Osgood and golfer Jack Nicklaus, turning his own course. ,,,,,,,,, osgood were in the great hall at the breakers. It is great, isnt it . You can well imagine Cornelius Vanderbilt ii dressed to the nines and welcoming his guests, all of them in the formal attire of the time. Nowadays, Martha Teichner tells us, casual is king. Reporter once upon a time, there was casual friday. Now, its more like casual 24 7. In cities and suburbs, coast to coast, for both men and women, you see it not just on the street, but in offices. If a billionaire c. E. O. Like Mark Zuckerburg can wear his hoodie to work, why cant everybody else dress down . Except now, its about more than wearing jeans or something resembling pajamas. Its about workout clothes that have grown up. Theres a name for her look besides gorgeous athleisure. With or without a body like beyonces, in or out of the gym, americans american women especially have made it the hottest thing in the apparel industry. As goes beyonce, so goes, i would say, any number of trends. Thats going to be an imagedriven story. Reporter robbie myers is editorinchief of elle, which put beyonce, wearing her own athleisure clothing brand, on its may cover. Being athletic and, like, going to yoga or whatever it is you do is actually a real part of these womens lives, and they like the way they look. They like the way they feel. Reporter what about people who never go near a gym but wear athleisure . The idea that americans want to be comfortable no matter what they do, certainly you know has permeated the culture. Reporter where did it all begin . Myers has a theory. You may want to go back to jane fonda and the famous workout tape of 1982. Are you ready to do the workout . Reporter athleisure way before it was called that. In 1998, along came lululemon, with premiumpriced yog apparel that took to the streets. Which brings us to 2015. Americans spent nearly 44 billion on socalled active wear, up 16 over 2014. Meanwhile, denim sales have taken a hit, down 5 or more every year since 2013. Athleisure companies have caught the wave. Companies such as el segundo, californiabased fabletics, an athleisure line whose cofounder and inspiration is the actress kate hudson. See the leggings . They were the leg up that launched athleisure, for women, anyway. Its a core essential style that the company was founded on. Reporter Shaun Kearney is head of design at fabletics. We update it in great colors, textures, prints. They create wholethemed war drobz. Whats going to be the wow factor. Reporter its fast fashion, from design to delivery, eight weeks. Fabletics lives mostly online. Paying subscribers get discounts. New collections are released the first of every month. But with plenty of incentives in between, to lure shoppers.

Its absolutely huge. Reporter durand guion is Vice President for mens and kids fashion for macys. Everything from keeping you warm and keeping you cool and whisking away moisture. Reporter think fancy new synthetics with sunscreen in them, even. But the magic word is compression, meaning snug and stretchy. Youve goat that compression pant there. Reporter why are they called compression pants for men and leggings for women . Because guys wouldnt buy them if they were called leggings. Reporter they wear them under shorts, but the biggie for men is the lightweight, slimmeddown sweat pant, now known as the jogger. The influencers for mens athleisure are really the superstar athletes. The steph currys, the lebron james, the russell westbrooks. Reporter but athleisure has made it out of the locker room onto the runway. Here Alexander Wang for high school. My real gut on this is this is something that is here to stay. Oh, i dont think its a fab. Its not a fab fad by any means. Its a complete lifestyle shift. Reporter so athleisure for all . You were talking about leggings. I mean. รน absolutely. Reporter im in osgood some cottage. The story of the breakers is next. Osgood the breakers, the socalled cottage, is the crown jewel of newport, rhode island. A city you may be surprised to learn was a leading slavetrading port during the 1700st. A southern retreat for southern plantation owners during the early 1800s. Newport later on attracted a number of industrial tycoons of the gilded age. Chief among them was Cornelius Vanderbilt ii, grandson of the founder of the new york central railroad. Vanderbilt bought the original breakers, built of wood, in 1885. After it burned to the ground a few years later, he hired architect Richard Morris hunt to design its replacement. Completed in 1895, the rebuilt breakers is a 70room italian renaissancestyle palazzo. It covers nearly 140,000 square feet and features some 300 windows, many with commanding views of the ocean. Not that the breakers is the only newport cottage a vanderbilt built. Nearby stands the marble house, built between 1888 and 1892 by cornelius younger brother william, also designed by Richard Morris hunt. William vanderbilt gave it to his wife, alva, as her 39th birthday present. Today, both the breakers and the marble house belong to the Preservation Society of newport county. Both are also National Historic landmarks, and make very clear why mark twain coined the expression the gilded age. This is the largest of the breakers 27 fireplaces. All it takes to light a riproaring fire is just one small match. Ben tracy