Trenutno je Amerika v neprestani travmi

As an architectarhitekt, I have to confrontsoočiti se something like this.

3000
Kot arhitekt se moram s tem spopasti.
00:30
So what's a technologytehnologijo that will allowdovolite us

Kaj je torej tehnologija, ki nam bo omogočila,
00:32
to make ginormousginormous houseshiše?

2000
da naredimo gromozanske hiše?
00:34
Well, it's been around for 2,500 yearslet.

No, obstaja že 2.500 let.
00:37
It's calledpozval pleachingpleaching, or graftingcepljenje treesdrevesa togetherskupaj,

ali vcepljanje spojenih stvari v en povezan žilni sistem.
00:43
And we do something differentdrugačen
10
28000
2000
Mi pa delamo nekoliko drugače,
00:45
than what we did in the pastpreteklost;
11
30000
2000
kot smo v preteklosti.
00:47
we adddodaj kindvrste of a modicummala of intelligenceinteligenca to that.
12
32000
2000
Temu dodamo ščepec inteligence.
00:49
We use CNCCNC to make scaffoldingoder
13
34000
2000
S pomočjo CNC (računalniško vodenih strojev) naredimo ogrodje,
00:51
to trainvlak semi-epitheticSemi-epithetic matterzadevo, plantsrastline,
14

2000
da bi vzgojili pol-kvalifikacijske vrste rastlin
00:53

15

2000
v določeno geometrijo.
00:55
that makesnaredi a home that we call a FabFab TreeDrevo HabHab.
16
40000
3000
ki tvori dom, ki mu mi pravimo Fab Tree Hab (fantastično drevesno bivališče).
00:58
It fitsUjema into the environmentokolje. It is the environmentokolje.
17

2000
Prilega se okolju. Je okolje.
01:00
It is the landscapepokrajina, right?
18
45000
2000
Je pokrajina.
01:02
And you can have a hundredsto millionmilijonov of these homesdomove,
19
47000
2000
In lahko imate na stotine milijonov teh domov.
01:04
and it's great because they sucksesajte carbonogljik.
20
49000
2000
In so imenitni, ker vsrkavajo ogljik.
01:06
They're perfectpopolno.
21
51000
2000
Popolni so.
01:08
You can have 100 millionmilijonov familiesdružine, or take things out of the suburbspredmestja,
22
53000
3000
Lahko imate 100 milijonov družin, ali pa vzamete stvari iz predmestij,
01:11
because these are homesdomove that are a partdel of the environmentokolje.
23
56000
3000
ker ti domovi so del okolja.
01:14
ImaginePredstavljajte si pre-growingpre-raste a villagevas --
24
59000

Predstavljajte si, da vzgojite vas --
01:16
it takes about sevensedem to 10 yearslet --
25
61000
2000
to traja nekje od 7 do 10 let --
01:18
and everything is greenzelena.
26
63000
3000
in vse je zeleno.
01:21
So not only do we do the veggieveggie househiša,
27
66000
3000
Torej, ne samo, da delamo vege-hiše,
01:24
we alsotudi do the in-vitrov in vitro meatmeso habitathabitat,
28
69000
3000
delamo tudi bivališča iz mesa iz epruvetke,
01:27
or homesdomove that we're doing researchraziskave on now in BrooklynBrooklyn,

ali domove, ki jih trenutno raziskujemo v Brooklynu,
01:30
where, as an architecturearhitektura officeurad, we're for the first of its kindvrste

if architecturearhitektura and biologybiologija becamepostati one.
35
87000
2000
če arhitektura in biologija postaneta eno.
01:44
So we'vesmo been doing this for a couplepar of yearslet, and that's our lablaboratorij.
36
89000
3000
To torej počnemo nekaj let in to je naš laboratorij.
01:47
And what we do is we growrastejo

In naše delo je gojenje

izvenceličnih matric iz svinj.
01:51
We use a modifiedspremenil inkjetinkjet printertiskalnik,
39

2000
Uporabljamo prirejen brizgalni tiskalnik.
01:53
and we printnatisnite geometrygeometrija.
40

2000
In tiskamo geometrijo.
01:55
We printnatisnite geometrygeometrija where we can make industrialindustrijski designoblikovanje objectspredmetov
41
100000
3000
Geometrijo tiskamo, kjer lahko delamo predmete industrijskega oblikovanja
01:58
like, you know, shoesčevlji, leatherusnje beltspasovi,
42

2000
kot so, saj veste, čevlji, usnjeni pasovi,

pri čemer ne poškodujemo nobenega čutečega bitja.
02:04
It's victimlessžrtev. It's meatmeso from a testtest tubecev.
45
109000
2000
Je brez žrtev. Je meso iz epruvete.
02:06
So our theoryteorija is that eventuallysčasoma
46
111000
2000
Naša teorija je torej, da bi sčasoma
02:08
we should be doing this with homesdomove.
47
113000
2000
to morali početi z našimi domovi.
02:10
So here is a typicaltipično studžrebec wallzid,

In tu je prerez

2000
našega predloga za hišo iz mesa,
02:18
where you can see we use fattymaščobne cellscelice as insulationizolacija,
52
123000
2000
kjer lahko vidite, da uporabljamo maščobne celice za izolacijo,

02:28
And we know it's incrediblyneverjetno uglygrdo.
56
133000
2000
In vemo, da je neverjetno grda.
02:30
It could have been an Englishangleščina TudorTudor or Spanishšpanščina ColonialKolonialne,
57
135000
3000
Lahko bi bil angleški tudorski ali španski kolonialni slog,
02:33
but we kindvrste of choseizbral this shapeobliko.
58
138000
2000
ampak smo nekako izbrali to obliko.
02:35
And there it is kindvrste of growngoji, at leastvsaj one particularzlasti sectionoddelek of it.
59

3000
In tukaj je, na nek način vzgojena, vsaj določen njen del.
02:38
We had a bigvelik showshow in PraguePraga,
60
143000
2000
V Pragi smo imeli veliko razstavo.
02:40
and we decidedodločil to put it in frontspredaj of the cathedralkatedrala
61
145000
2000
In odločili smo se, da jo postavimo pred katedralo,
02:42
so religionreligija can confrontsoočiti se the househiša of meatmeso.
62
147000
3000
da se lahko religija sooči s hišo iz mesa.
02:45
That's why we growrastejo homesdomove. Thankshvala very much.
63
150000
2000
Zato gojimo domove. Najlepša lepa.
