Bjarke Ingels: 3 warp-speed architecture tales

Prevodilac: Tanja Kostadinović Lektor: Ivana Korom

The public debate about architecture

Javna debata o arhitekturi

quite often just stays on contemplating the final result,

vrlo često ostaje samo na razmatranju konačnog rezultata,

the architectural object.

arhitektonskog objekta.

Is the latest tower in London

Da li je najnoviji soliter u Londonu

a gherkin or a sausage

krastavac ili kobasica

or a sex tool?

ili seksualno pomagalo?

So recently, we asked ourselves

Tako da smo se nedavno zapitali

if we could invent a format

da li možemo da izmislimo format

that could actually tell the stories behind the projects,

koji bi mogao da ispriča priče koje stoje iza projekata.

maybe combining images and drawings and words

Možda kombinujući slike i crteže sa rečima

to actually sort of tell stories about architecture.

možemo na neki način ispričati priče o arhitekturi.

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

I shvatili smo da ne moramo da ga izmislimo,

it already existed in the form of a comic book.

on je već postojao u formi stripa.

So we basically copied the format of the comic book

Tako da smo u osnovi preuzeli format stripa.

to actually tell the stories of behind the scenes,

Mi zapravo pričamo priče koje se odvijaju iza kulisa,

how our projects actually evolve through adaptation

kako naši projekti evoluiraju kroz adaptaciju

and improvisation.

i improvizaciju.

Sort of through the turmoil and the opportunities

Na neki način kroz neprilike i prilike

and the incidents of the real world.

i događaje u stvarnom svetu.

We call this comic book "Yes is More,"

Nazvali smo ovaj strip "'Da' je više".

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

Što je očigledno na neki način evolucija ideja nekih od naših heroja.

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

U ovom slučaju to je Mis van der Roeovo 'Manje je više'

He triggered the modernist revolution.

On je podstakao modernističku revoluciju.

After him followed the post-modern counter-revolution,

Posle njega sledila je post-modernistička kontrarevolucija.

Robert Venturi saying, "Less is a bore."

Robert Venturi koji kaže 'Manje je dosadno'.

After him, Philip Johnson sort of introduced

Posle njega, Filip Džonson je na neki način uveo

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

you could say promiscuity, or at least openness

možete reći promiskuitet, ili u najmanju ruku otvorenost

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

prema novim idejama sa 'Ja sam kurva'

Recently, Obama has introduced optimism

Nedavno je Obama uveo optimizam

at a sort of time of global financial crisis.

u vreme globalne finansijske krize.

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

A ono što mi želimo da kažemo sa ''Da' je više'

is basically trying to question this idea

je u suštini da dovedemo u pitanje tu ideju

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

da arhitektonska avangarda mora skoro uvek biti negativno definisana,

as who or what we are against.

kroz to protiv koga ili protiv čega smo.

The cliche of the radical architect

Kliše radikalnog arhitekte

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

je neka vrsta besnog mladog čoveka koji se protivi establišmentu.

Or this idea of the misunderstood genius,

Ili ideja neshvaćenog genija,

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

frustriranog jer se svet ne uklapa u njegove ili njene ideje.

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

Umesto revolucije, mi smo mnogo više zainteresovani za evoluciju.

this idea that things gradually evolve

Ova ideja da stvari postepeno evoluiraju

by adapting and improvising

improvizujući i prilagođavajući se

to the changes of the world.

promenama u svetu.

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

U suštini, mislim da je Darvin bio jedan od ljudi

who best explains our design process.

koji su najbolje objasnili naš proces projektovanja.

His famous evolutionary tree

Njegovo poznato evolutivno grananje

could almost be a diagram of the way we work.

može praktično biti dijagram našeg načina rada.

As you can see, a project evolves through

Kao što možete videti, projekat evoluira

a series of generations of design meetings.

kroz serije iteracija projektnih sastanaka.

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

Na svakom sastanku ima previše ideja.

Only the best ones can survive.

Samo najbolje mogu da prežive.

And through a process of architectural selection,

I kroz poces arhitektonske selekcije

we might choose a really beautiful model

možemo da odaberemo zaista lep model.

or we might have a very functional model.

Ili možemo dobiti veoma funkcionalan model.

We mate them. They have sort of mutant offspring.

Mi ih ukrštamo. Oni imaju mutirano potomstvo.

And through these sort of generations of design meetings

I kroz ove različite generacije projektnih sastanaka

we arrive at a design.

mi dođemo do rešenja.