now pays homage to the matchbook. Reporter they come in different shapes, sizes, and colors, little books and boxes concealing the fire within. But sparks of creativity can turn matchbooks from simple firestarters into tiny works of art. They are. Theyre design gems is. Richard greenis whats called a phillumenist. I dont particularly like that. Reporter okay, matchbox collector. I prefer the term matchheads. Reporter you might say he awares his passion for his hobby on his sleeves. Do you ever walk by a matchbook or box you dont take . Absolute, all the time. There are ugly plain white ones. Reporter you have standards . Absolute, dont woe all . Dont we all . This is a favorite of mine. The first thing i look at is the design. When you open it up and you look at it inside its got fu man chew on it. I look at the type they used, whether they used the format of the matched doing in some clever way. Reporter some are quite clever. The matchbooks thenselves part of the design. Greens collection of a quarter million matchbooks, catalogs how historically they have been used to sell everything from paint brushes to politician. Some are rare, some are racy. This happens to be called a feely. And some are racist. And here we have some political parties, such as the ku klux klan and the jon birch society. Reporter Pabst Brewing Company of milwaukee, wisconsin was the first to see the potential in matchbooks. Other Companies Soon followed. Just wouldnt be in business without having a matchbook. Reporter there is debate about who invented the matchbook. In 181992, patent attorney joshua pusey filed a patent for what he called the plexible match. It was meant to be enclosed by a suitable cover, folded and adapted to be opened and closed as the covers of a book. But charles bowman, another pennsylvanian, patented the matchbook design we know today. These four words are among the most commonly printed phrases of all time. But the matchbook itself has long been under fire, replaced in large part by the disposable lighter and seem will made irrelevant by smoking bans that have swept the company in past decades. We have matchbooks available at the front desk every day. Reporter Michael Lomonaco is chef and managing partner at porterhouse bar and grill in new york city. His is one of many restaurants, bars and she hotels that are giving the matchbook a second chapter. Reporter chapter. I get to remind people who have been here that they have been here. And this little remembrance they take with them, this little memory box, they get to keep, remember they have been here, and tell their friends about us. Here are a couple of what we call barrels. Reporter but for richard green, its not just about advertising. Matchbooks tell a story, our collective history, the good and the bad, one square inch at a time. Reporter matches encompass every aspect of popular culture, whether its entertainment or politics or industry or business art, design, typography whatever it is music. Theyre all in matches. Osgood ahead. Are you going to go with the tile . Give them more shelving. All right, thats it. Osgood the real fixer uppers. With ingredients like roasted hazelnuts and cocoa, nutella adds a smile to any morning. One jar; so many delicious possibilities. Nutella spread the happy osgood hows this for a kitchen with oceans of room . You say yours needs a little redoing . Our jane pauley knows just who to turn to. I want to show you what were doing in the kitchen with these. Lets see what weve got. Reporter if youre not already addicted, meet chip and joanna gaines, the rising stars of hgtvs fixer upper. Are you all ready to see your fixer upper . Reporter theyve renovated dozens of homes in waco, texas. I think it looks great reporter she has the vision. He executes the plan. Hi reporter and after weeks of construction, joanna has one day to set the stage for the big reveal. Now, its the finishing touches. Its all the things that truly make this house feel like a home. I love this time. Reporter this is the furniture . Its in my its in my furniture warehouse. We call it, like, the hoarding zone. Reporter what would you call this collection, joannas treasure trove . Yes. Reporter lintels, doors, an old garden gate. Full of possibilities she alone can see. When i look at Something Like that, i immediately see two twin headboards built into the wall for if i ever do a little girls room. Ill need this one. Reporter why does it have to be built into the wall . Reporter i think it makes it more interesting. Reporter joanna has the designers eye, but chip was the original fixerupper. He flipped his first house while still a student at Baylor University in waco. Id just buy Distressed Properties and then renovate them and sell them. Reporter how did you know how . You know, thats the willdollar question. Trial and error. Reporter joanna majored in communications at baylor and if was prepping to take over the family business, selling tires. Reporter there was something about his humor. I dont know. I would always be saying, this guy is interesting. Reporter newlyweds, they started renovating small house together four years ago, joanna was discovered by a blog, and then hgtv came calling. I would say within a few weeks, they had camera crews down. Reporter chip was a natural. Thats what i do best ive always kind of been the type to where