Thomas Heatherwick: Building the Seed Cathedral

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

Hello, my name is Thomas Heatherwick.

Dobar dan, moje ime je Thomas Heatherwick.

I have a studio in London

Imam studio u Londonu

that has a particular approach

koji ima poseban pristup

to designing buildings.

dizajniranju zgrada.

When I was growing up,

Tijekom mog odrastanja,

I was exposed to making

bio sam izložen izrađivanju

and crafts and materials

i zanatu i materijalima

and invention on a small scale.

i izumima na maloj razini.

And I was there looking

I odonda sam promatrao

at the larger scale of buildings

zgrade na višoj razini

and finding

i pronalazio

that the buildings that were around me

kako se zgrade koje su bile oko mene

and that were being designed

i koje su dizajnirane

and that were there in the publications I was seeing

i koje su bile u publikacijama koje sam pratio

felt soulless and cold.

doimaju bez duše i hladne.

And there on the smaller scale,

A na manjoj razini,

the scale of an earring

razini naušnice

or a ceramic pot

ili keramičkog lonca

or a musical instrument,

ili glazbenog instrumenta,

was a materiality and a soulfulness.

to je bila materijalnost i duševnost.

And this influenced me.

I to je utjecalo na mene.

The first building I built was 20 years ago.

Prvu zgradu sam izgradio prije 20 godina.

And since, in the last 20 years,

I otada, u posljednjih 20 godina,

I've developed a studio in London.

razvio sam studio u Londonu.

Sorry, this was my mother, by the way,

Oprostite, ovo je bila moja majka, usput,

in her bead shop in London.

u svojoj trgovini perlama u Londonu.

I spent a lot of time counting beads and things like that.

Proveo sam mnogo vremena brojeći perle i stvari poput toga.

I'm just going to show, for people who don't know my studio's work,

Pokazat ću, za ljude koji nisu upoznati s radom mog studija,

a few projects that we've worked on.

nekoliko projekata na kojima smo radili.

This is a hospital building.

Ovo je zgrada bolnice.

This is a shop for a bag company.

Ovo je trgovina za kompaniju torbi.

This is studios for artists.

Ovo je studio za umjetnike.

This is a sculpture

Ovo je skulptura

made from a million yards of wire

napravljena od 914,4 kilometra žice

and 150,000 glass beads

i 150.000 staklenih perli

the size of a golf ball.

veličine loptice za golf.

And this is a window display.

A ovo je prikaz na prozoru.

And this is pair of cooling towers

A ovo je par tornjeva za hlađenje

for an electricity substation

za električnu trafostanicu

next to St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

pokraj katedrale Svetog Pavla u Londonu.

And this is a temple in Japan

A ovo je hram u Japanu

for a Buddhist monk.

za budističke svećenike.

And this is a cafe by the sea

A ovo je kafić uz more

in Britain.

u Britaniji.

And just very quickly,

I samo vrlo kratko,

something we've been working on very recently

nešto na čemu smo radili nedavno

is we were commissioned by the mayor of London

i za što smo dobili narudžbu od gradonačelnika Londona

to design a new bus

je dizajn novog autobusa

that gave the passenger

koji bi vratio putnicima

their freedom again.

ponovno njihovu slobodu.

Because the original Routemaster bus

Jer izvorni Routemaster autobus

that some of you may be familiar with,

s kojim su neki od vas upoznati,

which had this open platform at the back --

koji je u stražnjem dijelu imao otvorenu platformu --

in fact, I think all our Routemasters

zapravo, mislim kako su svi naši Routemasteri

are here in California now actually.

upravo ovdje u Kaliforniji.

But they aren't in London.

Ali nisu u Londonu.

And so you're stuck on a bus.

I tako ste vi zaglavili na autobusu.

And if the bus is going to stop

I ukoliko autobus stane

and it's three yards away from the bus stop,

i to tri metra dalje od autobusne postaje,

you're just a prisoner.

vi ste samo ztvorenik.

