Next year deal that the games will be held in japan no matter where its healthy exciting question after the games is always what happens to all the buildings and stadiums that were especially for the olympics well after the love and games they came up with a really good idea a Technology Park for start ups and maybe at some crazy designs to make it more extra fee. In east london compact and colorful studios have been built in a massive structure that certis the International Broadcast center during the london twenty twelve lympics the space used to be for the gigantic ventilation systems and broadcasting here now it holds twenty one model but spaces. Gascons words for who can sprout an architect together with his colleagues he designed the country. I think we were really keen to try and reconnect the area with this past the Olympic Games were hugely positive for london not the only thing for local area but because of the level of development it happened. Its worked away a lot of the sort of local history and so we want to use this project as a way of reminding people about parts of the local history that they could be proud of. The bright colors used for this studio is for sun for example echo the rock his of sweet that used to be manufactured close by. I just love how bright it is. You can literally see it from across the park so you look across the park and this is one of the ones that really stands out and catches the eye i think is. When the when they hear that its inspired by a sweet rapper they remember they can see the sweet wrappers from their childhood. The founders of infinite session rents another web space their twenty five square meter studio cost seven hundred fifty euros per month which is quite inexpensive five hundred standing here the two brothers manage the production and distribution of their alcohol free craft fairs just the fact that our studio was designed off. The first perforated toilet paper factory in europe is like a funny thing that we can mention the first time anyone sees our office and its sort of a great way of like breaking the ice with new kind of suppliers and customers and. The architects didnt only joy inspiration from previous local businesses one studio facade commemorates an unusual landmark they used to be in the area. Before the olympic. Theres a very for a famous local landmark on the canal which was nicknamed fridge mountain. In just a few years it was your largest white goods dumping ground effect the giant pile the fridge is freezers and so on and so we love the idea of creating a unit which was it was a tribute to that last monument. Tenants of the twenty one work spaces are as varied as the studios for some. Makes includes a record label to Music StudiosArchitects Engineers and also designers. Lydia rents a desk rather than a whole studio. From here she manages a noble night with a label. She designs that collections in london and has the pieces made in italy. Is very different from the other working spaces i mean most of the work spaces of being a really big quite noisy quite loud and hear if you like a family. So you go when its calm and very colorful is in the middle of the paul there are lots of nice events as well. These are thanks to house manager Patrick Scully his employer the trumpery was hired by the Technology Park to look after the studios and its tenants. We can make beautiful spaces you can design Amazing Spaces you can have great views but ultimately the thing that makes this place tick will make it last beyond me to the trump or even as a company will be the stories in the collaboration of the network that happens for people interrupting day to day covering the business to go. Thats sure to be a lot more fun in these colorful studios than a great drab office is. Staying in the british capital the love Design Studio kitchen theory hasnt quite decided if its a restaurant or a laboratory up to ten guests can try it ten course meal for one hundred eighty euros per person but its actually quite scientific its all about exploring was sensory and psychological relationship with food. Can sound effects and flavor to a meal can color and presentation influence our eating experience this angular takes different around in the London Restaurant kitchens during menus are designed to please all of our senses each time we eat its a multisensory activity but it depends on how much mindfulness perhaps is going towards that and kitchen theory what were looking at doing is heightening people sensory. Enjoyment of the food drawing their mind towards the smell the touch the taste the sounds that theyre engaging with and overall heightening their perception of flavor and taste. The first course comes with headphones alongside a dish of jellyfish. Josepha youssef is aware that many people find jellyfish disgusting because of their consistency there has more than a jellyfish kind of texture it has a kind of bite to it and thats something that my team and i discovered when we first tried it and they had to kind of say. Well this is actually really really present. This sounds played over the headphones are meant to emphasise the clock. It sounds a little bit like youre under the sea. But theres also lots of crunching like sounds eating a packet of crisps actually like you described and then when you eat it you can hear the noises making when youre eating it but also in hearts the. Experimental psychologist charles trance works with chef uses kitchen theory professor spence is head of the cross model lab at Oxford University and researchers how effects can amplify influence and even deceive our sensory experiences too much testing in a science lab its not like releasing sticking people on brain scott to see which part of the brain lights up you can find things out but its nothing like a social done. Experience to try and capture people in the wild as much as possible and heres where the perfect potential opportunity for that is a coming to a kind of intimate if unusual experimental almost Dining Experience does a mushroom dish taste more like it came from a forest when its served on a wooden platter. Out of a shell for salty. You only see the color red here because. Back at the tasting menu. The main course squid result calligraphic designs are projected onto the table does that impact its taste intensity. The fact that your brain cant quite make sense of it seeing whats the food whats the and which ones lead in the other is kind of attention capturing say more likely to Pay Attention to what youre eating and by paying attention to what youre eating thats kind of the trick at work in a number of the dishes using the technology of the texture of the storytelling to really make people focus on the food by doing that thats likely to enhance the flavors that you get. But the big shot comes last with dessert. As ships were interested generally in this idea of emotional engagement through food how can you kind of engage people any kind of stimulate someone emotion that we thought was kind of under rated Dining Experience is. Fish we need. To eat a dessert with a shard even if its made of sugar. So always really