Biomimicry in action | Janine Benyus

Prevoditelj: Tilen Pigac - EFZG Recezent: Mislav Ante Omazić - EFZG

If I could reveal anything

Kad bih mogla otkriti bilošto

that is hidden from us,

što je skriveno od nas,

at least in modern cultures,

barem u modernim kulturama,

it would be to reveal something that we've forgotten,

otkrila bih nešto što smo zaboravili,

that we used to know

što smo nekada znali

as well as we knew our own names.

tako dobro kao što smo znali vlastita imena.

And that is that we live in a competent universe,

A to je da živimo u sposobnom svemiru,

that we are part of a brilliant planet,

da smo dio briljantnog planeta.

and that we are surrounded by genius.

I da smo okruženi genijem.

Biomimicry is a new discipline

Biomimikrija je nova disciplina

that tries to learn from those geniuses,

koja pokušava učiti od tih genija,

and take advice from them, design advice.

i uzimati savjete od njih, savjete vezane za dizajn.

That's where I live,

Ovdje ja živim.

and it's my university as well.

A to je ujedno i moje sveučilište.

I'm surrounded by genius. I cannot help but

Okružena sam genijem. Ne mogu si pomoći

remember the organisms and the ecosystems

prisjećati se organizama i ekosustava

that know how to live here gracefully on this planet.

koji znaju kako živjeti dostojanstveno ovdje na ovom planetu.

This is what I would tell you to remember

To je ono što bih vam rekla da upamtite

if you ever forget this again.

ukoliko ikad ponovno ovo zaboravite.

Remember this.

Upamtite to.

This is what happens every year.

To je ono što se događa svake godine.

This is what keeps its promise.

To je ono što drži svoje obećanje.

While we're doing bailouts, this is what happened.

Dok smo mi izbavljali institucije iz financijske krize, ovo se dogodilo.

Spring.

Proljeće.

Imagine designing spring.

Zamislite dizajniranje proljeća.

Imagine that orchestration.

Zamislite tu orkestraciju.

You think TED is hard to organize. (Laughter) Right?

Mislite da je TED teško organizirati. (Smijeh) Točno?

Imagine, and if you haven't done this in a while, do.

Zamislite, i ako niste činili to neko vrijeme, učinite.

Imagine the timing, the coordination,

Zamislite tempiranje vremena, koordinaciju,

all without top-down laws,

sve bez zakona koji su kontrolirani na vrhu,

or policies, or climate change protocols.

ili politika, ili protokola o promjeni klime.

This happens every year.

To se događa svake godine.

There is lots of showing off.

Ima puno ponosnog prikazivanja.

There is lots of love in the air.

Ima puno ljubavi u zraku.

There's lots of grand openings.

Ima puno velikih otvorenja.

And the organisms, I promise you,

A organizmi su, obećajem vam,

have all of their priorities in order.

posložili sve svoje prioritete.

I have this neighbor that keeps me in touch with this,

Imam tog susjeda koji me obavještava o tome.

because he's living, usually on his back,

Jer on živi, obično na svojim leđima,

looking up at those grasses.

gledajući gore prema tim travama.

And one time he came up to me --

I jednom je došao do mene,

he was about seven or eight years old -- he came up to me.

bilo mu je otprilike, sedam ili osam godina, došao je do mene.

And there was a wasp's nest

I tamo je bilo osinje gnijezdo

that I had let grow in my yard,

koje sam pustila da izraste u mom dvorištu,

right outside my door.

baš ispred mojih vrata.

And most people knock them down when they're small.

A većina ljudi ih sruši kada su još mala.

But it was fascinating to me,

Ali meni je bilo fascinatno.

because I was looking at this sort of fine Italian end papers.

Jer sam gledala u tu vrstu finog talijanskog papira za završnu obradu.

And he came up to me and he knocked.

I došao je do mene i pokucao.

He would come every day with something to show me.

Došao bi svaki dan sa nečim da mi pokaže.

And like, knock like a woodpecker on my door until I opened it up.

I poput, kucao bi poput djetlića na moja vrata sve dok ih ne bi otvorila.

