Why grow homes? Because we can. Right now, America is in an unremitting state of trauma. And there's a cause for that, all right. We've got McPeople, McCars, McHouses. As an architect, I have to confront something like this.
Zakaj gojiti domove? Ker jih lahko. Trenutno je Amerika v neprestani travmi in za to obstaja dober razlog. Imamo McLjudi, McAvte, McHiše. Kot arhitekt se moram s tem spopasti.
So what's a technology that will allow us to make ginormous houses? Well, it's been around for 2,500 years. It's called pleaching, or grafting trees together, or grafting inosculate matter into one contiguous, vascular system. And we do something different than what we did in the past; we add kind of a modicum of intelligence to that. We use CNC to make scaffolding to train semi-epithetic matter, plants, into a specific geometry that makes a home that we call a Fab Tree Hab. It fits into the environment. It is the environment. It is the landscape, right?
Kaj je torej tehnologija, ki nam bo omogočila, da naredimo gromozanske hiše? No, obstaja že 2.500 let. Reče se ji prepletanje ali cepljenje dreves, ali vcepljanje spojenih stvari v en povezan žilni sistem. Mi pa delamo nekoliko drugače, kot smo v preteklosti. Temu dodamo ščepec inteligence. S pomočjo CNC (računalniško vodenih strojev) naredimo ogrodje, da bi vzgojili pol-kvalifikacijske vrste rastlin v določeno geometrijo. ki tvori dom, ki mu mi pravimo Fab Tree Hab (fantastično drevesno bivališče). Prilega se okolju. Je okolje. Je pokrajina.
And you can have a hundred million of these homes, and it's great because they suck carbon. They're perfect. You can have 100 million families, or take things out of the suburbs, because these are homes that are a part of the environment. Imagine pre-growing a village -- it takes about seven to 10 years -- and everything is green.
In lahko imate na stotine milijonov teh domov. In so imenitni, ker vsrkavajo ogljik. Popolni so. Lahko imate 100 milijonov družin, ali pa vzamete stvari iz predmestij, ker ti domovi so del okolja. Predstavljajte si, da vzgojite vas -- to traja nekje od 7 do 10 let -- in vse je zeleno.
So not only do we do the veggie house, we also do the in-vitro meat habitat, or homes that we're doing research on now in Brooklyn, where, as an architecture office, we're for the first of its kind to put in a molecular cell biology lab and start experimenting with regenerative medicine and tissue engineering and start thinking about what the future would be if architecture and biology became one.
Torej, ne samo, da delamo vege-hiše, delamo tudi bivališča iz mesa iz epruvetke, ali domove, ki jih trenutno raziskujemo v Brooklynu, kjer, kot arhitekturna pisarna, prva te vrste, ki je vgradila laboratorij za molekularno celično biologijo in začela eksperimentirati z regenerativno medicino in inženiringom tkiva in začela razmišljati o tem, kakšna bo prihodnost, če arhitektura in biologija postaneta eno.
So we've been doing this for a couple of years, and that's our lab. And what we do is we grow extracellular matrix from pigs. We use a modified inkjet printer, and we print geometry. We print geometry where we can make industrial design objects like, you know, shoes, leather belts, handbags, etc., where no sentient creature is harmed. It's victimless. It's meat from a test tube. So our theory is that eventually we should be doing this with homes.
To torej počnemo nekaj let in to je naš laboratorij. In naše delo je gojenje izvenceličnih matric iz svinj. Uporabljamo prirejen brizgalni tiskalnik. In tiskamo geometrijo. Geometrijo tiskamo, kjer lahko delamo predmete industrijskega oblikovanja kot so, saj veste, čevlji, usnjeni pasovi, ročne torbice, itd., pri čemer ne poškodujemo nobenega čutečega bitja. Je brez žrtev. Je meso iz epruvete. Naša teorija je torej, da bi sčasoma to morali početi z našimi domovi.
So here is a typical stud wall, an architectural construction, and this is a section of our proposal for a meat house, where you can see we use fatty cells as insulation, cilia for dealing with wind loads and sphincter muscles for the doors and windows.
Tu je tipična podporna stena, arhitekturna tvorba. In tu je prerez našega predloga za hišo iz mesa, kjer lahko vidite, da uporabljamo maščobne celice za izolacijo, migetalke proti zračnemu uporu in mišico zapiralko za vrata in okna.
(Laughter)
(smeh)
And we know it's incredibly ugly. It could have been an English Tudor or Spanish Colonial, but we kind of chose this shape. And there it is kind of grown, at least one particular section of it.
In vemo, da je neverjetno grda. Lahko bi bil angleški tudorski ali španski kolonialni slog, ampak smo nekako izbrali to obliko. In tukaj je, na nek način vzgojena, vsaj določen njen del.
We had a big show in Prague, and we decided to put it in front of the cathedral so religion can confront the house of meat. That's why we grow homes. Thanks very much.
V Pragi smo imeli veliko razstavo. In odločili smo se, da jo postavimo pred katedralo, da se lahko religija sooči s hišo iz mesa. Zato gojimo domove. Najlepša lepa.