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

Veoma bukvalan način prikazivanja toga je projekat koji smo radili

for a library and a hotel in Copenhagen.

za biblioteku i hotel u Kopenhagenu

The design process was really tough,

Proces projektovanja je bio veoma naporan,

almost like a struggle for survival,

skoro kao borba za opstanak.

but gradually an idea evolved:

Ali postepeno, ideja je evoluirala.

this sort of idea of a rational tower

Neka vrsta ideje o racionalnoj kuli

that melts together with the surrounding city,

koja se utapa sa gradom koji je okružuje.

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

Na neki način se javni prostor širi na ono što smo mi nazvali

a Scandinavian version of the Spanish Steps in Rome,

skandinavska verzija Španskih stepenica u Rimu.

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

Ali javno spolja, kao i iznutra,

with the library.

sa bibliotekom.

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

Ali Darvin ne bjašnjava samo evoluciju jedne ideje.

As you can see, sometimes a subspecies branches off.

Kao što vidite, nekad se podvrsta izdvoji.

And quite often we sit in a design meeting

Veoma često sedimo na projektantskim sastancima

and we discover that there is this great idea.

i otkrijemo da imamo sjajnu ideju.

It doesn't really work in this context.

Ona ne funkcioniše baš u ovom kontekstu.

But for another client in another culture,

Ali za drugog klijenta u drugoj kulturi

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

može biti pravi odgovor na jedno drugo pitanje.

So as a result, we never throw anything out.

Tako da, kao rezultat, nikad ništa ne bacamo.

We keep our office almost like an archive

Naša kancelarija je kao arhiva

of architectural biodiversity.

arhitektonskog biodiverziteta.

You never know when you might need it.

Nikad ne znate kada vam nešto može zatrebati.

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

I šta bih sada želeo da uradim,

warp-speed storytelling,

da vam ispričam brzinom svetlosti

is tell the story of how two projects evolved

priču o dva projekta koji su evoluirali

by adapting and improvising

improvizujući i adaptirajući se

to the happenstance of the world.

okolnostima u svetu.

The first story starts last year when we went to Shanghai

Prva priča počinje prošle godine kada smo otišlu u Šangaj

to do the competition for the Danish

da bi učestvovali na konkursu za danski

National Pavilion for the World Expo in 2010.

nacionalni paviljon na Svetskoj izložbi 2010.

And we saw this guy, Haibao.

I videli smo ovog tipa, Haibaa.

He's the mascot of the expo,

On je maskota svetske izložbe.

and he looks strangely familiar.

I izgleda veoma poznato.

In fact he looked like a building we had designed

U stvari, izgledao je kao zgrada koju smo projektovali

for a hotel in the north of Sweden.

za hotel na severu Švedske.

When we submitted it for the Swedish competition we thought

Kada smo predali projekat na švedskom konkursu, mislili smo

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

da je to stvarno super koncept. Ali nije baš delovao

look like something from the north of Sweden.

kao nešto sa severa Švedske.

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

Ni švedski žiri nije mislio tako. Tako da smo izgubili.

But then we had a meeting with a Chinese businessman

Ali onda smo imali sastanak sa kineskim biznismenom

who saw our design and said,

koji je video naš dizajn i rekao,

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

'' Vau, ovo je kineski znak za reč narod.''

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Ispostavilo se da se tako piše 'narod',

as in the People's Republic of China.

kao u 'Narodna Republika Kina'.

We even double checked.

Čak smo i proverili.

And at the same time, we got invited to exhibit

Istovremeno smo bili pozvani da izlažemo

at the Shanghai Creative Industry Week.

na Nedelji kreativne industrije u Šangaju.

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

Tako da smo pomislili, kako je to savršena prilika.

so we hired a feng shui master.

I angažovali smo stručnjaka za feng šui.

We scaled the building up three times to Chinese proportions,

Povećali smo zgradu tri puta prema kineskim proporcijama,

and went to China.

i otišli u Kinu.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

I tako je nastala 'Zgrada naroda', kako smo je nazvali.

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

Ovo su naša dva prevodioca, koji, u neku ruku, čitaju arhitekturu.

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

Stigla je do naslovne stranice "Ven Vei Po" novina.

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

Što je navelo gospodina Lian Ju Čena, gradonačelnika Šangaja

to visit the exhibition.

da poseti izložbu.

And we had the chance to explain the project.

I imali smo priliku da predstavimo projekat.

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

I on je rekao ''Šangaj je svetski grad

with most skyscrapers,"

sa najviše solitera.''

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

A za njega je to bilo kao da je prekinuta povezanost sa korenima.