And he asked me

I pitao me

how I had made the house for those wasps,

kako sam napravila kuću za te ose.

because he had never seen one this big.

Jer nikada nije vidio tako veliku.

And I told him, "You know, Cody,

I rekla sam mu, "Znaš, Cody,

the wasps actually made that."

ose su zapravo to napravile."

And we looked at it together.

I zajedno smo je promatrali.

And I could see why he thought,

I vidim zašto je mislio,

you know -- it was so beautifully done.

znate, bila je prekrasno izrađena.

It was so architectural. It was so precise.

Bila je tako arhitekturalna. Bila je tako precizna.

But it occurred to me, how in his small life

Ali sinulo mi je, kako je, u svom malom životu,

had he already believed the myth

on već vjerovao mitu

that if something was that well done,

da ako je nešto dobro izrađeno,

that we must have done it.

mora da smo mi to napravili.

How did he not know --

Kako to da nije znao,

it's what we've all forgotten --

to je ono što smo svi mi zaboravili,

that we're not the first ones to build.

da mi nismo prvi koji su gradili.

We're not the first ones to process cellulose.

Nismo prvi koji su procesuirali celulozu.

We're not the first ones to make paper. We're not the first ones

Nismo prvi napravili papir. Nismo prvi

to try to optimize packing space,

koji su pokušali optimizirati prostor za pakiranje,

or to waterproof, or to try to heat and cool a structure.

ili učiniti strukturu vodootpornom, ili je pokušati zagrijati ili ohladiti.

We're not the first ones to build houses for our young.

Nismo prvi koji su gradili kuće za svoje mlade.

What's happening now, in this field called biomimicry,

Ono što se događa sada, u tom polju zvanom biomimikrija,

is that people are beginning to remember

jest da se ljudi počinju prisjećati

that organisms, other organisms,

kako organizmi, drugi organizmi,

the rest of the natural world,

ostatak prirodnog svijeta,

are doing things very similar to what we need to do.

rade stvari vrlo slične onima koje bi mi trebali raditi.

But in fact they are doing them in a way

Ali u biti, oni ih rade na način

that have allowed them to live gracefully on this planet

koji im dozvoljava da žive dostojanstveno na ovom planetu

for billions of years.

već milijardama godina.

So these people, biomimics,

Dakle, ti ljudi, biomimici,

are nature's apprentices.

su učenici prirode.

And they're focusing on function.

I oni se fokusiraju na funkciju.

What I'd like to do is show you a few of the things

Ono što bih Vam željela pokazati su neke od stvari

that they're learning.

koje oni uče.

They have asked themselves,

Oni su se upitali,

"What if, every time I started to invent something,

"Što, kad bih svaki put kada počinjem izumljivati nešto,

I asked, 'How would nature solve this?'"

pitao, 'Kako bi priroda to riješila?'"

And here is what they're learning.

A ovo je ono što uče.

This is an amazing picture from a Czech photographer named Jack Hedley.

Ovo je nevjerojatna slika češkog fotografa zvanog Jack Hedley.

This is a story about an engineer at J.R. West.

Ovo je priča o inžinjeru na JR West-u.

They're the people who make the bullet train.

To su ljudi koji proizvode vlak metak.

It was called the bullet train

Nazvan je vlak metak

because it was rounded in front,

jer je bio zaobljen sprijeda.

but every time it went into a tunnel

Ali svaki put kada bi ušao u tunel,

it would build up a pressure wave,

proizveo bi val pritiska.

and then it would create like a sonic boom when it exited.

A zatim bi proizveo zvučni prasak kada bi izašao.

So the engineer's boss said,

Stoga je šef rekao inžinjeru,

"Find a way to quiet this train."

"Pronađi način da utišaš taj vlak."

He happened to be a birder.

Ispostavilo se da on proučava ptice.

He went to the equivalent of an Audubon Society meeting.

Otišao je na sastanak ekvivalentan sastanku Društva Audubon-a.

And he studied -- there was a film about king fishers.

I proučavao je, postojao je film o vodomaru.

