Bjarke Ingels: 3 warp-speed architecture tales

Prevoditelj: Mislav Ante Omazić - EFZG Recezent: Ivan Stamenković

The public debate about architecture

Javna diskusija vezana uz arhitekturu

quite often just stays on contemplating the final result,

često ostaje samo na raspravi konačnog rezultata,

the architectural object.

arhitektonskog objekta.

Is the latest tower in London

Je li najnoviji neboder u Londonu

a gherkin or a sausage

krastavac ili kobasica

or a sex tool?

ili seksualno pomagalo?

So recently, we asked ourselves

Nedavno smo se pitali

if we could invent a format

kada bismo mogli osmisliti format

that could actually tell the stories behind the projects,

koji bi mogao ispričati priču koja se krije iza projekta

maybe combining images and drawings and words

možda kombinirajući slike i crteže s riječima

to actually sort of tell stories about architecture.

da bi na neki način ispričao priču o arhitekturi.

And we discovered that we didn't have to invent it,

I onda smo otkrili kako ne moramo to osmišljavati

it already existed in the form of a comic book.

već da postoji u formi stripa.

So we basically copied the format of the comic book

Tako da smo u osnovi kopirali format stripa

to actually tell the stories of behind the scenes,

kako bismo ispričali priče iza kulisa,

how our projects actually evolve through adaptation

kako naši projekti nastaju kroz prilagodbu

and improvisation.

i improvizaciju.

Sort of through the turmoil and the opportunities

Na neki način kroz metež i prilike

and the incidents of the real world.

te incidente stvarnog svijeta.

We call this comic book "Yes is More,"

Ovaj strip nazivamo "Da je više",

which is obviously a sort of evolution of the ideas of some of our heroes.

što je očito vrsta evolucije ideja o nekim našim herojima.

In this case it's Mies van der Rohe's Less is More.

U ovom slučaju to je Mies van der Rohesov "Manje je više".

He triggered the modernist revolution.

On je potaknuo modernističku revoluciju.

After him followed the post-modern counter-revolution,

Poslje njega slijedila je post-modernistička kontra-revolucija,

Robert Venturi saying, "Less is a bore."

Robert Venturi koji kaže, "Manje je dosadno".

After him, Philip Johnson sort of introduced

Poslije njega, Philip Johnson na neki način uvodi

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

you could say promiscuity, or at least openness

mogli bi reći promiskuitet, ili u najmanju ruku otvorenost

to new ideas with, "I am a whore."

novim idejama s, "Ja sam kurva".

Recently, Obama has introduced optimism

Nedavno je Obama uveo optimizam

at a sort of time of global financial crisis.

u vrijeme globalne financijske krize.

And what we'd like to say with "Yes is More"

I ono što mi želimo reči s "Da je više"

is basically trying to question this idea

jest da u suštini dovedemo u pitanje tu ideju

that the architectural avant-garde is almost always negatively defined,

da arhitektonska avangarda gotovo uvijek mora biti negativno definirana,

as who or what we are against.

poput protiv koga ili čega smo mi.

The cliche of the radical architect

Kliše radikalnog arhitekta

is the sort of angry young man rebelling against the establishment.

jest neka vrsta gnjevnog mladog čovjeka koji se buni protiv sustava.

Or this idea of the misunderstood genius,

Ili ta ideja neshvaćenog genija,

frustrated that the world doesn't fit in with his or her ideas.

frustiranog zbog svijeta koji se jednostavno ne uklapa u njegove ili njezine ideje.

Rather than revolution, we're much more interested in evolution,

Umjesto revolucije, mi smo bitno više zainteresirani za evoluciju,

this idea that things gradually evolve

tu ideju da stvari postupno evoluiraju

by adapting and improvising

kroz adaptaciju i improvizaciju

to the changes of the world.

na promjene iz okruženja.

In fact, I actually think that Darwin is one of the people

U stvari, ja mislim kako je Darwin jedan od ljudi

who best explains our design process.

koji najbolje opisuje proces dizajna.

His famous evolutionary tree

Njegovo poznato evolucijsko stablo

could almost be a diagram of the way we work.

bi moglo gotovo biti dijagram načina na koji radimo.

As you can see, a project evolves through

Kao što možete vidjeti, projekt evoluira kroz

a series of generations of design meetings.

serije iteracija dizajnerskih sastanaka.

