Why grow增长 homes家园? Because we can.
0
1000
3000
为什么要让房子长起来?因为我们能做到。
00:19
Right now, America美国 is in an unremitting不懈 state of trauma外伤.
1
4000
3000
当前,美国正处在一种持续损伤的状态中。
00:22
And there's a cause原因 for that, all right.
2
7000
2000
这是有原因的。
00:24
We've我们已经 got McPeopleMcPeople, McCarsMcCars, McHousesMcHouses.
3
9000
3000
我们有不健康的人、不健康的车、和不健康的房子。
00:27
As an architect建筑师, I have to confront面对 something like this.
4
12000
3000
作为一个建筑师,我不得不面对这样的现状。
00:30
So what's a technology技术 that will allow允许 us
5
15000
2000
那么,什么样的技术可以让我们
00:32
to make ginormous极大的相 houses房屋?
6
17000
2000
建出巨大的房子呢?
00:34
Well, it's been around for 2,500 years年份.
7
19000
3000
嗯,这种技术已经存在大约2500年了。
00:37
It's called pleachingpleaching, or grafting嫁接 trees树木 together一起,
8
22000
3000
它叫“编织法”,或者说是将树木移植嫁接到一起,
00:40
or grafting嫁接 inosculateinosculate matter into one contiguous邻近的, vascular血管 system系统.
9
25000
3000
将可以融合的物质嫁接到一起,形成一个血脉相连的系统。
00:43
And we do something different不同
10
28000
2000
我们做的
00:45
than what we did in the past过去;
11
30000
2000
与过去略有不同。
00:47
we add kind of a modicum点点 of intelligence情报 to that.
12
32000
2000
我们在其中加入了一点点“智慧”的元素。
00:49
We use CNCCNC to make scaffolding脚手架
13
34000
2000
我们利用计算机数控(CNC)技术建造脚手架,
00:51
to train培养 semi-epithetic半epithetic matter, plants植物,
14
36000
2000
将植物的苗
00:53
into a specific具体 geometry几何
15
38000
2000
编织成特定的几何形体。
00:55
that makes品牌 a home that we call a FabFAB Tree Hab.
16
40000
3000
这种几何形体就是我们称之为“绝妙树居(Fab Tree Hab)”的雏形。
00:58
It fits适合 into the environment环境. It is the environment环境.
17
43000
2000
它和环境融为一体。它本身就是环境。
01:00
It is the landscape景观, right?
18
45000
2000
它就是风景,是的。
01:02
And you can have a hundred million百万 of these homes家园,
19
47000
2000
你可以造出成万上亿的这种房子。
01:04
and it's great because they suck吮吸 carbon.
20
49000
2000
这个想法很绝妙,因为它们吸收二氧化碳。
01:06
They're perfect完善.
21
51000
2000
它们很完美。
01:08
You can have 100 million百万 families家庭, or take things out of the suburbs郊区,
22
53000
3000
你可以让一亿个家庭搬进郊区里的这种新居,郊外里无用的东西不复存在,
01:11
because these are homes家园 that are a part部分 of the environment环境.
23
56000
3000
因为这些家都成了环境的一部分。
01:14
Imagine想像 pre-growing预增 a village --
24
59000
2000
想象一下预先种植的村庄 -
01:16
it takes about seven to 10 years年份 --
25
61000
2000
大概花了7-10年 -
01:18
and everything is green绿色.
26
63000
3000
一切都是绿色的。
01:21
So not only do we do the veggie素食主义者 house,
27
66000
3000
我们不仅种植物居所,
01:24
we also do the in-vitro体外 meat habitat栖息地,
28
69000
3000
也研究通过试管培植肉来长出居所,
01:27
or homes家园 that we're doing research研究 on now in Brooklyn布鲁克林,
29
72000
3000
我们正在布鲁克林做相关的研究。
01:30
where, as an architecture建筑 office办公室, we're for the first of its kind
30
75000
3000
那里作为一个建筑办公室,史无前例地,
01:33
to put in a molecular分子 cell细胞 biology生物学 lab实验室
31
78000
3000
在实验室里首次引入分子细胞学,
01:36
and start开始 experimenting试验 with regenerative再生 medicine医学
32
81000
2000
并开始做可再生药品的实验,
01:38
and tissue组织 engineering工程
33
83000
2000
以及组织工程。
01:40
and start开始 thinking思维 about what the future未来 would be
34
85000
2000
我们开始想着把建筑和生物结合在一起,
01:42
if architecture建筑 and biology生物学 became成为 one.
