But stormy in the east and hotter in the southwest. Osgood next. The low country by design. Ladies and gentlemen, Jerry Seinfeld. Later here goes nothing. Osgood Jerry Seinfeld just fors laughs. Osgood it he may sound like a dream come true to, own a grand estate designed in 1939 by americas foremost architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright named it auldbrass. Adapting the name of a historic plantation although nothing is planted here but live oaks and cypress trees. Spread across some 300 acres of South Carolinas low country a region defined by rivers and tidal marshes. But just three decades ago auldbrass had fallen into disrepaira costly White Elephant that no one it seemed, was willing or able to save. When i got it, it was ready for the bulldozer. It was pretty much, you know, barely alive. Its taken almost 30 years to bring it back to where it is now. Hollywood producer joel silver is best known for his blockbuster films. Silvers 1986 purchase and restoration of auldbrass has been the most audacious production of his career. Very expensive hobby. And i found early on that if i could make successful movies that made a lot of money that i would be able to benefit from that to utilize those funds to explore other things. Im going to build a guest house. One of the few times were going to build a new Wright Building in the exact site. Thats last project. Silver maintains auldbrass as wright intended. A private retreat. Opening it to the public on occasion to raise funds for the regional open land trust. The architects vision endures. From the smallest detail to the grandest. Nature is the inspiration. A love of place exalted by design. By the time auldbrass was designed the nearby cities of charleston and savannah were both more than 200 years old. How they deal with the challenge of Historic Preservation makes for genuine tale two of cities. Our cover story reported by lee cowan. They are two belles of the south. Savannah georgia. And charleston, South Carolina. About a hundred miles apart they have been rivals for centuries. Debating everything from which has the best manners to which makes the sweetest tea. But they have something in common, how to preserve their monthsdraped Southern Charm without turning their backs on progress. Theres a lot of jealousy between the two of them. Retired American History professor was born in charleston but spent last 50 years in savannah. His home off monterey square, was built in 1869. How can you keep city like this charming and preserve its history and yet still move forward at the same time . Well, many would say we dont want to move forward at the same time. Were happy just the way we are thank you very much. Many in charleston might say the same thing. And thats the design dilemma. While its tempting to want to put these historic cities in formaldehyde charlestons mayor says thats not a viable answer. A historic city should be a living place. Because if you dont have that its a former something. A former once great city that now is pretty to see. Charleston has the oldest Historic District in the country. Carefully preserved the grand public building as well as the mansions along the battery of course the famous rainbow road. The style is the single house. Tall slender homes theyre called piazzas here some sometimes look out over a private garden. Its an architectural fabric that New Buildings have a hard time matching. Its like there is this beautiful painting. We have an opportunity to paint something within that beautiful painting. Its got to be careful that what you paint there dont detract from the overall context of what has been created. Its up to charlestons board of architectural review to approve new construction. Sometimes the mayor himself gets involved as he did with the architect of a proposed parking garage. I said i want a building that doesnt look like a parking garage. No, thats what we do here in charleston. I dont want it to look like a parking garage. This is what resulted a. Garage that actually won federal design achievement pared. Then Charleston Place a 400 room hotel paled the citys muster, but only after it was built to fit with the style of the buildings around it. And the 142 million performance hall. But for modernist architect like ray huff charlestons restrictions can make new design a bit tricky. What were having now is a bit of clash of values as it much in trying to determine how do we find that right balance. Thats a difficult proposition. When Clemson University designed this contemporary building to house the schools Architecture Center in charleston, it was met with such opposition the plans had to be scrapped. The process of going through getting permits and what have you for a building is an extremely difficult process in charleston. The same debate is ringing throughout savannah. Although here Historic Preservation takes on a little different tone. Is there a general sense about sort of modern and contemporary architecture coming into savannah . I think we embrace it. But we ask questions about whether this building will contribute to the city. Christian sottills, the dean of the school of building arts. And architect behind this, the schools new museum of art. We set out to design a building that would communicate across three centuries. One that incorporates what was left of the oldest surviving Railroad Depot in the country. We like to use the term Creative Preservation. Thats not very hopeful. But Creative Preservation is making and saving. Its both. That depot is one of more on this 70 Historic Sites that savannahs college of art and design have saved and repurposed f. A former county jail to is theth century armory. It is a living laboratory. Many of the buildings like this one look out on program savannahs best known feature. Its squares. There are 2 of them all. In fact its considered one of the nations first planned cities. Its not as old as charleston, savannahs Historic District is much larger stretching stretching from the waterfront with buildings like savannahs Cotton Exchange still stands to neighborhoods where homes with gas lanterns and intricate iron work sit beneath the spanish moss. This is what makes savannah. And the new can still spark controversy. The 64,000 square foot Jepson Center for the arts designed by moshe safdie was tough to get by review board. Some still dont like it today. A Grand Staircase filled with glass, but maybe not so appropriate for historic city like savannah. These port cities of the south, savannah and charleston, are survivors. They have out lived fires hurricanes, slavery and war. Surely will design disputes but not without a fight. Osgood coming up. Keeping it simple. That is an extra drawer. Shakers didnt like to waste space. My scalp hurts. My hair hurts. This is what it can be like to have shingles. A painful, blistering, rash. If you had chickenpox, the shingles virus is already inside you. 1 in 3 people will get shingles in their lifetime. Well i had to go to the eye doctor last week and i have to go back today. The doctors worried its so close to her eye. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about your risk. Osgood frank plowed wright custom designed furniture. By contrast Richard Schlesinger introduces us to a furniture making tradition whose designs couldnt be more practical. At the Hancock Shaker village in far western massachusetts they have always kept things simple and clean. Its a museum now where visitors can see classic Furniture Designed centuries ago by the shakers. The lines of the furniture are as clean as the rooms it in habits. Leslie herzbery is the curator. They were thinking of it as being functional, streamlined simple, beautiful design. They didnt mean for it to be beautiful . They didnt. They would never refer to it as beautiful. These no films, no flourishes chairs may be the best known legacy of shaker design. Shakers came to the u. S. From england and established themselves as a christian sect in the late 18th century. Their design style followed their lifestyle. It is simple and above all practical. This is a blanket chest made in the 1800s. What is the thing on the bottom. That is an extra drawer. Shakers didnt like to waste space. There was an additional way to use the space more efficiently the shakers would find it. They were Innovative Group that came up with new ways to solve old problems. Its true. So the shakers did the same thing. But what the shakers figured out was in order to preserve the chair and also to preserve their floors, if you added this tiny Little Design element to the back postss of your chairs you could preserve both that back post and your floor. This is brilliant. It swivels, if i may . It swivels with the chairs. You go back. This is brilliant. Invented by the shakers. Now seen on most classroom chairs for kids. In their heyday in the 19th century there were roughly 6,000 shakers in nearly two dozen communities from main to, kentucky. Their founder was a woman known as mother anne. They lived communally so cleanliness became if not next to godliness at least really close. Mother anne once said theres no dirt in hiv en. Keeping your living quarters and eating quarters and your work quarters clean was very important. And so thats why you have things like the shaker builtins you dont have to clean on top or beneath them. In fact a lot of shaker design evolved from the necessity to tidy up. Among other things they invented the flat broom. And the pegs which you see in every shaker thing they are for hats or what . Theyre for almost anything. Not only could you push your chair under the table you could also hang it up on your peg. And why would you do that . Wellf you wanted to clean underneath it. But you would often hang it upside down so that dust wouldnt gather. They brought this trestle from this lower position, they brought up into the upper position. They brought it up to that position to so that they could clean under every table every day. Easier to get a mop underneath. Right. Full disclosure, is my neighbor. These are the peg racks and the chair. He has spent decades studying and following shaker design. In the design world we use the word to shakeriz, almost like a verb to simplify. He makes shaker furniture but he also makes more contemporary pieces. Frequently with a glance back at the shakers. That aesthetic has driven most of modern Furniture Design for the last 50 years. The shakers designs have stood the test of time and influenced furniture makers of more recent times. But time might finally be catching up with them. Since the beginning shakers that have been celibate, so new members can be hard to come by. Mother anne once said that once the number of shakers dwindles to as many as you can count on one hand there will be resurgence. Maybe thats true. Where once there were 6,000 shakers, today there are just a handful living together in maine, perhaps the last of their kind. Walked on there dash. Osgood just ahead. We build a better mousetrap.

Here again is charles osgood. Osgood this was designed by eric lloyd wright, the grandson of Frank Lloyd Wright. Simple practical. Good design. This morning Susan Spencer taking a look at some other kind of designs. How many traps do you think you have total . Ive. Over 4500 traps. Tom pars Trap History Museum outside columbus, ohio, its easy to feel, well, a little trapped. I guess its been a life long obsession to collect things. And probably in the late 1980s i decided i wanted to collect animal traps of all sizes. All sizes all shapes. His quirky collection lines the walls,er from to ceiling. This one will i am pail. Delighting a couple hundred equally traphappy visitors a years. When they walk in and see all this whats the usual reaction . Most are somewhat overwhelmed. Par treasures them all. They would set this like so. But one seems to hold a special place in his heart. As a mouse comes up to get the peanut butter. That basic household stand by. Patented over a century ago. A timeless design as perfect today as it was back then. Its so simple. They try to change it. They rebuild it. It still goes right back to the same thinga wood base with a springloaded arm that comes down and annihilate the mouse. Annihilate . Delicately said. But despite its deadon success roughly 15 inventors a year for almost a century have gotten patents for a supposedly improved version. Theres that famous quote built a better mousetrap the world will beat a path to their door. This is the room devoted to mouse traps . Yes this is it. Here resides some 1500 mostly failed attempts at mouse traps perfection. Its called the smasher. Featuring some astonishingly creative means to the same gruesome end. This is four whole choker. Here is one called the iron cat. The mouse goes in this chamber. Im starting to feel sorry for the mouse. Dont. The case for the timeless springloaded design is open and shut. After all who can really argue with this. Except maybe the mouse. Osgood coming up. The architect says, transparency. Osgood a matter of interest. Every summer the best tennis players in the world collide in new york. But thats just the final chapter of a great story. One thats unfolding all summer long right in your backyard.