At each meeting, there's way too many ideas.

Na svakom sastanku, imamo previše ideja.

Only the best ones can survive.

Samo najbolje mogu preživjeti.

And through a process of architectural selection,

A kroz proces arhitektonske selekcije,

we might choose a really beautiful model

mogli bi izabrati zaista lijep model

or we might have a very functional model.

ili možemo dobiti jako funkcionalan model.

We mate them. They have sort of mutant offspring.

Spojimo ih. Oni imaju mutirane potomke.

And through these sort of generations of design meetings

I kroz ove različite generacije sastanaka dizajnera

we arrive at a design.

mi dođemo do dizajna

A very literal way of showing it is a project we did

Prilično doslovan način prikaza ovoga je projekt koji smo napravili

for a library and a hotel in Copenhagen.

za knjižnicu i hotel u Kopenhagenu.

The design process was really tough,

Dizajnerski proces je bio stvarno težak,

almost like a struggle for survival,

gotovo kao bitka za preživljavanje,

but gradually an idea evolved:

ali je postupno ideja evoluirala:

this sort of idea of a rational tower

neka vrsta ideje o racionalnom tornju

that melts together with the surrounding city,

koji se stapa s onime što ga okružuje u gradu,

sort of expanding the public space onto what we refer to as

koji širi javni prostor na ono što mislimo da je

a Scandinavian version of the Spanish Steps in Rome,

skandinavska verzija Španjolskih stepenica u Rimu,

but sort of public on the outside, as well as on the inside,

ali na neki način javno izvana, kao i iznutra,

with the library.

s knjižnicom.

But Darwin doesn't only explain the evolution of a single idea.

Ali Darwin ne objašnjava samo evoluciju jedne ideje.

As you can see, sometimes a subspecies branches off.

Kao što možete vidjeti, ponekad se podvrste izdvoje.

And quite often we sit in a design meeting

I prilično često dok sjedimo na sastanku dizajnera

and we discover that there is this great idea.

otkrijemo kako postoji ta sjajna ideja.

It doesn't really work in this context.

Ona stvarno ne funkcionira u ovom kontekstu.

But for another client in another culture,

Ali za nekog drugog klijenta u nekoj drugoj kulturi,

it could really be the right answer to a different question.

to bi mogao biti pravi odgovor, na neko drugo pitanje.

So as a result, we never throw anything out.

Dakle kao rezultat, nikada ne izbacujemo ništa.

We keep our office almost like an archive

Naš ured je gotovo arhiva

of architectural biodiversity.

arhitektonske bioraznolikosti.

You never know when you might need it.

Nikada ne znaš kada će ti možda zatrebati.

And what I'd like to do now, in an act of

I ono što bih sada volio učiniti, u činu

warp-speed storytelling,

pričanja priče warp brzinom,

is tell the story of how two projects evolved

jest ispričati vam priču o razvoju dva projekta

by adapting and improvising

kroz adaptaciju i improvizaciju

to the happenstance of the world.

okolnostima u svijetu.

The first story starts last year when we went to Shanghai

Prva priča započinje prošle godine kada smo otišli u Šangaj

to do the competition for the Danish

na natjecanje za Danski

National Pavilion for the World Expo in 2010.

Nacionalni Paviljon na Svjetskoj Izložbi 2010.

And we saw this guy, Haibao.

I vidjeli smo ovog tipa, Haibaoa.

He's the mascot of the expo,

Bio je maskota izložbe,

and he looks strangely familiar.

i izgledao nam je poznato na čudan način.

In fact he looked like a building we had designed

U stvari izgledao je kao zgrada koju smo dizjanirali

for a hotel in the north of Sweden.

za hotel u sjevernoj Švedskoj.

When we submitted it for the Swedish competition we thought

Kada smo ga predali za švedsko natjecanje mislili smo

it was a really cool scheme, but it didn't exactly

da je to stvarno super koncept, ali nije stvarno

look like something from the north of Sweden.

izgledao kao nešto sa sjevera Švedske.

The Swedish jury didn't think so either. So we lost.

Ni švedsko povjerenstvo nije mislilo tako. Tako da smo izgubili.