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

A u "Zgradi Naroda" video je arhitekturu

that could bridge the gap between the ancient wisdom of China

koja je mogla da premosti jaz između drevne kineske mudrosti

and the progressive future of China.

i progresivne budućnosti Kine.

So we obviously profoundly agreed with him.

Tako da smo se mi naravno suštinski složili sa njim.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

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

Nažalost, gospodin Čen je sada u zatvoru zbog korupcije.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

But like I said, Haibao looked very familiar,

Ali kao što sam rekao, Haibao je izgeldao veoma poznato.

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

Zato što je on zapravo kineski znak za reč ''narod''.

And they chose this mascot because

I oni su odabrali ovu maskotu zbog toga

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

što je tema izložbe ''Bolji grad, bolji život''.

Sustainability.

Održivost.

And we thought, sustainability has grown into being

I mi smo pomislili kako je održivost prerasla u nešto

this sort of neo-Protestant idea

neku vrstu neo-protestantske ideje

that it has to hurt in order to do good.

da mora da boli da bi činilo dobro.

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

Znate ono, ne treba da se dugo tuširate toplom vodom.

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

Ne bi trebalo da idete na odmor avionom jer je to loše za okolinu.

Gradually, you get this idea that sustainable life

Postepeno, dobijete ideju da je održivi život

is less fun than normal life.

manje zabavan od običnog života.

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

Pa smo pomislili kako bi možda bilo zanimljivo da se fokusiramo na primere

where a sustainable city

održivog grada

actually increases the quality of life.

koji zapravo povećava kvalitet života.

We also asked ourselves, what could Denmark possibly show China

Takođe smo se zapitali šta bi Danska mogla da pokaže Kini

that would be relevant?

što bi bilo relevantno?

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

Znate da je jedna najveća država na svetu, a druga jedna od najmanjih.

China symbolized by the dragon.

Simbol Kine je zmaj.

Denmark, we have a national bird, the swan.

U Danskoj, imamo nacionalnu pticu, labuda.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

China has many great poets,

Kina ima puno velikih pesnika.

but we discovered that in the People's Republic

Ali smo otkrili da u Narodnoj Republici Kini

public school curriculum,

kao deo školske lektire,

they have three fairy tales by An Tu Sheng,

imaju tri bajke An Tu Šunga,

or Hans Christian Anderson, as we call him.

odnosno Hansa Kristijana Andersona, kako ga mi zovemo.

So that means that all 1.3 billion Chinese

To znači da je svih 1.3 milijardi Kineza

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

odraslo sa ''Carevim novim odelom'',

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

''Devojčicom sa šibicama'' i ''Malom sirenom''.

It's almost like a fragment of Danish culture

Skoro kao da je mali deo danske kulture

integrated into Chinese culture.

integrisan u kinesku kulturu.

The biggest tourist attraction in China is the Great Wall.

Najveća turistička atrakcija u Kini je Kineski zid.

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

Kineski zid je jedina građevina koja se može videti sa Meseca.

The big tourist attraction in Denmark is The Little Mermaid.

Najveća turistička atrakcija u Danskoj je Mala sirena.

That can actually hardly be seen from the canal tours.

Ona se u suštini jedva može videti iz turističkih brodova sa kanala.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

I to na neki način pokazuje razliku između ova dva grada.

Copenhagen, Shanghai,

Kopenhagen, Šangaj,

modern, European.

moderan, evropski.

But then we looked at recent urban development,

Ali onda smo obratili pažnju na savremeni urbani razvoj.

and we noticed that this is like a Shanghai street,

I primetili smo da je ovo kao ulica Šangaja

30 years ago. All bikes, no cars.

pre 30 godina. Samo bicikli, bez automobila.

This is how it looks today; all traffic jam.

Ovo je kako izgleda danas. Samo zastoji u saobrađaju.

Bicycles have become forbidden many places.

Bicikli su zabranjeni na mnogo mesta.

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

Istovremeno, mi u Kopenhagenu proširujemo biciklističke staze.

A third of all the people commute by bike.

Trećina ljudi svakodnevno putuje biciklom.

We have a free system of bicycles called the City Bike

Imamo besplatan sistem bicikala koji se zove 'Siti bajk'.

that you can borrow if you visit the city.

Koje možete da pozajmite kada ste u poseti gradu.

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

Tako da smo pomislili, zašto da ne uvedemo ponovo bicikle u Kinu?

We donate 1,000 bikes to Shanghai.

Doniramo 1000 bicikala Šangaju.

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

Tako da ako posetite izložbu, odete pravo do danskog paviljona.

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

Uzmete danski bicikl. I onda na njemu idete dalje da posetite ostale paviljone.