Jane paul ly takes a measure of those pillars of commerce. Today the corner bank is as common as coffee shop. And equally imposing. Its kind of surprising there are buildings at all when your bank is in the cloud. Its entire bank. But it wasnt always this way. The bank used to be synonymous with imposing. Even monumental. Like this one built in 1924. Now called gotham hall is a venue for weddings and special occasions. This is the last great classical bank built in new york city probably in the united states. Columns are five feet in diameter solid limestone. 40 feet high. Charles belfoure is an architect and historian you. Go in to the tiniest town in america you find this really ornate classical bank. Even as a kid i knew it was a fancy building that it was a special building. Just like a church would be. Like a church, ceiling and soaring pillars were intended to inspire awe and reference. For money. Was the heart. They were bright, shiny objects. As a vault was show piece. They wanted to show the depositor that their money was absolutely safe. It was an illusion, banks could fail and often did. Throughout americas financial history hundreds and hundreds of banks failed. And depositors would lose every nickel they had. Yet only a year after hundreds of banks went under in the great panic of 1893 built this majestic shrine in down ton manhattan. Why did they keep spending money on building astonishing banks is everyone some remembering that grandma lost everything. They wanted them to forget. They d. At the dawn of the roaring 20s. Built a skyscraper atop americas first branch bank 07 feet high. And its a branch bank. It was called a castle in the clouds brought to earth. A few years later the economy came crashing to earth. The stock market crash has come and Great Depression has begun. But after world war ii the economy booming and optimism rising banks were back with a new message. I can almost see the pitch meeting with the bankers around the table. And the architect says, transparency. That architect was gordon bunshaft. In 1954 his design for manufacture evers trust was a transparent building. Almost seemed like people inside would be more honest about what they were doing. The vault sat right in the window not ten feet from fifth avenue. Today the bank is gone but the vault is still there like a jeweled accessory in the window of the design store. Thats it. Escalators that once conveyed customers to the banking floor. Now carry shoppers through the Flagship Store of joe fresh. Ironic that an iconic bank has become a retail store. But fitting says charles. Because the bank of today its basically a financial supermarket. No need to impress. Sit down. Have some coffee. Homey is a big word. More like your living room. And what of the castles of yesteryear . Some have literally been brought to earth. Some survived and can still dress to impress. Osgood next. Design with a grain of truth. I can do easily.

To protect and care for the things we cherish and the ones we love each and every one of us has a natural, human instinct to cover. Covering is caring. Because covering heals 5 days faster. Bandaid brand osgood a Swimming Pool and other amenities. Very different from the castles that has been admired in japan. These sculptures can sore several stories high and seem to defy gravity. Particularly considering theyre made entirely of sand. Everyone who has ever been on the beach or played in their sandbox, youve touched the sand. To take the sand and to be able to make a ginormous work of art . Its incredible. Incredible indeed. So much so theres an entire Museum Dedicated to this art form in the western japanese city of tottori. Professional Sand Sculptures sue mcgrew came all the way from seattle. One thing about just trying find how far back you can cut it. We found mcgrew putting the finishing touches on her rendition of the fall of the berlin wall for this germanthemed exhibition showcasing in sand, bach, einstein, even the growers grimm. Mcgrew had no formal training. Even i am proceed advises with her implements. A fork creates texture. A feather duster smooths it out. Most challenging part for all of these designers is dealing with gravity. Down here on your hands and knees and looking up, please dont fall. Please dont fall. Jill harris another american usually just calls herself a sculpture. Omitting the word sand. Unless shes ready for a slew of questions. Do you mix anything with it . Sit really only sand and water . How do you get it to stay up. And the answer are only sand and water. These sculptures which harden as they dry start as giant block of sand. Well take an entire day to pack a block like this. With jumping jack exacters and water. Shes been at it for 19 years and showed us these time lapsed videos. The key to it all harris sayss getting the right sand. Beach sand does not work so well. Because if you think of the ocean as a giant rock tumbler all those little grains are rolling around. Theyre round. Its like stacking marcels that just slide off. Or sand from the quarry or sand thats been on a dune and away from the surf, they are still angular. Thats what makes tottori so ideal. We visited the giant sand dunes on an unseasonable chilly day this spring. Complete with camels brought in for tourists. Credited with introducing sand sculpture to japan told us, the city came to me said, got this huge stand dune. Can you help us do something with it to draw tourists . Nine years ago he created this museum of sand, which brings ingest sculptures including sue mcgrew. Isnt there something fundamentally frustrating