Do you think the things we build today
0
12917
2726
Mislite li da će današnje građevine
00:15
will be considered wonders in the future?
1
15667
2166
u budućnosti itko smatrati čudom?
00:19
Think of Stonehenge,
2
19042
1642
Pomislite na Stonehenge,
00:20
the Pyramids,
3
20708
1518
piramide,
00:22
Machu Picchu and Easter Island.
4
22250
2667
Machu Picchu i Uskršnji otok.
00:26
Now, they're all pretty different from what we're doing today,
5
26167
2916
Takva je arhitektura drukčija od današnje,
00:30
with those massive stones,
6
30333
2435
s onim masivnim kamenjem,
00:32
assembled in complex but seemingly illogical ways,
7
32792
4125
posloženim u cjelinu, a naizgled nelogično.
00:38
and all traces of their construction
8
38292
3642
A svi su tragovi gradnje
00:41
erased,
9
41958
1643
nestali
00:43
shrouding them in mystery.
10
43625
2042
i ostao nam je misterij.
00:47
It seems like people could not have possibly built these things,
11
47417
3708
Čini se da to ljudi nisu mogli izgraditi.
00:52
because people didn't.
12
52583
1292
Jer ljudi i nisu.
00:54
They were carefully crafted by a primordial race of giants
13
54792
4309
To je gradila drevna rasa divova,
00:59
known as Cyclops.
14
59125
1268
zvana Kiklopi.
01:00
(Laughter)
15
60417
1309
(Smijeh)
01:01
And I've been collaborating with these monsters
16
61750
2226
Ja sam surađivao s tim gorostasima
01:04
to learn their secrets for moving those massive stones.
17
64000
3250
kako bih naučio tajne micanja masivnog kamenja.
01:08
And as it turns out, Cyclops aren't even that strong.
18
68667
3500
I pokazalo se da Kiklopi nisu bili posebno snažni.
01:13
They're just really smart about getting material to work for them.
19
73250
3125
Bili su samo vrlo pametni pa je materijal radio za njih.
01:19
Now, the videos you see behind me of large, stone-like, wobbly creatures
20
79042
4434
Iza mene su videa velikih, klimavih stvorenja nalik kamenu,
01:23
are the results of this collaboration.
21
83500
1833
koja su rezultat naše suradnje.
01:26
OK, so Cyclops might be a mythical creature,
22
86875
2917
OK, Kiklopi su možda mitska stvorenja,
01:30
but those wonders are still real.
23
90917
2851
no sva su arhitektonska čuda ipak stvarna.
01:33
People made them.
24
93792
1250
Gradili su ih ljudi.
01:35
But they also made the myths that surround them,
25
95917
2583
Ali su izgradili još i mitove oko toga.
01:39
and when it comes to wonders, there's this thick connective tissue
26
99667
3809
A kod svih čuda postoji snažna veza
01:43
between mythology and reality.
27
103500
2458
između mitologije i stvarnosti.
01:47
Take Easter Island, for example.
28
107083
1667
Pogledajmo primjer Uskršnjeg otoka.
01:49
When the Dutch explorers first encountered the island,
29
109958
3143
Kad su se danski istraživači prvi put iskrcali na otok,
01:53
they asked the people of Rapa Nui
30
113125
2018
pitali su narod Rapa Nui:
01:55
how their ancestors could have possibly moved those massive statues.
31
115167
3416
''Kako su vaši preci uopće pomicali masivne kipove?''
01:59
And the Rapa Nui said,
32
119833
1976
Rapa Nui su im rekli:
02:01
"Our ancestors didn't move the statues,
33
121833
3643
''Naši preci nisu pomicali kipove,
02:05
because the statues walked themselves."
34
125500
2125
već su ti kipovi hodali sami.''
02:09
For centuries, this was dismissed, but actually it's true.
35
129500
2750
Stoljećima su svi to odbacivali, iako je zapravo istina.
02:13
The statues, known as moai, were transported standing,
36
133083
5393
Kipove, poznate još kao moai, prenosili su u uspravnom položaju,
02:18
pivoting from side to side.