But the mayor of London wanted to reintroduce

Ali gradonačelnik Londona je želio ponovno predstaviti

buses with this open platform.

autobuse s tim otvorenim platformama.

So we've been working with Transport for London,

Dakle, mi smo radili s Transportom za London,

and that organization

a ta organizacija

hasn't actually been responsible

nije bila odgovorna

as a client for a new bus

kao klijent za novi autobus

for 50 years.

proteklih 50 godina.

And so we've been very lucky to have a chance to work.

I tako smo mi imali puno sreće dobiti priliku to raditi.

The brief is that the bus should use 40 percent less energy.

Informacija je bila kako bi autobus trebao koristiti 40 posto manje energije.

So it's got hybrid drive.

Dakle, ima hibridni pogon.

And we've been working

I radili smo

to try to improve

kako bismo pokušali poboljšati

everything from the fabric

sve od tkanine

to the format

do formata

and structure

i strukture

and aesthetics.

i estetike.

I was going to show four main projects.

Htio sam pokazati četiri glavna projekta.

And this is a project for a bridge.

A ovo je projekt za most.

And so we were commissioned to design a bridge that would open.

I tako smo dobili narudžbu da dizajniramo most koji bi se otvarao.

And openings seemed --

A otvorenja su se činila --

everyone loves opening bridges,

svi vole mostove koji se otvaraju,

but it's quite a basic thing.

ali to je zapravo osnovna stvar.

I think we all kind of stand and watch.

Mislim kako svi mi stojimo i gledamo.

But the bridges that we saw

Ali mostovi koje smo mi vidjeli

that opened and closed --

a koji su se otvarali i zatvarali --

I'm slightly squeamish --

malo sam gadljiv --

but I once saw a photograph of a footballer

ali jednom sam vidio fotografiju nogometaša

who was diving for a ball.

koji je zaronio za loptom.

And as he was diving, someone had stamped on his knee,

I kako je zaranjao, netko mu je nagazio na koljeno,

and it had broken like this.

i slomilo se nekako ovako.

And then we looked at these kinds of bridges

I zatim smo promatrali sve te vrste mostova

and just couldn't help feeling

i nismo si mogli pomoći a da ne osjećamo

that it was a beautiful thing that had broken.

kako je lijepa stvar to što se slomilo.

And so this is in Paddington in London.

I ovo je u Paddingtonu u Londonu.

And it's a very boring bridge, as you can see.

I to je vrlo dosadan most, kao što možete vidjeti.

It's just steel and timber.

To je samo čelik i drvo.

But instead of what it is,

Ali umjesto toga što je,

our focus was on the way it worked.

naš fokus je bio na tome kako je funkcionirao.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

So we liked the idea that the two farthest bits of it

Stoga nam se sviđala ideja kako bi njegova dva najudaljenija kraja

would end up kissing each other.

završila skupa i spojila se poljupcem.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

We actually had to halve its speed,

Morali smo zapravo prepoloviti njegovu brzinu,

because everyone was too scared when we first did it.

jer su se svi previše bojali kada smo to prvi puta učinili.

So that's it speeded up.

Dakle, ovo je ubrzano.

A project that we've been working on very recently

Projekt na kojem radimo odnedavno

is to design a new biomass power station --

je dizajn nove energetske stanice za biomasu --

so a power station that uses organic waste material.

dakle energetska stanica koja koristi organski otpadni materijal.

In the news,

U vijestima,

the subject of where our future water is going to come from

predmet otkuda bi naša buduća voda mogla dolaziti

and where our power is going to come from

i otkuda će naša energija dolaziti

is in all the papers all the time.

je u svim novinama cijelo vrijeme.

And we used to be quite proud of the way we generated power.

I bili smo prilično ponosni na način na koji smo dobivali energiju.

But recently,

Ali u zadnje vrijeme,

any annual report of a power company

bilo koje godišnje izvješće neke energetske kompanije

doesn't have a power station on it.

nema energetsku stanicu u sebi.