i felt like cameras were following around sort of in a pretend way, you know. Reporter but joanna was a revelation. He was actually pretty sure tha there would be a star on this show, and maybe he was a little surprised that it was you . Im still, to this day, im just like, i dont know if theyre watching the same show that im watching, but theres a clear star here that has been born. And the country seems to think its my wife, and im telling you, its me reporter well, its both of you. The Lone Star State is big enough for two more stars, and theyre big enough to share the spotlight. Fans know clint harp, joannas goto carpenter. I met joanna, and she said, hey, if i wanted you to build something, could i just, like, draw some stuff down on a piece of paper . At the time i had built two or three beds which never sold. People say, how has this show changed your life . And im like, im sitting with jane pauley in my shop. Reporter youre naturalborn entrepreneurs are, both of you. And when you have an idea. It gets executed pretty darn fast. Theres a real estate company, bed and breakfast, furniture line, paints and rugs, a book coming out in the fall. And their most ambitious undertaking so far, the silos, twin rusting hulks on the waco. Skyline, now a landmark, drawing 25,000 visitors a. Week to the magnolia market. I just love the stuff she does. It looks like stuff you would have in your home. Shes just brilliant. Reporter nobodys mentioned chip yet. Chip is just awesome. He is. He is funny im offering 50. Dont do it. Oh, my god reporter perhaps the city ultimate fixer upper is the waco, texas, the unlikely capital of home renovation. I feel like, to some extent, this is california back in the gold rush days, or alaska during its boom. Reporter you know, im thinking if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. Oh, i like that. I like that reporter oh, yeah, yeah. I think sinatra would probably be turning over in his grave, but id take that. Id take that any day of the week. Osgood you are looking at an ingenious example of design perfect for a rainy day. Good design is all around us as Susan Spencer will be showing us throughout the morning. Reporter sure, it keeps you dry, but have you ever really looked at your umbrella . Most people take it for granted. They dont realize the intricacies that are involved to make that simplicity. You have a strap, you have a runner, and ribs. Reporter when it comes to design, says mechanical engineer dave kahng, the case is open and shut. Whoa the umbrella is brilliant. Theres no engine, no motor, no electricity nothing. Its just one simple movement. Eight arms extend itself. And its a huge surface area. Reporter and all it wants to do is protect you. It does one thing. Reporter so what genius thought this up . Some people say it originated in china. Some people say it originated in egypt. But it was it was originally used for shade. Umbra is the latin word for shade. Reporter each year, kahng says, americans buy more than 33 million umbrellas, all shapes all sizes. Perhaps theyd buy far fewer if the things lasted longer. Weve all had an inverted umbrella. Weve all had the fabric rip from the ribs. Reporter why is it embarrassing to have an inverted umbrella . It is. Reporter kahng turned his umbrella obsession into a business, davek umbrellas. Do you find that youre conscious, as you walk down the street, you look at peoples umbrellas . Oh, yeah. Im always looking for mine. Reporter we met kahng at his warehouse in new jersey. Every now and then, youll see an umbrella just lying there in the street. Its sad. A fallen comrade. Reporter but he claims that does not happen to his umbrellas, meticulously made of steel, highquality fiberglass, and aircraftgrade aluminum, and costing 50 we imported the wood from italy. To this one of burnished wood 350. This is like the rolls royce of umbrellas. Reporter kahng even has an umbrella with a computer chip in the handle. If you accidentally leave this umbrella behind and you walk away 30 feet, youll get a notification, an. Alert reporter 30 feet . On your phone. Thats right. Telling you that youve left reporter its talking to you, remember how much i cost. Dont leave me here. But forget the price, it is, after all, a masterful design. Osgood next, a visit to the house of dior. The actual house of dior. Absolutely agelessยฎ night cream with active naturalsยฎ blackberry complex. Younger looking skin can start today. Osgood ah, france. This lavish music room at the breakers features a french piano. Today, france is where youll also find the house of dior. We dont mean the fashion business. We mean the actual house of the late Christian Dior. Seth doane is there, and hes got company. Reporter there was plenty to catch ones eye, as a seemingly endless line of mercedes deposited fashionistas, models, and an oscar winner. But even actress Charlize Theron agreed the real star of this night was the house. Im, like, living in a bit of a magical fantasy world right now. Reporter why . Well, just walking through here you cant help but try to image things that happen in rooms, and my imagination just goes crazy. Reporter just like legendary designer Christian Diors imagination did when he created this opulent retreat in the french countryside. Ive had, like, the biggest smile on my face since ive gotten here because it