And he thought to himself, "They go from one density of medium,

I pomislio je, "Oni idu iz gustoće jednog medija,

the air, into another density of medium, water,

zraka, u gustoću drugog medija, vode,

without a splash. Look at this picture.

bez prskanja. Pogledajte ovu sliku.

Without a splash, so they can see the fish.

Bez prskanja, tako da mogu vidjeti ribu.

And he thought, "What if we do this?"

I pomislio je, "Što kad bi napravili to?"

Quieted the train.

Stišali vlak.

Made it go 10 percent faster on 15 percent less electricity.

Omogućiti da ide 10 posto brže s 15 posto manje struje.

How does nature repel bacteria?

Kako priroda tjera bakterije?

We're not the first ones to have to protect ourselves

Nismo prvi koji su se zaštitili

from some bacteria.

od nekih bakterija.

Turns out that -- this is a Galapagos Shark.

Ispostavlja se da -- ovo je morski pas Galapagosa.

It has no bacteria on its surface, no fouling on its surface, no barnacles.

Nema bakterija na svojoj površini, nema obraštaja na svojoj površini, nema školjki.

And it's not because it goes fast.

A to nije zato jer se brzo kreće.

It actually basks. It's a slow-moving shark.

On zapravo uživa. To je morski pas koji se sporo kreće.

So how does it keep its body free of bacteria build-up?

Kako, dakle, štiti svoje tijelo od nakupina bakterija?

It doesn't do it with a chemical.

Ne radi to sa kemikalijom.

It does it, it turns out, with the same denticles

Radi to, ispostavilo se, s istim malim zubićima

that you had on Speedo bathing suits,

koje ste imali na Speedo kupaćim odijelima,

that broke all those records in the Olympics,

a koji su srušili sve te rekorde na Olimpijadi.

but it's a particular kind of pattern.

Ali to je poseban oblik uzorka.

And that pattern, the architecture of that pattern

A taj uzorak, arhitektura tog uzorka

on its skin denticles

na njegovoj koži malih zubića

keep bacteria from being able to land and adhere.

sprječava bakterije da se spuste na njega i pričvrste.

There is a company called Sharklet Technologies

Postoji kompanija zvana Sharklet Technologies

that's now putting this on the surfaces in hospitals

koja stavlja to na površine u bolnicama

to keep bacteria from landing,

kako bi spriječili bakterije da se nastane.

which is better than dousing it with anti-bacterials or harsh cleansers

Što je bolje od polijevanja s antibakterijskim ili jakim sredstvima za čišćenje

that many, many organisms are now becoming drug resistant.

na čije kemikalije sada mnogi, mnogi organizmi postaju otporni.

Hospital-acquired infections are now killing

Infekcije zadobivene u bolnici sada ubijaju

more people every year in the United States

više ljudi svake godine, u Sjedinjenim Državama

than die from AIDS or cancer or car accidents combined --

nego što ih umre svake godine od SIDE ili raka ili automobilskih nesreća zajedno,

about 100,000.

oko 100 tisuća.

This is a little critter that's in the Namibian desert.

Ovo je malo stvorenje koje se nalazi u Namibijskoj pustinji.

It has no fresh water that it's able to drink,

Nema svježe vode koju bi mogao popiti.

but it drinks water out of fog.

Ali pije vodu iz magle.

It's got bumps on the back of its wing covers.

Ima ispupčenja na stražnjem dijelu pokrivala za krila.

And those bumps act like a magnet for water.

I ta ispupčenja djeluju poput magneta za vodu.

They have water-loving tips, and waxy sides.

Imaju vrhove koji su ugodni za vodu, i voštane strane.

And the fog comes in and it builds up on the tips.

I magla dođe i taloži se na vrhovima.

And it goes down the sides and goes into the critter's mouth.

I spušta se postrance i odlazi u usta tog stvorenja.

There is actually a scientist here at Oxford

Postoji zapravo znanstvenik ovdje u Oxfordu

who studied this, Andrew Parker.

koji je proučavao to, Andrew Parker.