It has a child running through a field, or something like that.

Ima dijete koje trči kroz polje, ili nešto nalik tome.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And so when a consortium of engineers approached us

I stoga kada nam je konzorcij inžinjera pristupio

and asked us to work with them on this power station,

i zamolio nas da radimo s njima na toj energetskoj stanici,

our condition was that we would work with them

naš uvjet je bio kako ćemo raditi s njima

and that, whatever we did,

i kako, štogod da učinili,

we were not just going to decorate a normal power station.

nećemo samo ukrasiti normalnu energetsku stanicu.

And instead, we had to learn -- we kind of forced them to teach us.

I umjesto toga, morali smo učiti -- morali smo ih na neki način prisiliti da nas nauče.

And so we spent time traveling with them

I tako smo proveli vrijeme putujući s njima

and learning about all the different elements,

i učeći o svim tim različitim elementima,

and finding that there were plenty of inefficiencies

i otkrivajući kako je postojalo mnogo neučinkovitosti

that weren't being capitalized on.

koje nisu bile kapitalizirane.

That just taking a field and banging all these things out

Kako uzimanje polja i izbacivanje svih tih stvari van

isn't necessarily the most efficient way that they could work.

nije nužno najučinkovitiji način na koji bi one mogle raditi.

So we looked at how we could compose all those elements --

Stoga smo gledali kako bismo mogli posložiti sve te elemente --

instead of just litter, create one composition.

umjesto samog smeća, mogli bismo stvoriti jedan sastav.

And what we found --

A ono što smo otkrili --

this area is one of the poorest parts of Britain.

ovo područje je jedno od najsiromašnijih u Britaniji.

It was voted the worst place in Britain to live.

Bilo je izglasano kao najgore mjesto za živjeti u Britaniji.

And there are 2,000 new homes being built

A 2.000 novih domova se gradi

next to this power station.

odmah pokraj te elektrane.

So it felt this has a social dimension.

Stoga se činilo kako ovo ima društvenu dimenziju.

It has a symbolic importance.

Ima simboličku važnost.

And we should be proud of where our power is coming from,

A trebali bismo biti ponosni na to otkuda naša energija dolazi,

rather than something we are necessarily ashamed of.

a ne se sramiti toga.

So we were looking at how we could make a power station,

Stoga smo promatrali kako bismo mogli izgraditi elektranu,

that, instead of keeping people out

koja, umjesto da drži ljude podalje

and having a big fence around the outside,

i ima veliku ogradu izvana,

could be a place that pulls you in.

može biti mjesto koje vas vuče unutra.

And it has to be --

I mora biti --

I'm trying to get my --

pokušavam preračunati --

250 feet high.

60 metara visoka.

So it felt that what we could try to do

Dakle, učinilo mi se kako bismo mogli pokušati

is make a power park

stvoriti energetski park

and actually bring the whole area in,

i zapravo unijeti cijelo područje unutra,

and using the spare soil that's there on the site,

i koristeći suvišnu zemlju koja nam na gradilištu ostane,

we could make a power station that was silent as well.

mogli bismo izgraditi elektranu koja je jednako tiha.

Because just that soil

Jer upravo ta zemlja

could make the acoustic difference.

bi mogla učiniti akustičnu razliku.

And we also found that we could make a more efficient structure

I ujedno smo otkrili kako bismo mogli strukturu učiniti učinkovitijom

and have a cost-effective way

i imati viši troškovni učinak

of making a structure to do this.

ukoliko bi zgrada mogla to raditi.

The finished project

Finalni proizvod

is meant to be more than just a power station.

je zamišljen da bude više od same elektrane.

It has a space where you could have a bar mitzvah at the top.

Ima prostor gdje možete imati bar mitzvah na vrhu.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And it's a power park.

A to je i energetski park.