37
138500
1958
zakretanjem jedne na drugu stranu.
02:21
OK?
38
141750
1268
OK?
02:23
As spectacular as the moai are for visitors today,
39
143042
3934
Koliko god su moai danas spektakularni,
02:27
you have to imagine being there then,
40
147000
2518
pokušajte se zamisliti u onom vremenu,
02:29
with colossal moai marching around the island.
41
149542
3392
dok golemi moai hodaju otokom.
02:32
Because the real memorial was not the objects themselves,
42
152958
5185
Jer, pravi spomenik nisu bili sami kipovi.
02:38
it was the cultural ritual of bringing a stone to life.
43
158167
3916
Pravi spomenik je bio lokalni ritual u kojem se kamenju udahnjuje život.
02:43
So as an architect, I've been chasing that dream.
44
163708
2584
Kao arhitekt sam lovio ovaj san:
02:47
How can we shift our idea of construction to accommodate that mythical side?
45
167458
4542
''Kako mogu u ideju gradnje uklopiti mitski element?''
02:53
So what I've been doing is challenging myself
46
173583
2143
I tako sam neko vrijeme izazivao sebe
02:55
with putting on a series of performances
47
175750
3101
višekratnim obavljanjem
02:58
of the ancient but pretty straightforward task
48
178875
2601
jednog običnog prastarog posla.
03:01
of just moving and standing big heavy objects,
49
181500
4018
Pomicao sam i uspravljao velike i teške objekte.
03:05
like this 16-foot-tall megalith designed to walk across land
50
185542
3934
Poput ovog pet metara visokog megalita izgrađenog da bi hodao zemljom
03:09
and stand vertically;
51
189500
1250
i uspravno stajao.
03:12
or this 4,000-pound behemoth that springs itself to life
52
192000
4393
Ili poput ovog divovskog primjerka od dvije tone, koji oživljava
03:16
to dance onstage.
53
196417
1583
kako bi plesao na pozornici.
03:19
And what I've found is that by thinking of architecture
54
199792
3351
I otkrio sam da kada o ahitekturi razmišljamo
03:23
not as an end product but as a performance
55
203167
3559
ne kao o rezultatu, nego kao o procesu,
03:26
from conception to completion,
56
206750
3351
od prvotne ideje do gotovog djela,
03:30
we end up rediscovering some really smart ways to build things today.
57
210125
3500
iznova otkrivamo pametne načine gradnje, korisne i danas.
03:35
You know, so much of the discussion surrounding our future
58
215375
2768
Puno diskusija o budućnosti
fokusira se na tehnologiju, učinkovitost i brzinu.
03:38
focuses on technology, efficiency and speed.
59
218167
3976
03:42
But if I've learned anything from Cyclops,
60
222167
2059
Ali ako sam išta naučio od Kiklopa,
03:44
it's that wonders can be smart, spectacular
61
224250
4518
to je da čuda mogu biti pametna, spektakularna
03:48
and sustainable --
62
228792
1684
i održiva --
03:50
because of their mass and their mystery.
63
230500
2167
baš zbog njihove mase i tajnovitosti.
03:54
And while people still want to know how those ancient wonders were built,
64
234000
3809
I dok ljudi još žele znati kako su se gradila ta antička čuda,
03:57
I've been asking Cyclops how to create the mystery
65
237833
2810
ja sam Kiklope zapitkivao kako stvoriti tajnovitost
04:00
that compels people to ask that very question.
66
240667
2458
koja bi potakla ljude da postave to pitanje.
04:04
Because in an era where we design buildings
67
244375
2059
U vremenu u kojem osmišljavamo zgrade
04:06
to last 30, maybe 60 years,
68
246458
2584
koje trebaju trajati 30, možda 60 godina,
04:09
I would love to learn how to create something
69
249875
2643
ja bih volio naučiti kako stvoriti nešto
04:12
that could entertain for an eternity.
70
252542
1762
što intrigira vječno.
04:15
Thank you.
71
255083
1268
Hvala.
04:16