35
87000
2000
我们的未来会怎样。
01:44
So we've我们已经 been doing this for a couple一对 of years年份, and that's our lab实验室.
36
89000
3000
我们从事这些研究有几年了,那就是我们的实验室。
01:47
And what we do is we grow增长
37
92000
2000
我们所做的就是从猪身上
01:49
extracellular matrix矩阵 from pigs.
38
94000
2000
提取细胞外基质并让它生长。
01:51
We use a modified改性 inkjet喷墨 printer打印机,
39
96000
2000
我们使用一种改良过的喷墨打印机
01:53
and we print打印 geometry几何.
40
98000
2000
并用它来打印几何体。
01:55
We print打印 geometry几何 where we can make industrial产业 design设计 objects对象
41
100000
3000
我们打印可以制作出工业设计品的几何体
01:58
like, you know, shoes, leather皮革 belts皮带,
42
103000
2000
例如大家都知道的鞋、皮带
02:00
handbags手袋, etc等等.,
43
105000
2000
手提包等等。
02:02
where no sentient有情 creature生物 is harmed伤害.
44
107000
2000
在此过程中,没有有感官的生物会受到伤害。
02:04
It's victimless受害人的. It's meat from a test测试 tube.
45
109000
2000
这个过程中没有受害者。用的肉来自于试管。
02:06
So our theory理论 is that eventually终于
46
111000
2000
我们的理论是,最终,
02:08
we should be doing this with homes家园.
47
113000
2000
我们应该把这项技能用在制造家园上。
02:10
So here is a typical典型 stud螺柱 wall,
48
115000
2000
这是一面典型的立柱墙
02:12
an architectural建筑的 construction施工,
49
117000
2000
建筑结构。
02:14
and this is a section部分
50
119000
2000
这是我们“肉屋”计划
02:16
of our proposal提案 for a meat house,
51
121000
2000
的一个部分
02:18
where you can see we use fatty脂肪 cells细胞 as insulation绝缘,
52
123000
2000
从中你可以看到,我们用脂肪丰富的细胞做隔热体,
02:20
cilia纤毛 for dealing交易 with wind loads负载
53
125000
2000
用纤毛承受风力,
02:22
and sphincter括约肌 muscles肌肉 for the doors and windows视窗.
54
127000
3000
用括约肌做门窗。
02:25
(Laughter笑声)
55
130000
3000
(观众笑声)
02:28
And we know it's incredibly令人难以置信 ugly丑陋.
56
133000
2000
我们知道这让人难以置信地丑。
02:30
It could have been an English英语 Tudor都铎 or Spanish西班牙语 Colonial殖民,
57
135000
3000
它可以被建成英国都铎建筑式,或者西班牙殖民风格的建筑,
02:33
but we kind of chose选择 this shape形状.
58
138000
2000
但是我们还是选了一个大概如此的形状。
02:35
And there it is kind of grown长大的, at least最小 one particular特定 section部分 of it.
59
140000
3000
那里它像是已经成长起来了,至少部分成长起来了。
02:38
We had a big show显示 in Prague布拉格,
60
143000
2000
我们在布拉格进行了一场大展览。
02:40
and we decided决定 to put it in front面前 of the cathedral大教堂
61
145000
2000
并且我们决定将它放在大教堂门前,
02:42
so religion宗教 can confront面对 the house of meat.
62
147000
3000
这样宗教之屋与科技之屋就迎面遭遇了。
02:45
That's why we grow增长 homes家园. Thanks谢谢 very much.
63
150000
2000
这就是我们“种植”家园的原因。非常感谢。
02:47
(Applause掌声)
64