cold and its made such a different texture and you get something very kind of hard as you can hear it does sound like the crunching of glass. But definitely the first. The first mouthful was me but now that i know its ok i quite like using it. Which glass best brings out the taste of a look or. How to care about hairspray change our pleasure levels one thing is for sure those who dine at kitchen theory leave with a whole new awareness of how different sensory experience has come together when we. Sometimes the fashion industry is quite experimental too for example when you sign us try on crazy new material its dont like this can actually be made into a shoe do you want to know how to look. These shoes on make with stone with flexible slate. Typically made from left. They belong to the sustainable actually brand is not shielded from munich sebastien teens this is the first found his family has been in the shoe industry for six generations but even for him working with stone was its one of the many on its hundreds of millions of years old all natural and each pair is unique. Technically speaking it isnt superior to leather because some of the shoes are a bit less robust so you shouldnt wear them in siberia at minus forty degrees celsius you to go but theyre perfect for normal day to day purposes. The process of making stone flexible enough for shoemaking starts with huge blocks of marble slate. Using a special technique very thin slaps the sole one on which i then flew on to a flexible material. The method was invented by burning based company boat sling. Works with pixie to give you the final price when i increase the money the stone becomes flexible if you make it very very thin. Were talking less than one millimeter thick and then combine it with something stabilizing the. Roof of an. Intriguer that can be fiberglass or cotton fleece. Either will stabilize the slice of stone and hold together the stone particles even when the slab gets bent to. The stone you stand exposed to heat in cold alternately to make it even more flexible. But that princess is a trademark secret. By the end it can even be staged. Next issues there are also belts sunglasses banks but they only limits to the usability. When it comes to stone t. Shirts jackets and such it gets complicated weve experimented with those kinds of items but other materials offer different breathability and range of motion. Its also going to stay expensive and labor intense so it will probably stay more niche than mass market sebastian been looking for any again nick and he had tested using unusual materials for shoes like leather made from tin the fungus a tree parasite stole from the berry and austria. But also a coffee. Mill. And fish skin of old been tested potential suit the materials. My father developed the first pair of compostable shoes back in the nine is that so natural materials have always been a big topic for us to mug nowadays so much more is changing because people are more aware and that of course leads to more innovations in this area of the. Natural rather soon thanks to bill tand left cool in cell phones even less prominent parts of teases shoes on mostly natural thorns the snow has. Sustainability is a must for us and not just the way the media is propagating that term now and the bottom line for us is that if it isnt sustainable you cant call it a quality or luxury product its kinds been asleep or not i think it is. It seems sebastian t. s will keep walking be an effective line in his shoes made with stand and. Travel is a passion of europe max report of mag and li but she only has forty eight hours to explore certain european cities and often the best tips from per week at this time she was a zen deaths on may geneva and the french speaking part of spezza land here you will find a lot of what spezza land is all about mountains and water shes a chocolate and a historic old town.

You can find more about maggots experience as a night watchman or woman plus her first lower i light off a trip to lowes and our you tube channel these objects have suddenly appeared in the nighttime landscape bright and shining geometric shapes they are not u. F. O. s but rather the worst of the spanish light artists heavy. Ten years ago the teacher of fine arts put his brushes aside now he paints with lights we met him at one of his installations near literate. Three dimensional sculpture holographic these terms describe the light installations by had indiana geometric shapes of the spanish artists trademark he projects them onto landscapes with astonishing results especially not a moment or so im always seeking these almost magical moments in my works because the interview you know im trying to find out whether there is a harmonious relationship between geometry and nature morning. You know suffering a harmony that would move us emotionally and which goes beyond our normal perception of nature. Riyad as career began in two thousand and eight with a large solo photography exhibition in the rain as sophia in madrid since then hes carried out like projections in numerous public spaces and festivals. These installations are more than simple entertainment for him. Sometimes i feel this sort of reverberation which goes beyond our daily perception and beyond how we normally experience nature say more than i was then theres not a lot those moments are precious and very fulfilling for me is. Beneficial and i even go so far as to say i live for these kinds of experiences. Bebo boris had the bowl experience is. Elemental tranquil and any magic thats how the artist experiences unspoiled nature he tries to make the sensation visible in his projections and takes large scale photos of the results. Are not. At first glance the viewer sees these two crosses at two deaths as those growth is but they are actually part of a cube the corners of which ive removed. The seal less risky not so much theres a shadow of that cube in the viewers mind. And in a similar way theres an enterprise between the projected form and nature feel. After finding a landscape d. N. R. Starts designing his geometric forms in his madrid studio they follow strict mathematical rules he wouldnt think of using Image Editing Software to superimpose them on a landscape photo he works on site. Your seemed a good one the old boy going to him for me the right geometry compliments the place know what he means you cant do that on a computer but when i finished a geometric form it will look like theres a key to another dimension you cant get that effect on screen and beyond that you have to be in the place and experiment with the shape on site. Yes pretty sick on. The edge i usually works with standard projectors which he arranges and adjusts in his studio to test out his projections on walls. This gives him a first impression. But about a water of course us prepare everything as thoroughly as i can but then when the distances are much further everything might change. Sometimes the image on site will look completely different compared to new york. Tonight conditions in the mountains outside madrid are ideal thanks to a full moon of yeti yanna ha