But then we had a meeting with a Chinese businessman

Ali onda smo imali sastanak s kineskim poslovnjakom

who saw our design and said,

koji je vidio naš dizajn i rekao,

"Wow, that's the Chinese character for the word 'people.'"

"Vau, to je kineski znak za riječ 'narod'."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

So, apparently this is how you write "people,"

Ispostavilo se da ovako pišete 'narod',

as in the People's Republic of China.

kao u Narodnoj Republici Kini.

We even double checked.

Čak smo još jednom provjerili.

And at the same time, we got invited to exhibit

Istovremeno smo pozvani da izlažemo

at the Shanghai Creative Industry Week.

na Šangajskom Tjednu Kreativne Industrije.

So we thought like, this is too much of an opportunity,

Tako smo mislili, to je predobra prilika,

so we hired a feng shui master.

pa smo unajmili feng shui majstora.

We scaled the building up three times to Chinese proportions,

Povećali smo zgradu tri puta prema kineskim proporcijama,

and went to China.

i otišli smo u Kinu.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

So the People's Building, as we called it.

Dakle 'Narodna zgrada', kako smo ju zvali.

This is our two interpreters, sort of reading the architecture.

Ovo su naša dva prevoditelja, koji čitaju arhitekturu na neki način.

It went on the cover of the Wen Wei Po newspaper,

Završilo je na naslovnici Wen Wei Po novina,

which got Mr. Liangyu Chen, the mayor of Shanghai,

što je navelo gosp. Liangyu Chena, gradonačelnika Šangaja,

to visit the exhibition.

da posjeti izložbu.

And we had the chance to explain the project.

I dobili smo priliku objasniti projekt.

And he said, "Shanghai is the city in the world

A on je rekao, "Šangaj je svjetski grad

with most skyscrapers,"

s najvećim brojem nebodera,"

but to him it was as if the connection to the roots had been cut over.

ali za njega je to bilo kao prekinuta veza s korijenima.

And with the People's Building, he saw an architecture

A s 'Narodnom zgradom' on je vidio arhitekturu

that could bridge the gap between the ancient wisdom of China

koja bi mogla povezati jaz između tradicionalne mudrosti Kine

and the progressive future of China.

i progresivne budućnosti Kine.

So we obviously profoundly agreed with him.

Naravno mi smo se složili s njime.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

Unfortunately, Mr. Chen is now in prison for corruption.

Nažalost gosp. Chen je sada u zatvoru zbog korupcije.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

But like I said, Haibao looked very familiar,

Ali kao što sam rekao, Haibao je izgledao stvarno poznato,

because he is actually the Chinese character for "people."

jer je on u stvari kineski znak za 'narod'.

And they chose this mascot because

A oni su izabrali tu maskotu jer

the theme of the expo is "Better City, Better Life."

je tema EXPO-a bila 'Bolji grad, bolji život'.

Sustainability.

Održivost.

And we thought, sustainability has grown into being

I mi smo mislili, održivost je prerasla u

this sort of neo-Protestant idea

neku vrstu neoprotestanske ideje

that it has to hurt in order to do good.

da mora boljeti kako bi bilo dobro.

You know, you're not supposed to take long, warm showers.

Znate, ne biste se smjeli dugo tuširati.

You're not supposed to fly on holidays because it's bad for the environment.

Ne biste smjeli letjeti na praznike jer je to loše za okoliš.

Gradually, you get this idea that sustainable life

Postupno, dobijete tu ideju da je održivi život

is less fun than normal life.

manje zabavan nego normalan život.

So we thought that maybe it could be interesting to focus on examples

Tako smo pomislili da bi možda moglo biti interesantno fokusirati se na primjere

where a sustainable city

gdje održivi grad

actually increases the quality of life.

u stvari povećava kvalitetu života.

We also asked ourselves, what could Denmark possibly show China

Također smo se pitali, što bi Danska mogla pokazati Kini

that would be relevant?

a da bude relevantno?

You know, it's one of the biggest countries in the world, one of the smallest.

Znate, to su jedna od najvećih zemalja na svijetu, i jedna od najmanjih.

China symbolized by the dragon.

Kina koju simbolizira zmaj.

Denmark, we have a national bird, the swan.