And now kinetic and architectural firms like Grimshaw

I sada kinetičke i arhitekturalne kompanije poput Grimshaw-a

are starting to look at this as a way

počinju promatrati to kao način

of coating buildings

premazivanja zgrada

so that they gather water from the fog.

kako bi skupili vodu iz magle.

10 times better than our fog-catching nets.

10 puta bolje nego naše mreže za hvatanje magle.

CO2 as a building block.

CO2 kao gradbeni blok.

Organisms don't think of CO2 as a poison.

Organizmi ne razmišljaju o CO2 kao o otrovu.

Plants and organisms that make shells,

Biljke i organizmi koji tvore školjke,

coral, think of it as a building block.

koralje, razmišljaju o njemu kao o gradbenom bloku.

There is now a cement manufacturing company

Sada postoji kompanija za proizvodnju cementa

starting in the United States called Calera.

koja započinje u Sjedinjenim Državama zvana Clara.

They've borrowed the recipe from the coral reef,

Posudili su recept od koraljnog grebena.

and they're using CO2 as a building block

I upotrebljavaju CO2 kao gradbeni blok

in cement, in concrete.

u cementu, u betonu.

Instead of -- cement usually

Umjesto, cement obično

emits a ton of CO2 for every ton of cement.

emitira tonu CO2 za svaku tonu cementa.

Now it's reversing that equation,

Sada okreće tu jednadžbu,

and actually sequestering half a ton of CO2

i zapravo sekvestrira pola tone CO2

thanks to the recipe from the coral.

zahvaljujući receptu koraljnog grebena.

None of these are using the organisms.

Nijedna od tih ne koristi organizme.

They're really only using the blueprints or the recipes

One zapravo koriste samo nacrte ili recepte

from the organisms.

od organizama.

How does nature gather the sun's energy?

Kako priroda sakuplja sunčevu energiju?

This is a new kind of solar cell

Ovo je nova vrsta solarne ćelije

that's based on how a leaf works.

koja se bazira na principu funkcioniranja lista.

It's self-assembling.

Sama se sastavlja.

It can be put down on any substrate whatsoever.

Može se staviti na bilo koju podlogu.

It's extremely inexpensive

Ekstremno je jeftina

and rechargeable every five years.

i puni se svakih pet godina.

It's actually a company a company that I'm involved in called OneSun,

To je zapravo kompanija u koju sam ja uključena zvana OneSun,

with Paul Hawken.

s Paulom Hawkenom.

There are many many ways that nature filters water

Postoji mnogo, mnogo načina na koji priroda filtrira vodu

that takes salt out of water.

da uzima sol iz vode.

We take water and push it against a membrane.

Mi uzmemo vodu i pritisnemo je uz membranu.

And then we wonder why the membrane clogs

I zatim se pitamo zašto se membrana začepi

and why it takes so much electricity.

i zašto je potrebno toliko struje.

Nature does something much more elegant.

Priroda radi nešto puno elegantnije.

And it's in every cell.

I postoji u svakoj stanici.

Every red blood cell of your body right now

Svaka crvena krvna stanica u vašem tijelu upravo sada

has these hourglass-shaped pores

sadrži te pore koje imaju oblik pješćanog sata

called aquaporins.

zvane aquaporini.

They actually export water molecules through.

One zapravo prenose molekule vode preko.

It's kind of a forward osmosis.

To je neka vrsta osmoze koja se odvija unaprijed.

They export water molecules through,

One prenose molekule vode preko,

and leave solutes on the other side.

i ostavljaju topive substance na drugoj strani.

A company called Aquaporin is starting to make desalination

Kompanija zvana Aquaporin počinje prozvoditi desalinacijske

membranes mimicking this technology.

membrane oponašajući tu tehnologiju.

Trees and bones are constantly reforming themselves

Drveća i kosti se neprestano reformiraju

along lines of stress.

uzduž linija naprezanja.

This algorithm has been put into a software program

Taj algoritam je pretočen u softverski program

that's now being used to make bridges lightweight,

koji se sada koristi kako bi se smanjila težina mostova,

to make building beams lightweight.

kako bi se grede zgrada olakšale.

