Mitchell Joachim: Don't build your home, grow it!

Translator: Matej Divjak Reviewer: Klavdija Cernilogar

Why grow homes? Because we can.

Zakaj gojiti domove? Ker jih lahko.

Right now, America is in an unremitting state of trauma.

Trenutno je Amerika v neprestani travmi

And there's a cause for that, all right.

in za to obstaja dober razlog.

We've got McPeople, McCars, McHouses.

Imamo McLjudi, McAvte, McHiše.

As an architect, I have to confront something like this.

Kot arhitekt se moram s tem spopasti.

So what's a technology that will allow us

Kaj je torej tehnologija, ki nam bo omogočila,

to make ginormous houses?

da naredimo gromozanske hiše?

Well, it's been around for 2,500 years.

No, obstaja že 2.500 let.

It's called pleaching, or grafting trees together,

Reče se ji prepletanje ali cepljenje dreves,

or grafting inosculate matter into one contiguous, vascular system.

ali vcepljanje spojenih stvari v en povezan žilni sistem.

And we do something different

Mi pa delamo nekoliko drugače,

than what we did in the past;

kot smo v preteklosti.

we add kind of a modicum of intelligence to that.

Temu dodamo ščepec inteligence.

We use CNC to make scaffolding

S pomočjo CNC (računalniško vodenih strojev) naredimo ogrodje,

to train semi-epithetic matter, plants,

da bi vzgojili pol-kvalifikacijske vrste rastlin

into a specific geometry

v določeno geometrijo.

that makes a home that we call a Fab Tree Hab.

ki tvori dom, ki mu mi pravimo Fab Tree Hab (fantastično drevesno bivališče).

It fits into the environment. It is the environment.

Prilega se okolju. Je okolje.

It is the landscape, right?

Je pokrajina.

And you can have a hundred million of these homes,

In lahko imate na stotine milijonov teh domov.

and it's great because they suck carbon.

In so imenitni, ker vsrkavajo ogljik.

They're perfect.

Popolni so.

You can have 100 million families, or take things out of the suburbs,

Lahko imate 100 milijonov družin, ali pa vzamete stvari iz predmestij,

because these are homes that are a part of the environment.

ker ti domovi so del okolja.

Imagine pre-growing a village --

Predstavljajte si, da vzgojite vas --

it takes about seven to 10 years --

to traja nekje od 7 do 10 let --

and everything is green.

in vse je zeleno.

So not only do we do the veggie house,

Torej, ne samo, da delamo vege-hiše,

we also do the in-vitro meat habitat,

delamo tudi bivališča iz mesa iz epruvetke,

or homes that we're doing research on now in Brooklyn,

ali domove, ki jih trenutno raziskujemo v Brooklynu,

where, as an architecture office, we're for the first of its kind

kjer, kot arhitekturna pisarna, prva te vrste,

to put in a molecular cell biology lab

ki je vgradila laboratorij za molekularno celično biologijo

and start experimenting with regenerative medicine

in začela eksperimentirati z regenerativno medicino

and tissue engineering

in inženiringom tkiva

and start thinking about what the future would be

in začela razmišljati o tem, kakšna bo prihodnost,

if architecture and biology became one.

če arhitektura in biologija postaneta eno.

So we've been doing this for a couple of years, and that's our lab.

To torej počnemo nekaj let in to je naš laboratorij.

And what we do is we grow

In naše delo je gojenje

extracellular matrix from pigs.

izvenceličnih matric iz svinj.

We use a modified inkjet printer,

Uporabljamo prirejen brizgalni tiskalnik.

and we print geometry.

In tiskamo geometrijo.

We print geometry where we can make industrial design objects

Geometrijo tiskamo, kjer lahko delamo predmete industrijskega oblikovanja

like, you know, shoes, leather belts,

kot so, saj veste, čevlji, usnjeni pasovi,

handbags, etc.,

ročne torbice, itd.,

where no sentient creature is harmed.

pri čemer ne poškodujemo nobenega čutečega bitja.

It's victimless. It's meat from a test tube.

Je brez žrtev. Je meso iz epruvete.

So our theory is that eventually

Naša teorija je torej, da bi sčasoma

we should be doing this with homes.

to morali početi z našimi domovi.

So here is a typical stud wall,

Tu je tipična podporna stena,

an architectural construction,

arhitekturna tvorba.

and this is a section

In tu je prerez

of our proposal for a meat house,

našega predloga za hišo iz mesa,

where you can see we use fatty cells as insulation,

kjer lahko vidite, da uporabljamo maščobne celice za izolacijo,

cilia for dealing with wind loads

migetalke proti zračnemu uporu

and sphincter muscles for the doors and windows.

in mišico zapiralko za vrata in okna.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

And we know it's incredibly ugly.

In vemo, da je neverjetno grda.

It could have been an English Tudor or Spanish Colonial,

Lahko bi bil angleški tudorski ali španski kolonialni slog,

but we kind of chose this shape.

ampak smo nekako izbrali to obliko.

And there it is kind of grown, at least one particular section of it.

In tukaj je, na nek način vzgojena, vsaj določen njen del.

We had a big show in Prague,

V Pragi smo imeli veliko razstavo.

and we decided to put it in front of the cathedral

In odločili smo se, da jo postavimo pred katedralo,

so religion can confront the house of meat.

da se lahko religija sooči s hišo iz mesa.

That's why we grow homes. Thanks very much.

Zato gojimo domove. Najlepša lepa.

(Applause)