Danska, mi imamo nacionalnu pticu, labuda.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

China has many great poets,

Kina ima puno sjajnih pjesnika,

but we discovered that in the People's Republic

ali mi smo otkrili kako u Narodnoj republici

public school curriculum,

kurikulum javne škole

they have three fairy tales by An Tu Sheng,

ima tri bajke od An Tu Shenga,

or Hans Christian Anderson, as we call him.

ili Hans Christian Andersona, kako ga mi nazivamo.

So that means that all 1.3 billion Chinese

To znači da je svih 1,3 milijarde Kineza

have grown up with "The Emperor's New Clothes,"

odrastalo na 'Carevom novom ruhu',

"The Matchstick Girl" and "The Little Mermaid."

'Djevojčici sa žigicama' i 'Maloj sireni'.

It's almost like a fragment of Danish culture

To je gotovo kao fragment danske kulture

integrated into Chinese culture.

integriran u kinesku kulturu.

The biggest tourist attraction in China is the Great Wall.

Najveća turistička atrakcija u Kini je Veliki zid.

The Great Wall is the only thing that can be seen from the moon.

Veliki zid je jedina stvar koja se može vidjeti s Mjeseca.

The big tourist attraction in Denmark is The Little Mermaid.

Velika turistička atrakcija u Danskoj je 'Mala sirena'.

That can actually hardly be seen from the canal tours.

Ona se jedva može vidjeti na turama brodovima u kanalu.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And it sort of shows the difference between these two cities.

I to na neki način pokazuje razliku između ta dva grada,

Copenhagen, Shanghai,

Kopenhagen, Šangaj,

modern, European.

moderan, europski.

But then we looked at recent urban development,

Ali onda smo obratili pažnju na recentni urbani razvoj,

and we noticed that this is like a Shanghai street,

i primjetili smo da je ovo ulica u Šangaju,

30 years ago. All bikes, no cars.

prije 30 godina. Sve bicikli, bez automobila.

This is how it looks today; all traffic jam.

Evo kako izgleda danas, prometna gužva.

Bicycles have become forbidden many places.

Bicikli su postali zabranjeni na mnogim mjestima.

Meanwhile, in Copenhagen we're actually expanding the bicycle lanes.

U međuvremenu, u Kopenhagenu mi proširujemo biciklističke staze.

A third of all the people commute by bike.

Trećina ljudi putuje biciklima.

We have a free system of bicycles called the City Bike

Imamo besplatan sustav najma bicikla pod imenom 'Gradski bicikli'

that you can borrow if you visit the city.

koje možete posuditi ako posjećujete grad.

So we thought, why don't we reintroduce the bicycle in China?

Dakle pomislili smo zašto ne bismo Kinu ponovno upoznali s biciklima?

We donate 1,000 bikes to Shanghai.

Donirati ćemo 1.000 bicikla Šangaju.

So if you come to the expo, go straight to the Danish pavilion,

Ako dođete na EXPO, odite ravno u danski paviljon

get a Danish bike, and then continue on that to visit the other pavilions.

uzmite danski bicikl, i onda nastavite posjećivati druge paviljone.

Like I said, Shanghai and Copenhagen are both port cities,

Kao što sam rekao, Šangaj i Kopenhagen su oba lučka grada,

but in Copenhagen the water has gotten so clean

ali u Kopenhagenu je voda postala toliko čista

that you can actually swim in it.

da možeš plivati u njoj.

One of the first projects we ever did

Jedan od prvih projekata koje smo ikada napravili

was the harbor bath in Copenhagen,

bilo je lučko kupalište u Kopenhagenu,

sort of continuing the public realm into the water.

Neki način proširenja javnog prostora u vodu.

So we thought that these expos quite often have a lot of

Tako smo mislili da ti EXPO-i često imaju puno

state financed propaganda,

propagande financirane od strane države,

images, statements, but no real experience.

slike, izjave ali bez stvarnog iskustva.

So just like with a bike, we don't talk about it.

Tako, da kao i s biciklom, ne pričamo o tome.

You can try it.

Možete probati.

Like with the water, instead of talking about it,

Poput vode, umjesto da pričamo o tome,

we're going to sail a million liters of harbor water

mi ćemo dopremiti milijun litara lučke vode

from Copenhagen to Shanghai,

iz Kopenhagena u Šangaj,

so the Chinese who have the courage can actually dive in

tako da Kinezi koji budu dovoljno hrabri mogu skočiti u nju

and feel how clean it is.

i osjetiti kako je čista.