Actually G.M. Opel used it

Zapravo, G.M. Opel je to iskoristio

to create that skeleton you see,

kako bi kreirao kostur koji vidite,

in what's called their bionic car.

u ono što je nazvano njihovom bioničkom automobilom.

It lightweighted that skeleton using a minimum amount of material,

Olakšao je taj kostur koristeći minimalnu količinu materijala,

as an organism must,

kako to organizam i mora,

for the maximum amount of strength.

za maksimalnu količinu snage.

This beetle, unlike this chip bag here,

Ova buba, za razliku od ove torbe za čips ovdje,

this beetle uses one material, chitin.

ova buba koristi jedan materijal, hitin.

And it finds many many ways

I pronalazi mnogo, mnogo načina

to put many functions into it.

da stavi što više funkcija u njega.

It's waterproof.

Vodootporan je.

It's strong and resilient.

Snažan je i elastičan.

It's breathable. It creates color through structure.

Prozračan je. Kreira boju kroz strukturu.

Whereas that chip bag has about seven layers to do all of those things.

Dok ova torba za čips ima oko sedam slojeva da napravi sve te stvari.

One of our major inventions

Jedan od naših velikih izuma

that we need to be able to do

koje moramo moći napraviti

to come even close to what these organisms can do

kako bismo se mogli približiti onome što ti organizmi mogu napraviti

is to find a way

jest pronaći način

to minimize the amount of material, the kind of material we use,

da minimiziramo količinu materijala, vrstu materijala koju koristimo,

and to add design to it.

i da mu dodamo dizajn.

We use five polymers in the natural world

U prirodnom svijetu koristimo pet polimera

to do everything that you see.

kako bismo napravili sve što vidite.

In our world we use about 350 polymers

U našem svijetu mi koristimo oko 350 polimera

to make all this.

kako bismo napravili sve ovo.

Nature is nano.

Priroda je nano.

Nanotechnology, nanoparticles, you hear a lot of worry about this.

Nanotehnologija, nanočestice, čujete mnogo briga oko toga.

Loose nanoparticles. What is really interesting to me

Labave nanočestice. Ono što mi je doista interesantno

is that not many people have been asking,

je da nema puno ljudi koji su pitali,

"How can we consult nature about how to make nanotechnology safe?"

"Kako možemo konzultirati prirodu da učinimo nanotehnologiju sigurnom?"

Nature has been doing that for a long time.

Priroda to radi već dugo vremena.

Embedding nanoparticles in a material for instance, always.

Omotavanje nanočestica u materijale, primjerice, uvijek.

In fact, sulfur-reducing bacteria,

Zapravo, bakterije koje smanjuju sumpor,

as part of their synthesis,

kao dio svoje sinteze,

they will emit, as a byproduct,

će emitirati, kao nusproizvod,

nanoparticles into the water.

nanočestice u vodu.

But then right after that, they emit a protein

Ali odmah nakon toga, emitirat će protein

that actually gathers and aggregates those nanoparticles

koji sakuplja i agregira te nanočestice

so that they fall out of solution.

tako da se izluče iz otopine.

Energy use. Organisms sip energy,

Korištenje energije. Organizmi gutaju energiju.

because they have to work or barter for every single bit that they get.

Zato jer moraju raditi za ili razmjenjivati svaki dio koji dobiju.

And one of the largest fields right now,

A jedno od najvećih polja upravo sada,

in the world of energy grids,

u svijetu energetskih mreža,

you hear about the smart grid.

slušate o pametnim mrežama.

One of the largest consultants are the social insects.

Jedni od najvećih konzultanata su društveni insekti.

Swarm technology. There is a company called Regen.

Tehnologija jata. Postoji kompanija zvana Regen.

They are looking at how ants and bees

Promatraju način na koji mravi i pčele

find their food and their flowers

pronalaze svoju hranu i svoje cvijeće

in the most effective way

na najučinkovitiji način

as a whole hive.

kao cijela košnica.