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

Kao što sam pomenuo, Šangaj i Kopenhagen su oboje lučki gradovi.

but in Copenhagen the water has gotten so clean

Ali u Kopenhagenu voda je postala toliko čista

that you can actually swim in it.

da se možete kupati u njoj.

One of the first projects we ever did

Jedan od naših prvih projekata

was the harbor bath in Copenhagen,

je bilo lučko kupalište u Kopenhagenu.

sort of continuing the public realm into the water.

Na neki način proširenje javnog prostora na vodu.

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

Tako da smo pomislili da ove izložbe često imaju puno

state financed propaganda,

propagande finansirane od strane države,

images, statements, but no real experience.

slika, slogana, ali bez pravog iskustva.

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

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

You can try it.

Već možete sami probati.

Like with the water, instead of talking about it,

Kao i sa vodom, umesto da pričamo o njoj

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

dopremićemo milion 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 imali dovoljno hrabrosti mogu da zarone

and feel how clean it is.

i osete koliko je čista.

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

Uglavnom zbog ovoga, mnogi prigovaraju da to ne zvuči veoma održivo

to sail water from Copenhagen to China.

da se voda dopremi iz Kopenhagena u Kinu.

But in fact, the container ships go

Ali u suštini, teretni brodovi plove

full of goods from China to Denmark,

puni robe od Kine ka Danskoj.

and then they sail empty back.

I onda plove prazni nazad.

So quite often you load water for ballast.

Tako da često natovare vodu kao balast.

So we can actually hitch a ride for free.

Tako da možemo da dobijemo besplatan prevoz.

And in the middle of this sort of harbor bath,

I u sredini ovog lučkog kupališta

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

stavićemo pravu Malu Sirenu.

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

Prava Sirena, u pravoj vodi, sa pravim biciklima.

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

A dok ona ne bude bila tu, pozvaćemo

a Chinese artist to reinterpret her.

kineskog umetnika da je reinterpretira.

The architecture of the pavilion is this sort of loop

Arhitektura paviljona je vrsta spirale

of exhibition and bikes.

koju čine izložba i bicikli.

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

Kada dođete do izložbe, videđete Sirenu i bazen.

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

Prošetaćete unaokolo, i probađete da pronađete bicikl na krovu,

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

popeti se na njega, i nastaviti sa obilaskom ostatka izložbe.

So when we actually won the competition

Tako da kad smo zaista pobeili na konkursu

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

morali smo da napraivmo izložbu u Kini da predstavimo svoj projekat.

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.

sa ispavkama od strane kineske državne cenzure.

The first thing, the China map missed Taiwan.

Prva zamerka, mapa Kine nije prikazivala Tajvan.

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

To je veoma ozbiljno političko pitanje u Kini. Dodaćemo je.

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

Druga stvar, uporedili smo labuda sa zmajem.

and then the Chinese state said,

A kineska vlast je rekla:

"Suggest change to panda."

''Predlažemo promenu u pandu.''

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

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

Kada je obelodanjeno u Danskoj da ćemo mi zaista

move our national monument,

da izmestimo naš nacionalni spomenik,

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

Nacionalna Narodna Stranka je protestovala.

They tried to pass a law against moving the Mermaid.

Pokušali su da proguraju zakon koji zabranjuje premeštanje Sirene.

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

Tako sam po prvi put bio pozvan da govorim pred Nacionalnim Parlamentom.

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

To je bilo veoma interesantno jer je ujutru od devet do jedanaest

they were discussing the bailout package --

raspravljano o paketu mera za oporavak ekonomije

how many billions to invest in saving the Danish economy.

i koliko milijardi treba investirati da bi se ona spasila.

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

I onda su u 11 časova prestali da diskutuju o tim trivijalnim pitanjima.

And then from 11 to 1,

i od jedanaest do jedan

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

raspravljali su da li da se Sirena šalje u Kinu.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

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

Ali da zaključimo, ukoliko želite da vidite Sirenu između maja i decembra

next year, don't come to Copenhagen,

iduće godine, nemojte dolaziti u Kopenhagen.

because she's going to be in Shanghai.

Jer će ona biti u Šangaju.

If you do come to Copenhagen,

Ako ipak dođete u Kopenhagen

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

verovatno ćete videti instalaciju Aj Vejveja, kineskog umetnika.

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

Ali ako kineska vlada bude intervenisala, možda to bude čak i panda.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

So the second story that I'd like to tell

Druga priča koju bih voleo da vam ispričam

is, actually starts in my own house.

je, u stvari počinje u mojoj sopstvenoj kući.

This is my apartment.

Ovo je moj stan.