This is where people normally object that it doesn't sound very sustainable

Ovdje ljudi krenu prigovarati kako se ovo ne čini previše održivim

to sail water from Copenhagen to China.

prebaciti vodu od Kopenhagena do Šangaja.

But in fact, the container ships go

Ali u stvari, kontejnerski brodovi idu

full of goods from China to Denmark,

prepuni proizvoda iz Kine u Dansku,

and then they sail empty back.

i onda plove prazni nazad.

So quite often you load water for ballast.

Dakle često uzimaju vodu za balast.

So we can actually hitch a ride for free.

Dakle mogli bismo uhvatiti besplatnu vožnju.

And in the middle of this sort of harbor bath,

A usred te vrste lučkog kupališta,

we're actually going to put the actual Little Mermaid.

stavit ćemo pravu 'Malu sirenu'.

So the real Mermaid, the real water, and the real bikes.

Dakle prava 'Mala sirena', stvarna voda i bicikli.

And when she's gone, we're going to invite

A kada ode, pozvati ćemo

a Chinese artist to reinterpret her.

kineske umjetnike da je reinterpretiraju.

The architecture of the pavilion is this sort of loop

Arhitektura paviljona je ta vrsta spirale

of exhibition and bikes.

izložbe i bicikala.

When you go to the exhibition, you'll see the Mermaid and the pool.

Kada idete na izložbu, vidjeti ćete Sirenu i bazen.

You'll walk around, start looking for a bicycle on the roof,

Hodati ćete okolo, počet ćete tražiti bicikle po krovu,

jump on your ride and then continue out into the rest of the expo.

skočit ćete na svoj bicikl i nastaviti s gledanjem ostatka EXPO-a.

So when we actually won the competition

Kada smo pobijedili na natjecanju

we had to do an exhibition in China explaining the project.

morali smo napraviti izložbu u Kini kako bismo objasnili projekt.

And to our surprise we got one of our boards back

I na naše iznenađenje dobili smo jedan od naših panela nazad

with corrections from the Chinese state censorship.

s korekcijama od strane kineske državne cenzure.

The first thing, the China map missed Taiwan.

Prva stvar, na kineskoj karti je nedostajao Tajvan.

It's a very serious political issue in China. We will add on.

To je jako ozbiljno političko pitanje u Kini. Dodat ćemo ga.

The second thing, we had compared the swan to the dragon,

Druga stvar, usporedili smo labuda i zmaja,

and then the Chinese state said,

i onda je kineska država rekla,

"Suggest change to panda."

"Predlažemo promjenu u pandu."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

So, when it came out in Denmark that we were actually going to

Kada je izašlo u Danskoj da ćemo stvarno

move our national monument,

maknuti naš nacionalni spomenik,

the National People's Party sort of rebelled against it.

Nacionalna narodna stranka se pobunila protiv toga.

They tried to pass a law against moving the Mermaid.

Pokušali su izglasati zakon protiv micanja Sirene.

So for the first time, I got invited to speak at the National Parliament.

Tako sam po prvi puta pozvan da govorim u nacionalnom parlamentu.

It was kind of interesting because in the morning, from 9 to 11,

Bilo je na neki način zanimljivo jer ujutro od 9:00 do 11:00,

they were discussing the bailout package --

raspravljali su o paketu mjera za pokretanje ekonomije --

how many billions to invest in saving the Danish economy.

koliko milijardi investirati u spašavanje danske ekonomije.

And then at 11 o'clock they stopped talking about these little issues.

I onda su u 11:00 sati stali raspravljati o tim malim stvarima.

And then from 11 to 1,

I onda su od 11:00 do 13:00,

they were debating whether or not to send the Mermaid to China.

raspravljali o tome hoćemo li poslati Sirenu u Kinu.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

But to conclude, if you want to see the Mermaid from May to December

Ali da zaključimo, ako želite vidjeti Sirenu od svibnja do prosinca

next year, don't come to Copenhagen,

slijedeće godine, nemojte ići u Kopenhagen,

because she's going to be in Shanghai.

jer će ona biti u Šangaju.