So people can come and really experience this

Dakle, ljudi mogu doći i uistinu iskusiti ovo

and also look out all around the area,

i isto tako promatrati cijelo područje,

and use that height that we have to have for its function.

i koristiti tu visinu koju imamo za njegovu funkciju.

In Shanghai,

U Šangaju,

we were invited to build --

pozvani smo da izgradimo --

well we weren't invited; what am I talking about.

pa, nismo bili pozvani; o čemu ja pričam.

We won the competition, and it was painful to get there.

Osvojili smo natječaj, i bilo je bolno doći tamo.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

So we won the competition to build the U.K. pavilion.

Dobili smo natječaj da izgradimo paviljon Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva.

And an expo

A Expo

is a totally bonkers thing.

je potpuno luda stvar.

There's 250 pavilions.

Tamo ima 250 paviljona.

It's the world's biggest ever expo that had ever happened.

To je najveći Expo koji se ikad dogodio na svijetu.

So there are up to a million people there everyday.

Dakle, tamo dođe do milijun ljudi svaki dan.

And 250 countries all competing.

I 250 zemalja se sve natječu.

And the British government saying,

A Britanska vlada kaže,

"You need to be in the top five."

"Morate biti u prvih pet."

And so that became

I tako je to postao

the governmental goal --

vladin cilj --

is, how do you stand out in this chaos,

a to je, kako ćete se uzdići u tom kaosu,

which is an expo of stimulus?

koji predstavlja Expo podražaja?

So our sense was we had to do one thing,

Dakle, naš smisao je kako smo morali učiniti jednu stvar,

and only one thing,

i samo jednu stvar,

instead of trying to have everything.

umjesto da pokušamo imati sve.

And so what we also felt

I ono što smo isto osjećali

was that whatever we did we couldn't do a cheesy advert for Britain.

jest kako, štogod da napravimo, ne možemo imati otrcan oglas za Britaniju.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

But the thing that was true,

Ali ono što je bila istina,

the expo was about the future of cities,

na expu se radilo o budućnosti gradova,

and particularly the Victorians

i naročito su Viktorijci

pioneered integrating nature into the cities.

bili pioniri u integraciji prirode u gradove.

And the world's first public park of modern times

A prvi javni park na svijetu modernih vremena

was in Britain.

je bio u Britaniji.

And the world's first major botanical institution

A prva veća botanička institucija u svijetu

is in London,

je u Londonu.

and they have this extraordinary project

I imaju taj jedinstveni projekt

where they've been collecting 25 percent

gdje sakupljaju 25 posto

of all the world's plant species.

svih svjetskih biljnih vrsta.

So we suddenly realized that there was this thing.

Stoga smo odjednom shvatili kako to postoji.

And everyone agrees that trees are beautiful,

I svi se slažu kako su drveća lijepa.

and I've never met anyone who says, "I don't like trees."

I nikada nisam sreo nekoga tko je rekao, "Ne volim drveća."

And the same with flowers.

A isto je i s cvijećem.

I've never met anyone who says, "I don't like flowers."

Nikada nisam sreo nekoga tko je rekao, "Ne volim cvijeće."

But we realized that seeds --

Ali shvatili smo kako sjemenke --

there's been this very serious project happening --

događao se taj vrlo ozbiljan projekt --

but that seeds --

kako sjemenke --

at these major botanical gardens,

u tim velikim botaničkim vrtovima

seeds aren't on show.

sjemenke se ne prikazuju.

But you just have to go to a garden center,

Već samo morate otići u vrtni centar,

and they're in little paper packets.

i one se nalaze u malim papirnatim paketićima.

But this phenomenal project's been happening.

Ali taj fenomenalan projekt se odvijao.

So we realized we had to make a project

Stoga smo shvatili kako moramo osmisliti projekt

that would be seeds, some kind of seed cathedral.

koje će biti sjemenke, neka vrste katedrale sjemenki.

But how could we show these teeny-weeny things?

