again in the evening and head back north with new adventure seeking passengers on board. from the wilds of the norwegian coast to the desolate spaces that once the run of the berlin wall it's been almost twenty nine years since the wall opened up and the divided city was once again reunited now there are little traces from where the wall once stood and the empty spaces that once labeled deathtraps are now bustling with activity but thanks to one photographer hans mendo we can be reminded of the way things used to look. berlin's potsdamer platz was once a wasteland traces of which are now hard to find even for hans to be amanda who spent years photographing it. it's impossible to locate the exact position today really very difficult the key artists were over there. that was back then in the shadow of the wall right across the street didn't exist this is bought some a strong. this must be the spot approximately. he's talking about the vantage point for one of his photos the image doesn't show what one would expect the death strip barriers border guards men to wasn't interested in the berlin wall itself his focus was on the barren spaces along the border where hunger hung on these areas of waste land had a very graphic quality. around there were wide open spaces empty buildings the wall was like a ribbon and as it cut through the city it created urban landscapes that were unique in the world of you know i was fascinated by this incredibly hard division documentary that was very important to me. after he finished school mendel left his home in rural lower saxony to study photography in west berlin the city's residents had been surrounded by the wall since one thousand nine hundred sixty one and had learned to live with it or rather to ignore it as best they could it to like pastoral islands developed at its ends. as a newcomer mend it had no experience of the wall then a girlfriend took him to the frontier of the island city of west berlin he was entranced by the no man's land he found there in the fall of one nine hundred seventy eight mendel began his photographic exploration of the walls periphery for months he meandered alongside the one. hundred sixty kilometer long barrier through the city it was a lonely journey when you see it in the pictures are hardly any people in them and that's not because i asked people to move out of view there simply wasn't anyone there. another scene of desolation was the former railway station on the top and who today it seems like the wall sucked the life out of vibrant squares and spaces that once lay in the city center. the image document the scars of the divided city places forever along. the pictures exude calm and his journey along the wall was nothing of the kind. where you go off on to

city that the photos show how deeply the wall cut into the city's fabric. despite its redevelopment puts them up plants is still not a very inviting place haunted perhaps by the wasteland it once was. but still berlin has certainly come a long way since then art well time now for my favorite part of the show when we get a sneak peek into someone's house will abode in today we are heading to the mediterranean island of malta this is where one british family chose to settle after being constantly on the move now they enlisted an architect to build their dream home and anyone who visits will quickly notice that wood is their material of choice. this house is a typical example of modern multis architecture which features clearly defined structures to smooth bright exterior. he had words lived here northeast of atlanta event daughter isabelle who lent her name to the family home. welcome to my house. from the front door you can see all the way through to the garden and the swimming pool this visual access makes the outside area appear as part of the living space the edwards moved into the house in twenty sixteen. russell an internet expert from britain and his wife lorraine i

something lovely about waking up here every day and pretty much the sun is going to be shining and that's really nice. because the sun makes you happy. in order to bring the natural born consigned the owners relied completely on board as a design element. the entrance area is almost completely paneled with oak and looks like a huge sculpture with indirect lighting. i was worried that they would take a lot of my space because they were talking as well behind these units you can storage things so we have the furniture actually here so i thought that either will take the space of the entrance but like i said you aren't witnesses these looks fantastic. the white metion of wooden wall in the foyer is mirrored by a similar shaped shell. in the kitchen. the west trying to put the household together because why is very clean the very i don't know i mean my least big but for me to happy to be that warm so they want here was a fantastic idea and i think that is different to any other kitchen is designed for me i like like that. the architect wanted the sonic dining table to form a line with the kitchen. but that proved to be impractical to walk around the same time i think. that's a long way so we turn to the. police down a little bit and then we can quickly skip through that bit there which makes it a lot easier when you're putting your feet on the table every day and stuff like that so your architect a great idea is that sometimes you can change a little things here on. the staircase of the multi-story building with four hundred square metres of living space is decorated with a motif that features a plexiglass space perspectives. the master bedroom on the first floor is decorated in quite patient earth tones in harmony with the wooden structures on the ground floor. as is the color scheme in the living room. and built in wardrobe is hidden behind the dark blue wooden more living room is the focal point of the house. normally we'd sort of turn the lights down and and just relax is one of the if i don't say the only lounge that we have really sat down on enjoy and drink usually not their homes that we have to leave before never happened this is.
