Phillipe is interested in how architecture can provide a glimpse into how people live all around the world. He travels to some of the most unique spots and culture on the planet to see what they have to offer. Starting in Milan, an industrial city with only 4% of parks and gardens, are two huge green towers called the Bosco Verticale. This is the first time vegetation has been used for architectural purposes in a high rise building. Next, Phillipe heads to the Korowai people deep in the jungle of Papua who live impressive dwellings on top of trees.

❤ astonishing and gorgeous
“So the tree is…underneath the treehouse? Marcus my snappy dressing friend, you have blown my mind.”
Wow what an amazing building. I would love to live there.
Now if they wiuld make these plantings food gardens that'll really be something
there will be many more in the western world to accommodate mass immigration.. That is what is about. However they won't mention that
Make a food forest.
The maintenance to live in a babel tower like this looks quite huge… Not affordable and in the long run, it is not "eco-friendly" either…
The energy usage, the resources used (reinforced steel beams and reinforced concrete to sustain the extra weight etc) must be much higher than convencional skyscrappers
The second episode, I saw around a year ago. I have a few questions. Why do you find his determination to stay troubling? Aren't parental controls and restriction mode for those that are too young to handle seeing nakedness without it being sexual? So why is a good portion of the screen blurred? These people are not uncomfortable and notice neither are the children because they are not raised and taught that naked is only sexual and that they should be embarrassed and or feel objectified. That is only wrong in our culture made mostly by history's puritans and the like. The womens jewelry, indigenous, um for lack of a better word lets say accessories are of great interest to me as I design my jewelry based on seeing it where that is not the focus at all and that way theres no special attention made to it and so its completely authentic. You cant get it from almost any American movie as you cant get any more inauthentic than that and now that practice has spread to worldwide productions. So Im just disappointed that as adults and knowing its very likely there are NO children watching this anyways that we arent mature enough to handle some indigenous nakedness. I mean how did you and youre crew manage it must have been so hard to not stare and make stupid jokes later at your hotel. It is 2023 and I think maybe people need to notice this.
Unrelated Im curious how did you know his language? What language was it? How many do you know? And what was his real name as Im sure it wasnt Marcus. I guess that would be another thing is that its insane that people have to change their name to fit westerners ease at the sake of peoples dignity and identity and well that wrong too.
We would force them to dress as we do to come into our home, cities. They should make us do the same.
Wow wow wow! I love the idea of incorporating nature with modern buildings. There are giant tree towers in Singapore also built and it has so many plants and shrubs in it and I really love that too. This one is another level because it is a residential building. I hope to live in that kind of place. Ohhh it feels so fresh with those greeneries and the view from outside is so freaking beautiful!
The buildings in the first part seek to incorporate a bit of nature, but in a commodity/utilitarian way. The dwellings are highly EX-clusive and promote the separation of classes of people. The residents are prevented from interacting with that bit of nature on their own terrace. In the second part, the people who dwell in the forest, build homes that align with the available materials and the needs the dwelling fulfills like being lifted clear of the wetness — and affording an elevated view. I believe there exists a harmonized middle point between these two greatly contrasting type homes — one that does not promote elitist lifestyles but makes good dwellings that harmonize with the natural world to everyone, and which while they elevate us beyond the forest, still embrace the forest that dwells in all our hearts.