or depressing about this. Ultimately this sculpture all of the work will go away. I love that aspect. Its like thanksgiving dinner. You get together with friends its the experience of making the food and eating it. You dont want to keep the meal forever and just look at it. You want to make it and enjoy it. Thats basically sand sculpting. Its fleeting beauty is by design. Osgood next this is a lantern that also cooks. How design can change the world. Osgood frank plowed wright designed auldbrass. Creating practical items for people with more basic needs. Luke burbank has been sampling their wares. What comes to mind when you hear the word design. A sleek new phone you can wear like a watch . Maybe a fancy sports car . Most of us see design as something that makes our lives easier safer better. Thats an easy meal to put together. Do they feel that way in the developing world . Of course they do. I think the notion that because somebody is poor they dont have the same appreciation for beauty or function is completely ear reason news. Its incredibly insulting. Yves bay hear is one of the country top designers. Are for him design is more than just a job its a lifestyle. He designed the offices of his San Francisco company, fuse project. And they stand as a sort of museum to all hes made. It would sense my phone as i approach it. Yet one of his proudest achievements isnt something he made for prada or samsung its a pair of 5 eye glasses. A great proverb i learned from finland that says, the poor cant afford bad design, cheap design, low quality design y. . Because you have to buy it again. Cause it breaks down. The glasses millions of pairs, are being worn by Mexican School children. Theyre designed with a very special material called grilamid that material with stands high levels of distortion. Which is important. They need to survive childhood i guess. The Mexican Government hired bay hear to solve a problem poor kids who needed glasses were choosing to go without them rather than wear the decidedly unstylish pairs the government had been handing out. His design changed that. Every child you provide with a pair of eye glasses is actually going to become a better learner. Cheap durable glasses are one thing. But what about a cheap durable computer for kids in the developing world . Yep, he designed one of those too. Tremendously difficult to think of at the time. 100 laptop that would be paired with a fifth or less of the amount of energy that it takes to power a laptop we have here. Today more than three million of these inexpensive laptops are in use from cambodia to brazil. Theyre even celebrated on a stamp and on money. Dont know if any of the design ever that ends up on knicks money. Dean still hasnt seen any of his designs show up on any cash yet. Its very fast. But hes hoping that what hes creating here in an old oregon logging town will have the same kind of impact. Our goal is wood burn as clean as natural gas. For 25 years he and his team at Aprovecho Research have obsessively worked towards a sort of holy grail of humanitarian design, an affordable safe stove for nearly three billion people around the world cooking over open flames which damage the environment and their health. Why is it so important to find a solution to this stove problem . Wood smoke is about the same as cigarette smoke. If a woman is cooking with a kid, theyre breathing the equivalent of four packs of cigarettes a day. Ex step isnt some voluntary choice this is something to stay alive, right . Their poverty is killing them. An estimated four Million People die each year from breathing the smoke from their stoves. The goal is create 15 stoves that produce almost no toxic smoke and still cook great food. Not a simple task. How is that accomplished . Theres not really a chimney. No. This stove has very fast little jets of air that are mixing all of the smoke and the gas into the flame. And its mixing it so well that its getting all burned up. But theres notch thing as one perfect universal stove. Because people cook food differently. This is a griddle stove for making tortillas from honduras. High powered chinese stove for boiling water. This is a stove from jane for making chapattis and. For the nearly one in five People Living without electricity, it goes for 70 minutes on charge of wood. They found way to solve two problems at once. Its called the firefly. This is a lantern that also cooks. So we figured that people might want to be able to see at night to read and whatever or to prepare the food and also to cook. This can boil water and provide light. That could change somebodys life. I hope so. Forget iphones and sports cars, this is light. Where there wasnt any before. Its design that truly makes a difference. A beautifully made, well made high quality product is understood exactly in the same way here than it is somewhere else. Osgood coming up. The heights with mo rocca.

New york has seen explosion of very modern looking buildings. Washing windows is it a fun challenge . Its frustrating. Its beautiful building. But makes it so dangerous. Its crazy. But somebodys got to do it. Lets face it. Dirty windows dont reflect well. I will not go into any restaurant or store that has dirty windows. You treat your windows like that what are you going to do when i walk in as a customer . I made it worse. Whistling tea kettles have been letting off steam this great sweet sound. For at least a hundred years. Its primal to be able to put something on a stove that starts with fire. And instrumental. Gushes donald strum head of Product Design in new jersey.