And they're having appliances in your home

I oni imaju u vašem domu uređaje

talk to one another through that algorithm,

pričaju jedan s drugim pomoću tog algoritma,

and determine how to minimize peak power use.

i pronalaze načine kako minimizirati potrošnju na vrhuncu.

There's a group of scientists in Cornell

Postoji grupa znanstvenika na Cornell-u

that are making what they call a synthetic tree,

koji izrađuju nešto što zovu sintetičko drvo.

because they are saying, "There is no pump at the bottom of a tree."

Jer kažu, "Nema crpke u podnožju drveta."

It's capillary action and transpiration pulls

Njegovo kapilarno djelovanje i transpiracija vuku

water up, a drop at a time,

vodu gore, kap po kap,

pulling it, releasing it from a leaf and pulling it up through the roots.

povlačeći je, ispuštajući je kroz list i povlačeći je gore kroz korijenje.

And they're creating -- you can think of it as a kind of wallpaper.

I stvaraju -- možete zamisliti to kao vrstu zidne obloge.

They're thinking about putting it on the insides of buildings

Razmišljaju o tome da je stave s unutrašnje strane zgrada

to move water up without pumps.

kako bi nosili vodu gore bez crpki.

Amazon electric eel -- incredibly endangered,

Amazonska električna jegulja. Iznimno ugrožena,

some of these species --

neke od tih vrsta,

create 600 volts of electricity

proizvode 600 volti struje

with the chemicals that are in your body.

s kemikalijama koje su u vašim tijelima.

Even more interesting to me is that

Meni je čak zanimljivije da je

600 volts doesn't fry it.

600 volti ne sprži.

You know we use PVC, and we sheath wires

Znate kako koristimo PVC. I oblažemo žice

with PVC for insulation.

s PVC-om radi izolacije.

These organisms, how are they insulating

Ti organizmi, kako se oni izoliraju

against their own electric charge?

protiv svog vlastitog električnog napona?

These are some questions that we've yet to ask.

Ovo su samo neka pitanja koja se tek moramo zapitati.

Here's a wind turbine manufacturer that went to a whale.

Ovo je proizvođač turbina na vjetar koji je otišao do kita.

Humpback whale has scalloped edges on its flippers.

Kit grbavac ima zapečene rubove na svojim perajama.

And those scalloped edges

A ti zapečeni rubovi

play with flow in such a way

se poigravaju sa tokom na način

that is reduces drag by 32 percent.

da smanjuje vuču za 32 posto.

These wind turbines can rotate in incredibly slow windspeeds, as a result.

Kao rezultat, te turbine na vjetar mogu rotirati na nevjerojatno malim brzinama vjetra.

MIT just has a new radio chip

MIT ima novi radio čip

that uses far less power than our chips.

koji koristi mnogo manje energije nego naši čipovi.

And it's based on the cochlear of your ear,

I baziran je na kohlearu vašeg uha,

able to pick up internet, wireless, television signals

i može uhvatiti Internet, bežićni Internet, televizijske signale

and radio signals, in the same chip.

i radio signale, u istom čipu.

Finally, on an ecosystem scale.

Napokon, na skali ekosustava.

At Biomimicry Guild, which is my consulting company,

U Biomimicry Guild-u, koja je moja konzultantska kompanija,

we work with HOK Architects.

radimo sa HOK Arhitektima,

We're looking at building whole cities

promatramo gradnju cijelih gradova,

in their planning department.

u njihovom odjelu planiranja.

And what we're saying is that,

I ono što kažemo jest to da,

shouldn't our cities do at least as well,

ne bi li naši gradovi trebali biti jednako dobri,

in terms of ecosystem services,

u terminima usluga ekosustava,

as the native systems that they replace?

poput prirodnih sustava koje zamjenjuju?

So we're creating something called Ecological Performance Standards

Stvaramo, dakle, nešto što se zove ekološki standardi učinkovitosti,

that hold cities to this higher bar.

koji drže gradove na toj višoj ljestvici.

The question is -- biomimicry is an incredibly powerful

Pitanje je -- biomimikrija je nevjerojatno moćan

way to innovate.

način inoviranja.