feels like its filled with joy. Reporter theron, the face of dior perfume for more than a decade, lent her star power earlier this year to the grand reopening of diors chateau de la colle noire nestled in the provence region of southern france. He create this place for his own happiness. Reporter dior historian frederic bourdelier showed us around. Even all of these decades later, dior still looms large here. Yes, yes. We are really proud of our founding father. Reporter dior bought the chateau in 1951 and started work on it, but then died unexpectedly just about six years later. The house fell into other hands until three years ago when, the Company Bought it back and started restoring it to the way it was. The detailobsessed dior had sketched out this entryway floor, just like he might have sketched a dress. Skills he demonstrated for edward r. Morrow on cbs person to person back in 1955. Now, just what is it that youre sketching there, mr. Dior . Im sketching a suit for this spring, a big color, an open neckline. Do you always sketch as quickly as that . Yes, i have to do it. Reporter by using old plans and photographs and buying back original furnishings at auction, the house is now part museum, part tribute, and a way for the company to reconnect with its roots. We are now in the personal, private apartment of Christian Dior in the middle of the castle, and we are in his personal office. Reporter dior was not always surrounded by such grandeur. A letter on his desk reveals just how far he had come fter moving with his family to the nearby hilltop town of callian, with few prospects. So dior writes this letter in 1940. 40, yeah. Reporter hes jobless, and six years later, he would create this company. Yes, and seven years after, hes the king of fashion. Reporter dior founded his fashionforward company in 1946, injecting glamour back into Womens Clothing in the wake of world war ii. Just after war, he he anticipate the desire of people to come back to the golden age of couture. Reporter dior dreamed up many of his designs at the chateau, gazing out the window at the fields and gardens that inspired his creativity. Christian dior had these rose buses out here like this . Yeah, exactly, because this castle was a farm, too. And he plant everything here, and especially rose trees, too. Reporter today, Armelle Janody tends to these roses, which only bloom in may. Theyre hand picked and used to make the companys highend perfume, just as they were when dior lived here. Theyre so fragrant. Yeah, this is the queen of the rose. Reporter these gardens are near the town of grasse, the socalled perfume capital of the world. Perfumers used to say it is a spicy rose. There are a lot of different fragrances in it. Reporter at 89, lucienne rostanio can barely see. But told us smelling the may rose took her back to when she picked flowers for dior himself in the mid 1950s. What do you remember of Christian Dior . He wasnt like those city guys, she recalled. He bought this property and made it so beautiful. Everybody in the village just adored him. Reporter so many years after his death, what is diors impact on the fashion world today . I dont think its a name that you can utter anywhere in the World Without people knowing what youre talking about. There is an essence that still is surviving through all these years. Reporter at that glamorous gran opening, a dinner table had been set for 180 yes, all at one table. The fragance of flowers filled the air, and the house of dior came alive once again. Osgood coming up theres no other place in this part of the city where youre going to have this view. Osgood living the high life. ,,,,, osgood when most of the mansion are designed, elegance meant building out. Today its about building up. Lee cowan takes the measure of the newest crop of skyscrapers. Reporter of all the manhattan skyscrapers, the Empire State Building finds itself in a curious position. Just look up at all its lofty modern neighbors. Theyre rail thin, like beanstalks sprouting above a forest of older, huskier buildings. And there are more going up all the time. The central park tower, set for completion in 2018, will soar more than 1,500 feet, making it the tallest residential building anywhere. Just a block away will be another 1,400plusfoot tower this one set to take the record for the worlds skinniest. These supertalls, as theyre called, will eventually make manhattan look more like a pin cushion, changing the skyline one really expensive condo at a time. Its not quite a closet. Reporter no, not at all. Its a bit of a grand space. Reporter theres no other place in this part of the city where youll have this view. No, no. Reporter developer Bruce Eichner is counting on the wealthy to buy into in this skyhigh skinny venture. This is going to be somebodys bedroom . Its going to be somebodys master bedroom. Reporter and how much would one pay for this kind of view . Well, for the full floor, which this one is, the price is approximately 20 million. Reporter the building is 65 stories tall, but with a tiny footprint. The building at its base is 75 feet wide. Reporter thats it. Thats it. And then it walks out each floor, about 4. 