"Home" a must see documentary before it's too late



Home

An environmental crisis documentary

We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10
years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural
resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.

The
stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in
the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of
mobilization out to every human being.

For this purpose, HOME
needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible.
EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit
because Home is a non-profit film.

HOME has been made for you : share it! And act for the planet.

Millau Viaduct in France pradeep singh Bridges are often considered to belong to the engineer's realm rather than the architect's. But the architecture of infrastructure has a powerful impact on the environment. The Millau Viaduct, designed in collaboration with engineers, illustrates how the architect can play an integral role in bridge design.

Plot:
The British Museum is home to a remarkable collection of treasures from around the world, including its famous Egyptian mummies, the Elgin Marbles, the Rosetta Stone and the Sutton Hoo helmet. Looking after them are some 800 staff who maintain the galleries,


plan major exhibitions, restore precious objects and manage a flow of 4.5 million visitors each year. Rupert Smith has been granted special access to the huge variety of people who work in the Museum - from its expert curators and the conservators who preserve the collection for future generations, to heavy-object handlers and the people who clean the fabulous new glass roof of its Great Court. Accompanying a major ten-part BBC television series, "The Museum" takes us behind the scenes for the first time to see how this amazing place works. Illustrated with over 120 colour photographs, and with a foreword by the Museum's director, Neil MacGregor, this fascinating book is a celebration of the British Museum and the many dedicated people who work there. An unprecedented look behind the scenes of the British Museum
