Hello and welcome to the curator of Monaco Radio with me, Fernando Gusto Pacheco.
Over the next 60 minutes, I'll be bringing some of the very best interviews and reports from the past week, including an interview with Mexican chef Santiago Lastra.
Some of the preparations of the dishes at Cole take weeks, sometimes months.
Plus, we'll recap Monaco's Quality of Life conference in Istanbul with award winning architect Richard England.
You use concrete, you use wood, and you build a house.
That is construction.
You touch my heart.
That is architecture.
All that and much more in the next hour here on the Curator with me, Fernando Gusto Pacheco.
And as I just said there.
We start the show with a recap of Monaco's Quality of of life conference in the beautiful city of Istanbul, where we met award winning architect, poet and artist Richard England, who imbued his design work with a strong sense of place rooted in local materials and plenty of color.
I can't stop myself growing old, but I struggle desperately to keep myself young and to stop myself growing in terms of not age, but enthusiasm, curiosity.
It always reminds me of the words of the author of the Never Ending Story, Michael Ende, who said, man dies when the last part of the child in him becomes an adult.
So I struggled to keep young.
But, you know, when you get to my age, it's like a little bit of being an old building.
You need maintenance.
So one and you also get, you get privileges.
I mean, I got a chair, which I see the other, I see the other.
The other speakers have had to stand.
So there are plus marks.