If you do come to Copenhagen,

Ako dođete u Kopenhagen,

you will probably see an installation by Ai Weiwei, the Chinese artist.

vjerojatno ćete vidjeti instalaciju Ai Weiwei, kineskog umjetnika.

But if the Chinese government intervenes, it might even be a panda.

Ali ako se kineska vlada uplete, mogla bi biti panda.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

So the second story that I'd like to tell

Druga priča koju bih vam volio ispričati,

is, actually starts in my own house.

započinje u mojoj kući.

This is my apartment.

Ovo je moj stan.

This is the view from my apartment,

Ovo je pogled iz mog stana,

over the sort of landscape of triangular balconies

preko neke vrste reljefa od trokutastih terasa

that our client called the Leonardo DiCaprio balcony.

koje je naš klijent nazvao 'Leonardo DiCaprio balkon'.

And they form this sort of vertical backyard

I oni formiraju neku vrstu vertikalnog dvorišta

where, on a nice summer day, you'll actually get introduced to all your neighbors

gdje, za vrijeme lijepog ljetnog dana, možeš upoznati sve svoje susjede

in a vertical radius of 10 meters.

u vertikalnom radijusu od 10 metara.

The house is sort of a distortion of a square block.

Kuća je neka vrsta dekonstruiranog kvadratnog bloka.

Trying to zigzag it to make sure

On je izrezan cik-cak kako bi se osiguralo

that all of the apartments look at the straight views,

da svi apartmani imaju direktan pogled na okruženje,

instead of into each other.

umjesto jedan na drugog.

Until recently, this was the view from my apartment,

Do nedavno, ovo je bio pogled iz mog stana,

onto this place where our client actually bought the neighbor site.

na to mjesto dok naš klijent nije kupio susjednu parcelu.

And he said that he was going to do an apartment block

I on je rekao kako će napraviti stambeni blok

next to a parking structure.

pokraj parkirališta.

And we thought, rather than doing a traditional stack of apartments

A mi smo pomislili, umjesto da sagrade tradicionalni blok stanova

looking straight into a big boring block of cars,

koji će gledati u dosadni blok automobila,

why don't we turn all the apartments into penthouses,

zašto ne bismo sve stanove pretvorili u penthouse,

put them on a podium of cars.

i stavili ih na podijum od automobila.

And because Copenhagen is completely flat,

I zato što je Kopenhagen potpuno ravan,

if you want to have a nice south-facing slope with a view,

ako želite imati jugu orjentiran stan s pogledom,

you basically have to do it yourself.

to morate sami napraviti.

Then we sort of cut up the volume,

Tako smo smanjili volumen,

so we wouldn't block the view from my apartment.

kako ne bismo blokirali pogled iz mog stana.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And essentially the parking is sort of occupying the deep space

A parking u suštini okupira donji prostor

underneath the apartments.

ispod stanova.

And up in the sun, you have a single layer of apartments

A gore na suncu, imate jedan sloj stanova

that combine all the splendors of a suburban lifestyle,

koji kombiniraju sve prednosti života na periferiji,

like a house with a garden with a sort of metropolitan view,

poput kuće s vrtom s pogledom na grad,

and a sort of dense urban location.

i neka vrsta guste urbane lokacije.

This is our first architectural model.

Ovo je naš prvi arhitektonski model.

This is an aerial photo taken last summer.

Ovo je slika iz zraka koju smo napravili prošlo ljeto.

And essentially, the apartments cover the parking.

U osnovi,, stanovi prekrivaju parking.

They are accessed through this diagonal elevator.

Njima se prilazi preko dijagonalnog lifta.

It's actually a stand-up product from Switzerland,

To je u stvari standardni proizvod u Švicarskoj,

because in Switzerland they have a natural need for diagonal elevators.

jer tamo imaju prirodnu potrebu za dijagonalnim liftovima.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And the facade of the parking,

A fasada parkinga,

we wanted to make the parking naturally ventilated,

željeli smo da parking ventilira prirodno,

so we needed to perforate it.

tako da smo je morali perforirati.

And we discovered that by controlling the size of the holes,

I otkrili smo da kontroliranjem veličine otvora,

we could actually turn the entire facade

možemo pretvoriti cijelu fasadu

into a gigantic, naturally ventilated,

u ogromnu, prirodno ventilirajuću,

rasterized image.

rasteriranu sliku.