Ali kako bismo mogli prikazati te sićušne stvarčice?

And the film "Jurassic Park" actually really helped us.

I film "Jurski park" nam je zapravo pomogao.

Because the DNA of the dinosaur that was trapped in the amber

Jer DNK dinosaura koja je bila zatočena u jantaru

gave us some kind of clue

dala nam je neku vrstu indikacije

that these tiny things

kako bi te male stvarčice

could be trapped and be made to seem precious,

mogle biti zatočene i odati dojam kako su dragocjene,

rather than looking like nuts.

a ne samo da izgledaju poput oraha.

So the challenge was,

Dakle, izazov je bio,

how are we going to bring light and expose these things?

kako ćemo dovesti svijetlo i izložiti te stvari?

We didn't want to make a separate building and have separate content.

Nismo željeli izgraditi odvojenu zgradu i imati odvojen sadržaj.

So we were trying to think,

Stoga smo pokušali razmišljati,

how could we make a whole thing emanate.

kako bismo mogli učiniti cijelu tu stvar kao da se širi.

By the way, we had half the budget of the other Western nations.

Usput rečeno, mi smo imali pola budžeta u odnosu na druge zapadne zemlje.

So that was also in the mix

Dakle, to je bio također dio mješavine

with the site the size of a football pitch.

sa zemljištem veličine nogometnog igrališta.

And so there was one particular toy that gave us a clue.

I tako je tamo bila jedna posebna igračka koja nam je dala trag.

(Video) Voice Over: The new Play-Doh Mop Top Hair Shop.

(Video) Glas: Novi Play-Doh Mop Top Salon kose.

Song: ♫ We've got the Mop Tops, the Play-Doh Mop Tops ♫

Pjesma: ♫ Imamo Mop Tops, Play-Doh Mop Tops ♫

♫ Just turn the chair and grow Play-Doh hair ♫

♫ Samo okreni stolicu i uzgoji Play-Doh kosu ♫

♫ They're the Mop Tops ♫

♫ One su Mop Tops ♫

Thomas Heatherwick: Okay, you get the idea.

Thomas Heatherwick: U redu, shvatili ste bit.

So the idea

Dakle ideja

was to take these 66,000 seeds

je bila uzeti tih 66.000 sjemenki

that they agreed to give us,

koje su oni odlučili nam dati,

and to take each seed and trap it

i uzeti svaku sjemenku i zatočiti je

in this precious optical hair

u tu dragocjenu optičku vlas

and grow that through this box,

i uzgojito to kroz ovu kutiju,

very simple box element,

vrlo jednostavan element kutije,

and make it a building

i učiniti je zgradom

that could move in the wind.

koja bi se mogla pomicati na vjetru.

So the whole thing can gently move when the wind blows.

Dakle, cijela stvar se može lagano njihati kada vjetar puše.

And inside, the daylight --

A unutra, dnevna svjetlost --

each one is an optic

svaka od njih je optička

and it brings light into the center.

i usmjerava svjetlost prema sredini.

And by night,

A tijekom noći,

artificial light in each one

umjetno svjetlo u svakoj od njih

emanates and comes out to the outside.

prolazi kroz njih i izlazi s vanjske strane.

And to make the project affordable,

A kako bismo učinili ovaj projekt isplativim,

we focused our energy.

usmjerili smo našu energiju.

Instead of building a building as big as the football pitch,

Umjesto gradnje zgrade velike poput nogometnog igrališta,

we focused it on this one element.

usmjerili smo je na taj jedan element.

And the government agreed to do that

I vlada se složila to učiniti

and not do anything else,

i ne učiniti ništa više,

and focus our energy on that.

i usmjeriti našu energiju na to.

And so the rest of the site was a public space.

I stoga je ostatak zemljišta bio javni prostor.

And with a million people there a day,

A s milijun ljudi dnevno koji tamo prolaze,

it just felt like offering some public space.

bilo je prikladno ponuditi javni prostor.