The question I would ask is, "What's worth solving?"

Pitanje koje bih ja postavila je, "Što je vrijedno rješiti?"

If you haven't seen this, it's pretty amazing.

Ukoliko niste vidjeli ovo, prilično je nevjerojatno.

Dr. Adam Neiman.

This is a depiction of

Ovo je prikaz

all of the water on Earth

sve vode na Zemlji

in relation to the volume of the Earth --

u odnosu na volumen Zemlje,

all the ice, all the fresh water, all the sea water --

sav led, sva svježa voda, sva morska voda,

and all the atmosphere that we can breathe, in relation to the volume of the Earth.

i sva atmosfera koju možemo disati, u odnosu na volumen Zemlje.

And inside those balls

I unutar tih kuglica

life, over 3.8 billion years,

život, preko 3,8 milijardi godina,

has made a lush, livable place for us.

je proizveo bujno, podnošljivo mjesto za nas.

And we are in a long, long line

A mi se nalazimo u dugačkom, dugačkom redu

of organisms

organizama

to come to this planet and ask ourselves,

koji su došli na ovaj planet i koji se moraju zapitati,

"How can we live here gracefully over the long haul?"

"Kako dugoročno možemo živjeti dostojanstveno?"

How can we do what life has learned to do?

Kako možemo učiniti ono što je život naučio raditi?

Which is to create conditions conducive to life.

A to je stvoriti uvjete pogodne za život.

Now in order to do this, the design challenge

Kako bismo postigli to, izazov dizajna

of our century, I think,

našeg stoljeća, mislim,

we need a way to remind ourselves of those geniuses,

potreban nam je način da se prisjetimo tih genija,

and to somehow meet them again.

i da ih na neki način ponovno sretnemo.

One of the big ideas, one of the big projects

Jedna od velikih ideja, jedan od velikih projekata

I've been honored to work on

na kojemu sam imala čast raditi

is a new website. And I would encourage you all to please go to it.

je nova web stranica. I sve bih Vas potaknula da odete na nju.

It's called AskNature.org.

Zove se AskNature.org.

And what we're trying to do, in a TEDesque way,

I ono što pokušavamo učiniti, na TED-ovski način,

is to organize all biological information

jest organizirati sve biološke informacije

by design and engineering function.

prema funkcijama dizajna i inžinjeringa.

And we're working with EOL, Encyclopedia of Life,

I surađujemo s EOL, Enciklopedijom života,

Ed Wilson's TED wish.

TED želja Eda Wilsona.

And he's gathering all biological information

I on sakuplja sve biološke informacije

on one website.

na jednoj stranici.

And the scientists who are contributing to EOL are answering a question,

A znanstvenici koji doprinose EOL-u odgovaraju na pitanje.

"What can we learn from this organism?"

"Što možemo naučiti od tog organizma?"

And that information will go into AskNature.org.

I ta informacija će ići na AskNature.org.

And hopefully, any inventor, anywhere in the world,

I nadamo se, svaki izumitelj, bilogdje u svijetu,

will be able, in the moment of creation,

će moći, u trenutku stvaranja,

to type in, "How does nature remove salt from water?"

utipkati, "Kako priroda otklanja sol iz vode?"

And up will come mangroves, and sea turtles

I prikazati će se mangrove i morske kornjače,

and your own kidneys.

i vaši vlastiti bubrezi.

And we'll begin to

I počet ćemo

be able to

biti sposobni

do as Cody does,

raditi ono što Cody radi,

and actually be in touch

i zapravo biti u doticaju

with these incredible models,

sa svim tim nevjerojatnim modelima,

these elders that have been here

tim starješinama koji su bili ovdje

far, far longer than we have.

mnogo, mnogo duže od nas.

And hopefully, with their help,

I nadam se, s njihovom pomoći,

we'll learn how to live on this Earth,

naučit ćemo kako živjeti na ovoj Zemlji,

and on this home that is ours, but not ours alone.

i na ovom domu koji je naš, ali ne samo naš.

Thank you very much.

Puno Vam hvala.