And since we always refer to the project as The Mountain,

I kako smo oduvijek projekt nazivali 'Planina',

we commissioned this Japanese Himalaya photographer

angažirali smo japanskog fotografa Himalaja

to give us this beautiful photo of Mount Everest,

da nam napravi ovu prekrasnu fotografiju Mount Everesta,

making the entire building a 3,000 square meter artwork.

pretvorivši cijelu zgradu veliku 3.000 m2 u umjetničko djelo.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

So if you go back into the parking, into the corridors,

Ako se vratite na parking, u hodnike,

it's almost like traveling into a parallel universe

gotovo kao da putujete iz paralelnoga svemira

from cars and colors,

od automobila do boja,

into this sort of south-facing urban oasis.

u neku vrstu urbane oaze okrenute jugu.

The wood of your apartment continues outside becoming the facades.

Drvo iz vašeg stana nastavlja se prema vani i postaje dijelom fasade.

If you go even further, it turns into this green garden.

Ako odete dalje, pretvara se u zeleni vrt.

And all the rainwater that drops on the Mountain

I sva kišnica koja padne na 'Planinu'

is actually accumulated.

sakuplja se.

And there is an automatic irrigation system

I postoji automatski sustav za navodnjavanje

that makes sure that this sort of landscape of gardens,

koji osigurava da se ovaj krajobraz vrtova,

in one or two years it will sort of transform

u jednoj do dvije godine pretvori u

into a Cambodian temple ruin,

ostatke kambodžanskog hrama,

completely covered in green.

kompletno prekrivenog zelenilom.

So, the Mountain is like our first built example

Tako je planina naš prvoizgrađeni primjer

of what we like to refer to as architectural alchemy.

onoga što bismo željeli zvati arhitektonska alkemija.

This idea that you can actually create, if not gold,

Ta ideja da možeš stvoriti, ako ne zlato,

then at least added value by mixing

onda bar stvoriti vrijednost miješajući

traditional ingredients, like normal apartments

tradicionalne sastojke, poput normalnih stanova

and normal parking,

i normalnog parkinga,

and in this case actually offer people

i u ovom slučaju ponudiš ljudima

the chance that they don't have to choose between

priliku da ne moraju birati između

a life with a garden or a life in the city.

života u vrtu ili života u gradu.

They can actually have both.

Mogu imati oboje.

As an architect, it's really hard to set the agenda.

Kao arhitektu, teško mi je postaviti agendu.

You can't just say that now I'd like to do a sustainable city

Ne možete samo reći sada ću napraviti održivi grad

in central Asia,

u središnjoj Aziji,

because that's not really how you get commissions.

jer tako ne dobivate poslove.

You always have to sort of adapt and improvise

Uvijek se morate prilagođavati i improvizirati

to the opportunities and accidents that happen,

prilikama i slučajnostima na koje ćete naići,

and the sort of turmoil of the world.

i konstantnim promjenama u svijetu.

One last example is that recently we,

Zadnji primjer jest da smo nedavno,

like last summer, we won the competition

prošlog ljeta, osvojili natjecanje

to design a Nordic national bank.

za dizajn Nordijske narodne banke.

This was the director of the bank when he was still smiling.

Ovo je bio direktor banke dok se još uvijek smijao.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

It was in the middle of the capital so we were really excited by this opportunity.

Bila je u centru grada pa smo bili stvarno uzbuđeni zbog ove prilike.

Unfortunately, it was the national bank of Iceland.

Na nesreću, to je bila nacionalna banka Islanda.

At the same time, we actually had a visitor --

U isto vrijeme imali smo posjetitelja --

a minister from Azerbaijan came to our office.

ministar Azerbajdžana je došao u naš ured.

We took him to see the Mountain. And he got very excited

Odveli smo ga da mu pokažemo 'Planinu'. I on je bio prilično uzbuđen

by this idea that you could actually make mountains

da se stvarno mogu raditi planine

out of architecture,

iz arhitekture,

because Azerbaijan is known as the Alps of Central Asia.

jer je Azerbajdžan poznat kao Alpe središnje Azije.