5 inches a floor, so when you get to the top of the building, youre 105 feet wide. Reporter theyre like giraffes balancing on one foot. But, perhaps more remarkable they exist solely because there are enough people willing to pay enough to live way up there. What youre buying is the view outside. What youre buying is the location in the sky, and thats what has value. Well, i started the museum in 1997. Reporter carol willis is the curator of new yorks skyscraper museum. Whats different, she says, is these new skyscrapers arent so much monuments to corporate capitalism, as they are monuments to personal wealth. Theyre the 21st century version of the Woolworth Building or the Empire State Building, a place where individuals can own a piece of the sky rather than a company or a developer. Reporter there is, of course, a cost to building so high, and it comes in the form of greenhouse gases. Whether its the wilshire grand under construction in los angeles or the Salesforce Tower soon to be coming to san francisco, the production of the cement used to build them emits carbon into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. But in a forest in southern oregon, Natures Renewable skyscrapers trees may just provide a more sustainable answer. As they grow, trees, take carbon out of the atmosphere, and even after theyre harvested, they store that carbon. So lone rock logging has decided to send some of its trees to a special mill that turns them into a new kind of green highrise building block. Its going to change the way we build here in the us. Reporter John Redfield is the chief operating officer at at that mill, dr johnson. Its the only lumber mill in the u. S. Certifired to make something called c. L. T. , which stands for crosslaminated timber. Its made by gluing together layer after layer of wood planks at 90degree angles, and then pressing it all into a thick panel. Now, we know what youre thinking weve been building with wood since weve been building anything. But what makes c. L. T. Unique is its as strong as steel and up to 5 times lighter than concrete, making these panels perfect to build a high rise. It basically took them about a day to put up all the columns. Reporter architect Thomas Robinson designed this fourstory, allwood building in portland using c. L. T. Its similar to buildings in europe, which has been using c. L. T. To build highrises for years. The Us Department of agriculture has wanted to spur more tall wood buildings here in the u. S. , so two years ago, it announced a 3 million prize for the best allwood design. Robinsons was one of the winners, this 12story, all wood, big brother to his shorter version, set to be built in Downtown Portland later this year. So when the 12story tower goes up, is it going to be something similar to this . Yeah, similar, but actually with thicker panels. Reporter there are skeptics, however, especially when it comes to fire, but robinson has an answer for that, too. People dont realize that wood has an inherent fire resistance when its actually large, and it doesnt lose its strength as it burns. Reporter that, combined with a smaller carbon footprint, is starting to grow on a lot of folks. And, says John Redfield, the look and smell of wood doesnt hurt, either. Whens the last time you saw somebody hug a concrete column, you know . They dont. They sure like to hug trees. Reporter wood high rises likely wont reach as tall as these made of steel and concrete, but theyll crane a few necks for sure. Skyscrapers, of whatever material, are signatures of our cities. They are time capsules of design that represent not only who we are but what and where wed like to be. Osgood next, nancy giles. Im so bad with plant, at a certain point i thought i would just get pictures of plant. Osgood how green is her garden .

Osgood potted palms were the interior decoration of choice in the lets 19th century here at the formal dining room at the breakers. As for the favored greenery of today, nancy giles has been doing a little looking. So ive been looking around my house lately, thinking somethings missing. Theres hardly anything living in my living room. I figured maybe a plant would help, but something hip something that will pop, as the designers say. So i hit new york citys flower district, where i met ashok kumar, a. K. To his friends. We have some beautiful bromelia. Reporter a. K. Runs tropical plants and orchids. What else have we got over here . This is called alocosia. They look like elephant ears. And what about those bushes over there . This one is called bobcat orchid. A. K. , whats this one here . My mom used to grow this. This one is called corn plants. But i didnt want the same old. I wanted cutting edge. A. K. Showed me whats properly called the fiddle leaf fig. It might seem familiar if youre the type who drools over design magazines. Talk to me about the fiddle leaf fig. What is the big deal with that plant . So the fiddle leaf fig is kind of the craze in the design world right now. Its really, really beautiful. Its an african fig tree that doesnt produce actual figs, by the way. And interior designer brad sherman has been putting it to work. You can put it into a minimalist loft, and it goes great with all sorts of interiors. But beauty isnt everything. I have one small issue. Im so bad with plants. At at a certain point, i thought i would just get pictures of plants. Sure. Because everything i make ends up right, right, yeah. You know, dying. A. K. Insisted thats not a problem with the fiddle leaf fig. This is very easy. People dont have time, especially in new york. Yes, were very busy in new york. You have to water once a week. Brad sherman begs to differ. Fiddle leafs, i think, are are more emotional plants. They what do you mean, emotional . Do they cry . Theyre sensitive. And thats why brad is already moving on. He showed me his yucca, which he thinks is the next it plant. It doesnt need constant attention and watering, it definitely will withstand a little bit of neglect. This is so pretty. Thank you very much. But i wasnt giving up on the fiddle leaf fig. Here it is. I went for a third opinion. So how old is she . Ten years, actually. This is a 10yearold plant . 