We worked with an AstroTurf manufacturer

Radili smo s proizvođačem Astro Turfa

to develop a mini-me version

na razvijanju minijaturne verzije

of the seed cathedral,

katedrale sjemenki,

so that, even if you're partially-sighted,

tako da, čak i ako ste slabovidni,

that it was kind of crunchy and soft,

to je bilo pomalo hrskavo i mekano,

that piece of landscape that you see there.

ovaj komad krajolika koji vidite ovdje.

And then, you know when a pet has an operation

I zatim, znate kada kućni ljubimac ide na operaciju,

and they shave a bit of the skin

i oni obriju dio kože

and get rid of the fur --

i riješe se krzna --

in order to get you to go into the seed cathedral,

kako bi vas doveli u katedralu sjemenki,

in effect, we've shaved it.

mi smo je obrijali.

And inside there's nothing;

A unutra nema ničega;

there's no famous actor's voice;

nema glasa poznatog glumca;

there's no projections;

nema projekcija;

there's no televisions; there's no color changing.

nema televizije; nema mijenjanja boja;

There's just silence

postoji samo tišina

and a cool temperature.

i ugodna temperatura.

And if a cloud goes past,

A ako oblak prolazi,

you can see a cloud on the tips

možete vidjeti oblak na vrhovima

where it's letting the light through.

kroz koji dolazi svjetlost.

This is the only project that we've done

Ovo je jedini projekt koji smo napravili

where the finished thing

gdje finalni proizvod

looked more like a rendering than our renderings.

izgleda više kao nacrt nego naši nacrti.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

A key thing was how people would interact.

Ključna stvar je bila kako će ljudi vršiti interakciju.

I mean, in a way it was the most serious thing

Mislim, u jednu ruku bila je to najozbiljnija stvar

you could possible do at the expo.

koju ste mogli učiniti na Expu.

And I just wanted to show you.

I samo sam vam htio pokazati.

The British government --

Britanska vlada --

any government is potentially the worst client in the world

bilo koja vlada je potencijalno najgori klijent na svijetu

you could ever possibly want to have.

kojeg biste mogli poželjeti.

And there was a lot of terror.

I bilo je mnogo terora.

But there was an underlying support.

Ali postojala je i osnovna potpora.

And so there was a moment

I došao je trenutak

when suddenly -- actually, the next thing.

kada odjednom -- zapravo, iduća stvar.

This is the head of U.K. Trade and Investment,

Ovo je čelnik britanske Trgovine i investicija,

who was our client,

koji je bio naš klijent,

with the Chinese children, using the landscape.

s kineskom djecom, koristeći krajolik.

(Video) Children: One, two, three, go.

(Video) Djeca: Jedan, dva, tri, idemo.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

TH: I'm sorry about my stupid voice there.

TH: Ja se ispričavam zbog svog glupog glasa tamo.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

So finally, texture is something.

Dakle, konačno, tekstura je nešto.

In the projects we've been working on,

Na projektima na kojima smo radili,

these slick buildings,

te glatke zgrade,

where they might be a fancy shape,

gdje bi moglo biti otmjenog oblika,

but the materiality feels the same,

ali materijalnost se doima istom,

is something that we've been trying to research really,

su nešto što smo doista pokušavali proučavati,

and explore alternatives.

i otkriti opcije.

And the project that we're building in Malaysia

A projekt koji gradimo u Maleziji

is apartment buildings

su stanovi

for a property developer.

za građevinsku kompaniju.

And it's in a piece of land

A nalaze se na komadu zemlje

that's this site.

koji je ovo zemljište.

And the mayor of Kuala Lumpur

I gradonačelnik Kuala Lumpura

said that, if this developer

je rekao, ako taj vlasnik građevinskog poduzeća

would give something that gave something back to the city,

napravi nešto što će vratiti nekako gradu,

they would give them more gross floor area, buildable.

oni će mu dati više ukupne površine na kojoj može graditi.