So he asked us if we could actually imagine

Tako da nas je pitao ako možemo zamisliti

an urban master plan

urbani master plan

on an island outside the capital

otoka izvan glavnog grada

that would recreate the silhouette of the seven most significant mountains

koji bi oponašao siluetu sedam najvažnijih planina

of Azerbaijan.

Azerbajdžana.

So we took the commission.

Tako da smo prihvatili taj posao.

And we made this small movie that I'd like to show.

I napravili smo ovaj mali film koji bih vam volio pokazati.

We quite often make little movies.

Često radimo male filmove.

We always argue a lot about the soundtrack,

Uvijek se puno svađamo oko glazbe,

but in this case it was really easy to choose the song.

ali u ovom slučaju bilo je stvarno lagano izabrati pjesmu.

So basically, Baku is this sort of crescent bay

Baku je u suštini zaljev u obliku polumjeseca

overlooking the island of Zira, the island that we are planning --

koji gleda na otok Zira, otok koji planiramo --

almost like the diagram of their flag.

gotovo kao dijagram njihove zastave.

And our main idea was

I naša glavna ideja je bila

to sort of sample the seven most significant mountains

da na neki način uzmemo uzorke sedam najznačajnijih planina

of the topography of Azerbaijan

topografije Azerbajdžana

and reinterpret them into urban and architectural structures,

i reinterpretiramo ih u urbane i arhitektonske strukture,

inhabitable of human life.

koje će naseliti ljudi.

Then we place these mountains on the island,

Onda smo postavili te planine na otok,

surrounding this sort of central green valley,

tako da okružuju neku vrstu središnje zelene doline,

almost like a central park.

gotovo kao centralnog parka.

And what makes it interesting is that the island right now

I ono što je ovu stvar učinilo zanimljivom jest da je ovaj otok

is just a piece of desert. It has no vegetation.

komad pustinje. On nema nikakvu vegetaciju.

It has no water. It has no energy, no resources.

Nema vode. Nema energije, nema resursa.

So we actually sort of designed the entire island as a single ecosystem,

Tako da smo dizajnirali cijeli otok kao jedan ekosustav,

exploiting wind energy to drive the desalination plants,

koji crpi energiju vjetra za pokretanje postrojenja za desalinizaciju,

and to use the thermal properties of water

i termičke karakteristike vode

to heat and cool the buildings.

kako bi grijali i hladili zgrade.

And all the sort of excess freshwater wastewater

I sva suvišna otpadna voda

is filtered organically into the landscape,

se organski filtrira kroz zelenilo,

gradually transforming the desert island

postepeno transformirajući pustinjski otok

into sort of a green, lush landscape.

u zeleni, bujni pejsaž.

So, you can say where an urban development

Tako da možete reći kako urbani razvoj

normally happens at the expense of nature,

koji se često događa na račun prirode,

in this case it's actually creating nature.

u ovom slučaju on u biti stvara prirodu.

And the buildings, they don't only sort of

A zgrade, one ne samo da

invoke the imagery of the mountains,

prizivaju slike planina,

they also operate like mountains.

one funkcioniraju kao planine.

They create shelter from the wind.

Stvaraju zavjetrinu.

They accumulate the solar energy.

Akumuliraju solarnu energiju.

They accumulate the water.

Akumuliraju vodu.

So they actually transform the entire island

Dakle one u stvari transformiraju cijeli otok

into a single ecosystem.

u jedinstveni ekosustav.

So we recently presented the master plan,

Tako smo nedavno predstavili master plan,

and it has gotten approved.

i odobren je.

And this summer we are starting the construction documents

Od ovoga ljeta započeti ćemo s građevinskim dokumentima

of the two first mountains,

za prve dvije planine,

in what's going to be the first carbon-neutral island

onoga što će biti prvi otok neutralane emisije ugljik dioksida

in Central Asia.

u središnjoj Aziji.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

Yes, maybe just to round off.

Da, možda da zaokružimo.

So in a way you can see how the Mountain in Copenhagen

Ovdje ste vidjeli kako je 'Planina' u Kopenhagenu

sort of evolved into the Seven Peaks of Azerbaijan.

evoluirala u sedam vrhova u Azerbajdžanu.

With a little luck and some more evolution,

Uz malo sreće i dodatne evolucije,

maybe in 10 years it could be the Five Mountains on Mars.

možda za 10 godina to može biti 'Pet planina' na Marsu.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)