10yearold plant. How did you keep it alive for so long . Some people would say neglect. Landscape designer Hadley Peterson has a beloved fiddle leaf fig tucked away in her new jersey home. Are you feeling, like, the hipness of you making a statement with the plant . I dont know about that. Ive never kind of felt hip in my life, but if thats it, take it. And that clinched it. I brought home my very own fiddle leaf fig. Figgy and i have an agreement hell increase my hipness factor, and ill do my best to keep him alive. Osgood some food for thought just ahead. ,, hush my darling. Dont fear my darling. The lion sleeps tonight. [snoring. ] hush my darling. [snoring. ] dont fear my darling. The lion sleeps tonight. [snoring. ] take the roar out of snore. Therthat can be serious,ere. Even fatal to infants. Its whooping cough, and people can spread it without knowing it. Understand the danger your new grandchild faces. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about reporter nothing quite says dig in like this unmistakable sight. Theres something really iconic about the chinese takeout box. You see it, and you know exactly what it means. Reporter so iconic, in fact, that peter kim will soon be featuring it in new yorks museum of food and drink, where he is executive director. Its a Pretty Amazing piece of design. Its all cut from one piece of paper, and its folded up, so you dont have any seams. And what that means is that theres no place for liquids to actually seep out. Reporter yet, most people who get their chinese food dont look at that and say, what a great box. No, but it is is a wondrous thing. , reporter a wonderous work of origami to which you never give a second thought, even on your second helping. Reporter when did this box come over from china . Oh, well, in fact, it never came over from china. It is a uniquely american invention. Reporter this is an american invention . Thats right. Reporter it was patented in 1894 by chicago inventor Frederick Weeks wilcox. In the 1970s, that red pagoda, popularized in san francisco, was added along with, thank you, and enjoy. As for the food inside chineseamerican cuisine itself is very different from food you find in china. Reporter so we have american food, basically, in an american box, and we all think that were going around being ethnic . Yes, chinese food in the chinese takeout box is as american as apple pie. Reporter and this is as chinese as i am . Yeah, thats right. Reporter no surprise then that the takeout box is made in the usa. The Biggest Company churns out a whopping 300 million a year. There are over 40,000 chinese restaurants in the u. S. And just to put that in context for you, thats nearly three times as many mcdonalds as there are in the u. S. Reporter there are three times there are three times more chinese restaurants than mcdonalds . Almost, yeah. Reporter but back to that iconic box. Peter kim likes to save the best for last. And im going to let you in on a little secret. Not only is this takeout container great for holding in food, but if you just pop out the wire handle like that, and go like that. Reporter okay. Then the container turns out, turns into a really nifty little plate. Reporter oh, wow. You have done america a Great Service in pointing this out. I know. I know. Reporter something to keep in mind at your next swanky dinner party. There we go, more or less. Yeah. Weve got to get the ball off this way. Osgood still to come. Maybe take it down a little bit where you are. Osgood designing golfer, Jack Nicklaus. And later. Nothing compares to the design of a doubledecker bus. Osgood meet a driven designer. ,,,,,, osgood mr. Vanderbilt and his guests played the indoor game in a wall designed with marbles. As for the outdoor game. Our time, if the sport is golf, the designer is golfing great Jack Nicklaus. Jim axelrod takes us out to the green reporter it may look like a barren wasteland, but actually this is just a step on the path to paradise. At least when this guy gets involved. I think this is too busy here. Lets expand the lake and make sure we see water all the way on the right edge. Reporter Jack Nicklaus maybe, yes, sir reporter widely considered the greatest golfer in history, is also among the most prolific golf course designers the game has ever known. I think this spot right here is just a little high. Reporter on this sunday morning, he is leading the charge at La Gorce Country Club in miami beach with his design team in tow. Hes been hired to redo the course, one of more than 400 his company has designed around the world. When you were playing, it was you against other golfers. This is you against the land. It fights back, too. Reporter