So there was an incentive for the developer

Dakle, postojao je poticaj građevinaru

to really try to think about

da doista pokuša razmisliti o tome

what would be better for the city.

što bi bilo bolje za grad.

And the conventional thing with apartment buildings

A konvencionalna stvar sa stanovima

in this part of the world

u tom dijelu svijeta

is you have your tower,

je da imate svoju zgradu,

and you squeeze a few trees around the edge,

i ugurate nekoliko drveća oko rubova,

and you see cars parked.

i vidite parkirane aute.

It's actually only the first couple of floors that you really experience,

Zapravo, samo prvih par katova doista možete iskusiti,

and the rest of it is just for postcards.

a svi ostali su samo za razglednicu.

The lowest value is actually the bottom part of a tower like this.

Najniža vrijednost je zapravo u donjem dijelu nebodera poput ovog.

So if we could chop that away

Dakle, ako bismo mogli to odrezati

and give the building a small bottom,

i dati zgradi malo podnožje,

we could take that bit and put it at the top

mogli bismo uzeti taj komad i staviti ga na vrh

where the greater commercial value is for a property developer.

gdje se nalazi veća komercijalna vrijednost za građevinara.

And by linking these together,

I povezujući to zajedno,

we could have 90 percent of the site

mogli bismo imati 90 posto zemljišta

as a rainforest,

kao prašumu,

instead of only 10 percent of scrubby trees

umjesto samo 10 posto zakržljalih drveća

and bits of road around buildings.

i komadiće ceste oko zgrada.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

So we're building these buildings.

Dakle, gradimo te zgrade.

They're actually identical, so it's quite cost-effective.

One su zapravo identične, stoga je to prilično troškovno učinkovito.

They're just chopped at different heights.

One su samo odrezane na različitim visinama.

But the key part

Ali ključni dio

is trying to give back an extraordinary piece of landscape,

je pokušati vratiti natrag izniman dio krajolika,

rather than engulf it.

umjesto okružiti isti.

And that's my final slide.

I to je moj posljednji slajd.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)

June Cohen: So thank you. Thank you, Thomas. You're a delight.

June Cohen: Dakle, hvala ti. Hvala ti, Thomase. Bilo je zadovoljstvo.

Since we have an extra minute here,

Kako sada imamo dodatnu minutu,

I thought perhaps you could tell us a little bit about these seeds,

možda bi nam mogao reći malo više o tim sjemenkama,

which maybe came from the shaved bit of the building.

koje možda dolaze s obrijanog dijela zgrade.

TH: These are a few of the tests we did

TH: Ovo su neki od testova koje smo radili

when we were building the structure.

kada smo gradili strukturu.

So there were 66,000 of these.

Dakle, bilo ih je 66.000 takvih.

This optic

Ova optika

was 22 feet long.

je 6.6 metara dugačka.

And so the daylight was just coming --

I stoga je dnevna svjetlost dolazila --

it was caught on the outside of the box

uhvaćena je s vanjske strane kutije

and was coming down to illuminate each seed.

i spuštala se kako bi osvjetlila svako sjeme.

Waterproofing the building was a bit crazy.

Učiniti zgradu vodootpornom je bilo pomalo ludo.

Because it's quite hard to waterproof buildings anyway,

Jer je ionako teško učiniti zgrade vodootpornim,

but if you say you're going to drill 66,000 holes in it --

ali kada kažete kako ćete izbušiti 66.000 rupa u njoj --

we had quite a time.

dobro smo se zabavljali.

There was one person in the contractors who was the right size --

Postojala je jedna osoba među fizičkim radnicima koja je bila prave veličine --

and it wasn't a child --

i nije bila dijete --

who could fit between them

koja je mogla stati između njih

for the final waterproofing of the building.

a koja je privela kraju proces postajanja zgrade vodootpornom.

JC: Thank you, Thomas.

JC: Hvala ti, Thomase.
