all was the strong servers who can carry so much beer at once i saw one with 8 steins at one time. Heres the photo. When i got back here i try to myself but i cant manage any more than 4 glasses using both hands what are you doing i still have a long way to go. And this has you had it about that. Beer is every bit a part of ching does october fest every guest drinks a number just one these are almost as much as patrons in munich but you wont find any german brass music at. The loudspeakers blur chinese pop music on lots of techno. The food is also adopted the chinese tastes the proper scones across a little bit sweeter than the grilled chicken. Its been replaced by octopus on a spit. Over 1400. 00 fridays of beer from all over the world are offered at the festival but the favorite by far is the local qingdao beer that embodies a piece of german chinese history. Been a d. 97 the germans occupied the chinese city and developed it into a trading base 6 years after the germania brewery opens the germans themselves may have not been popular in china but their beer certainly was still brew the cording to the old purity laws under the name change down. The beer and the decor do resemble munichs october fest the lighting visitors from you with the original if you i like the germans the atmosphere and spirit in germany are great and of course world famous german beer too. But that is what i like most here is the beer on tap from jingo it tastes exactly like kurdish it makes me feel like im in germany even though im inching down. The chinese celebrate to a cobra fest in summer this year a total of 7200000. 00 guests came the parting reaches fever pitch on the eve of the busiest time for james out coming up a 2 star. James o.

On facebook dot com slash d. W. Gen x. Now we move up into the mountains and meet a pioneering architect when it comes to the tricky task of building in the alps venit soul is a real expert is ambitious projects of 100 International Acclaim and in 2 n. T. 16 he was named italys architect of the year is designs are truly unique and we had the pleasure of meeting him in his element for a personal tour of his work. The tamils york pass the scene of hard and groundbreaking work more than half a century ago the high all pine road connecting austria and italy was opened here architect very near chill knows how extreme conditions can inspire extreme feats especially when those extremes are in nature. In the 2nd year in this magnificent landscape look around and youll see everythings a sculpture and you cant respond to it with architecture all architecture fails so we try to respond with sculpture. Like a great stone slab come to rest charles pos museum just saw it from the barren rock a 2500 meters elevation protruding into south to roll from austria its a borderline experience in stone. If you is the mind the architecture is always communication its there to look at and to bring people closer to the land and make it comprehensible for example when someone walks through this building and looks out from the other side of the view they get a very different view of the landscape here. And if they stand here and turn around in a circle its not at all the same as looking at one perspective through a picture frame so to speak in this way they experience the landscape more intensely. Then guards the mountains the way a movie director might. In fact the south to roll native originally wanted to study film directing. He calls himself a minimalist even if the feelings involved are monumental. I think troys architecture is emotion pure emotion theres one single idea one single concept to a building and it shapes every last detail that. Men are told has designed 6 truck chairs for the tamils your experience as. Called along the alpine road. Another of his projects was dedicated in autumn 2018 on the south to raleigh inside the timo Transit Museum it was a revival of a historical building. And we were dealing with an Old Customs Office building from the 1960 s. Thats how it functioned and now it functions just as well as a museum but its hard to speak a functioning id almost rather say form follows landscape landscape. The architect avoids putting up entirely new structures hes seen as a master of revitalization his work on Sigmund Strawn Castle near bolton no made his name far beyond south to roll his futuristic concepts have also drawn widespread attention. Completed one of his boldest projects in 2017. He built his own private residence high above lodge where he was born and. Through this i get a house designing for your own house is different from designing for someone else or for a contractor designing for yourself always means pushing the limits of what youre able to come up with house they can con. A wrap around less facade allows the house to blend in with its surroundings the landscape is the star here nothing architect. And feed on the wheel if you make a mistake its your own fault. For someone else you cant experiment with certain things that be a problem. So these are things you can try out on your own house. Is highest they say the craftsmanship suffers on your own house some things never quite get finished and. Thats the case with these holes that are part of the concrete structure. Im sure ill think of something more artistic down the line to make them look better and seal them up and they saw for lisa and his heat you know you always see your own mistakes you never achieve perfection you can always come up with something new and improved things and thats the motivation to one day really become a good architect so thats the dream power. In spite of his modesty vanna chill is trying nothing less than to alter the image of his home country with his architectural ideas.

The astounding versatility of the tomato is put to the test once a year at the festival. Or the festival of the tomato in flavors it tells that the chateau de la borders yeah in the valley near tour france. We have 700 varieties in our garden but the tomato festival is held here because the shuttle is the center of diversity its right in the midst of frances garden and the war ideal for reaching lots of people with. The new renaissance chateau with a park and vegetable garden was purchased by the former investment banker prince louis albury to plant here in 1991 this is the 21st festival here devoted especially to the tomato. At the mouth fixable tomato is simply extraordinary. Its eaten almost every day would you never guess how multifaceted it actually is. There are a good 36000 varieties of tomato in the world. Chef said to be will be showing us what can be made with black cherry and green sebring tomatoes. Will turn these black box hard tomatoes into a main course. But my thought is that the final recipe will use a very nice black box hard tomato to make tomato steak cut the tomato into pieces one to one and a half centimeters thick so now we have a nice big steak lay it carefully in some sizzling oil out a bit of salt fry it on one side and then the other.