different kind of opponent. Thats right. Well, you try to make the land and the wind, and the weather be your friend. So you try to design around those elements so youre not fighting them, but youre actually using them to help you. Reporter hes got no formal training, but at 76, hes collected a lifetime of golf knowledge, right down to the smallest grain of sand. We supplemented it and that allowed it to compact a little bit and it plays a lot better. Reporter nicklaus was a ferocious competitor who won a 18 of golfs major championships over 25 years. Once the competitive part of your playing career was on the the downside on the downside. Its okay. Reporter did the well, i mean hey, we all go there. Reporter did the intensity of your desire to build the the course Design Business then ramp up . A little bit. But then about 1983 or 4, the fellow who was my c. E. O. Of my company came to me. , and im doing half a dozen golf courses a year. And he says, jack, dont you think its about time you made your avocation a vocation . Reporter it took him a while for his design philosophy to evolve, at first thinking like the champion he was as a player. I got a reputation of building golf courses too hard because i was doing it for tournaments. Reporter but the longer he stayed at it, the more he started to think like a businessman. It shouldnt be about my ego. The person who is doing that golf course probably has his own ego. Its not not my job to go out and do a golf course that suits me. Its my job to do a golf course that suits them. Reporter which is not to say his long list of courses doesnt include some of the best in the game Muirfield Village near his hometown of columbus, ohio. Valhalla in lousville, kentucky. Castle pines in colorado. Golf digest currently ranks them all in the top 100 courses in the country. But threequarters of his work today is overseas, like these projects in vietnam and thailand. Jack, youre 76. What are you going to turkmenistan for . To do a golf course. Most people work all their life to retire to play golf. Well, i played golf all my life to retire to work. Reporter hes getting just what he wanted. On the road 200 days a year, his brand extends far beyond golf course design, not just the golf merchandise youd expect, but wine, lemonade, even ice cream, with a portion of the profits going to charities the nicklaus family supports. Mr. Jack nicklaus reporter youve won the congressional gold medal. Youve won the president ial medal of freedom. Youre not a guy who needs to say, gee, what did i do with my life . So why press so hard now . Is this to build a business to leave to your family . Thats part of it. I need to leave that for my kids, my grandkids, and leave the legacy of a brand, and something that ive left here. Reporter Jack Nicklaus knows an awful lot has come his way, simply thru his astonishing ability to hit a golf ball. Absolutely perfect is there an area youre supposed to keep or what reporter yet another way to be remembered. My walk up the 18th fairway at augusta is something i remember and i cherish. Itll be with me all my life. But this golf course is going to be here for a long time, long beyond my golf game and my lifetime, for a lot of people to enjoy and have fun with. Thats a legacy that you cant leave by just hitting a golf shot. Osgood still to come, a new take on old standards. 360 degrees, hes out and hes in. Aines are moments gained with excedrin. 1 neurologist recommended. [heartbeat] if youre using this toothpaste, youre probably expecting to get visibly whiter teeth, but it only removes surface stains, and clinical tests show that it only provides about a halfshade of whitening. New colgate optic white high impact white is different. It contains hydrogen peroxide, a professionally recommended whitening ingredient. It goes beyond surface stains to deeply whiten. It whitens four shades, and that is a visible difference in whitening. Colgate optic white high impact white toothpaste. Glawz we like to think that good architecture is timeless, but the man Anthony Mason now introduces us to says think again. The best way to see the city used to be at the front of a doubledecker buck. Now its the back, too. The back has become so fantastic. 360 degrees, view out and view in. Reporter in Thomas Heatherwicks work, his redesign of londons classic doubledecker bus, the cauldron he created for the london olympics, or dealing withs New California headquarters, you wont find a signature style. But the 46yearold british designer says the world is growing too similiar. Theres great benefits to globalization and things that are wonderful and fantastic. But it means you need to try to put very deliberate effort now into helping things have their own soulfulness. Reporter similarity is your enemy . Well, why do something that already exists . Reporter heatherwicks provocative work was celebrated at the Cooper Hewitt museum in new york last year. Reporter when the wall street journal proclaimed him design innovator of the year, you should hear this. So noisy. Reporter in his london studio. We knew it could rock, but we hadnt really thought through that it could then go all the way round. Reporter . Where heatherwick has also dreamed up a spinning chair. This is the rolling bridge . And a rolling bridge that curls up to let boats pass. Heatherwicke and his team of 180 architects, artists and designers are now about to make their mark in america, redesigning the interiors of the geffen theatre at new yorks Lincoln Center and creating the pier 55 park this side elevation. Reporter to be built on 280 pilings in the hudson river. When did you first get interested in design . When i was little i was very tuned into the functionality and astoatibs around me. Reporter his father, an educator and pianist, and his mother, a jewelry designer, fed his fascination for ideas. Did you at some point find yourself making drawings of ideas of your own . I thought i wanted to be an inventor, but then discovered you couldnt study inventing. And in britain, you know, everyones got the chittty chitty bang bang mentality, which is that inventor has the word mad stuck at the beginning of it. Reporter after graduating from Royal College of art, he launched his own studio in 1994. Even though london is famous for the doubledecker buses, they werent considered part of our architectural her tan. Reporter six years ago, he was commissioned to do the first redesign of the doubledecker bus in half a century. Were you at all nervous about having to deal with something so iconic . I felt a huge responsibility. Reporter heatherwick added a door up front and a sweeping window to the back. This has to do lots of jobs, and our role was to try to make something that would do all that. But, also, i mean, you can see nothing compares to the front of a doubledecker bus. Reporter heatherwicks most celebrated design may be the british pavilion he created for the shanghai world expo in 2010. And it seemed like do we does britain yet again talk about castles and queens and Sherlock Holmes . Reporter instead, he wanted to highlight london as one of the greenest cities in the world. What if we built a seed cathedral . And everyones going, a seed cathedral . You mean, like a nut shop . and we were going no. Reporter so he implanted seeds in the ends of 60,000 acrylic rods. And if you hold it to the light, you see the daylight would come down and illuminate. Reporter the dandelionshaped structure won first prize and drew 8 million visitors. His next marquee project is a garden bridge. The underside of the bridge, it felt, must be something thats beautiful. Reporter a pedestrian walkway that will extend nearly 1000 feet across the thames river. In effect, these are like hands coming out of the clay at the base of thames, holding up a garden, and the garden takes over from there. Reporter do you feel like youre trying to show people something, like, hey, look. This is what we can do . Yes. Its very hard to make things happen. There are a lot of forces against anything with any specialness happening. So when something at all special happens, i feel very appreciative of it osgood the qtip, next. Yourm wont walk in on you.

Free for everyone, even if youre not a customer. Reporter so these are qtip flowers . Yes, its a bouquet of qtips reporter you heard right a bouquet of qtips. Evidence, to suzanne palentchar, of the genius behind this everyday product. I think people do take it fo granted, but thats okay. I dont need them to think about it as an engineering feat. Reporter but she certainly does. Palentchar heads up skin Care Marketing at the u. S. Division of unilever, the maker of qtips. How much design is there in a little paper stick . I mean, dont mistake simplicity for lack of mastery or engineering. Reporter the qtip hit the market in the 1920s as a tiny tool for baby care. Since then, its gone from wooden sticks to paper sticks, but one thing has never changed the amount of cotton on both ends of the paper stick. Actually, the diameter of that cotton is exactly the same for every single swab. Reporter you are kidding. No upon you should look at them under a microscope. Its that good reporter that very precision that seems to drive qtip fans right over the edge. Well hear them say things, like when they open the box of qtips, they get, like, a little rush by looking at how perfectly theyre all lined up and the those are the meticulous moms reporter yeah. Reporter the o. C. D. Set . Well, ill leave it to you describe them. Were going to be talking about qtips today. You tube is awash in new ways to use this old standby. Heres an art activity you can do with your child, and its qtip painting. Reporter but among the most common uses is one even the manufacturer says is a very bad idea. What we say is on every pack that we sell, do not put qtips into your ear canal. Reporter it doesnt do any good. Thats what people do with them . Well, they shouldnt be using them for that, especially when there are so many other Amazing Things they can use them for. Reporter whatever amazing thing you do with them, youre unlikely to run out. We produce 32 billion swabs a year. And thats enough swabs that if you laid them out, you could go to the moon and back over three times. Reporter if you say so. So think about that the next time you reach for a qtip or reach for the moon. Just dont reach for your ear. Which ar osgood next, smooth sailing. Gary, gary, gary. I am proud of you, my man.

Thats weatherly, the boat that won the americas cup back in 1962. Crews battled for the cup in the waters off newport from 1930 to 1983. In more recent times, the venues have changed in more recent years, and so have the boats.