This is the view from my apartment,

Ovo je pogled iz moga stana.

over the sort of landscape of triangular balconies

Preko neke vrste reljefa od trouglastih terasa.

that our client called the Leonardo DiCaprio balcony.

koje je naš klijent nazvao 'Leonardo di Kaprio balkoni'.

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

Gde, po sunčanom danu, možete upoznati sve svoje susede

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 dekonstruisanog pravougaonog bloka.

Trying to zigzag it to make sure

On je isečen u cik-cak kako bi se osiguralo

that all of the apartments look at the straight views,

da svi stanovi imaju direktan pogled na okruženje

instead of into each other.

a ne jedni na druge.

Until recently, this was the view from my apartment,

Donedavno, ovo je bio pogled iz mog stana.

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

Dok naš klijent nije kupio susednu parcelu.

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

I rekao da hoće da izgradi stambeni blok

next to a parking structure.

i veliki parking.

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

A mi smo pomislili, zašto ne bi, umesto tradicionalnog bloka stanova,

looking straight into a big boring block of cars,

koji gledaju pravo na veliki dosadni parking,

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

zašto ne bi pretvorili sve stanove u potkrovlja,

put them on a podium of cars.

i stavili ih na podijum od automobila.

And because Copenhagen is completely flat,

I pošto je Kopenhagen potpuno ravan,

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

ako hoćete lepu južnu padinu sa pogledom,

you basically have to do it yourself.

morate sami da je napravite.

Then we sort of cut up the volume,

Onda smo nekako isekli volumen,

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

kako ne bi blokirali pogled iz mog stana.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And essentially the parking is sort of occupying the deep space

I 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 kombinuju sve prednosti života na periferiji,

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

kao što su kuća sa baštom sa 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 snimak iz vazduha snimljen prošlog leta.

And essentially, the apartments cover the parking.

I u suštini, stanovi pokrivaju parking.

They are accessed through this diagonal elevator.

Njima se prilazi preko dijagonalnog lifta.

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

Koji je zapravo standardni proizvod u Švajcarskoj.

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

Jer u Švajcarskoj imaju prirodnu potrebu za dijagonalnim liftovima.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And the facade of the parking,

A fasadu parkinga

we wanted to make the parking naturally ventilated,

smo hteli da učinimo prirodno ventilirajućom.

so we needed to perforate it.

Tako da smo morali da je perforiramo.

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

I otkirli smo da kontrolisanjem dimenzija otvora

we could actually turn the entire facade

možemo pretvoriti celu fasadu

into a gigantic, naturally ventilated,

u ogromnu, prirodno ventiliranu

rasterized image.

rasterizovanu sliku

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

i, obzirom da smo od samog starta projekat nazvali 'Planina',

we commissioned this Japanese Himalaya photographer

angažovali smo japanskog fotografa Himalaja

to give us this beautiful photo of Mount Everest,

koji nam je dao ovu prelepu fotografiju Maunt Everesta,

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

koja je celu zgradu pretvorila u umetničko delo od 3,000 kvardatnih metara.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

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

Tako da ako se vratite na parking, u hodnike,

it's almost like traveling into a parallel universe

to je kao da putujete iz paralelnog sveta

from cars and colors,

sačinjenog od automobila i boja,

into this sort of south-facing urban oasis.

u neku vrstu urbane oaze okrenute prema jugu.

The wood of your apartment continues outside becoming the facades.

Drvo se iz vašeg stana produžava napolje, postajući fasada.

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

A ako gledate još dalje, pretvara se u zelenu baštu.

And all the rainwater that drops on the Mountain

I sva voda koja padne na "Planinu"

is actually accumulated.

se akumulira.

And there is an automatic irrigation system

I postoji automatizovani sistem navodnjavanja

that makes sure that this sort of landscape of gardens,

koji osigurava da će se ovaj predeo od bašti

in one or two years it will sort of transform

za godinu ili dve tranformisati

into a Cambodian temple ruin,

u ostatke kambodžanskog hrama,

completely covered in green.

potpuno pokrivene zelenilom.

So, the Mountain is like our first built example

Tako da je "Planina", naš prvi izgrađeni primer

of what we like to refer to as architectural alchemy.

nečega što mi želimo da zovemo arhitektonska alhemija.

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

Ideja da možete zaista napraviti, ako ne zlato

then at least added value by mixing

onda bar nešto bolje mešajući

traditional ingredients, like normal apartments

tradicionalne sastojke, kao što su normalni stanovi

and normal parking,

i normalan parking,

and in this case actually offer people

i, u ovom slučaju, ponuditi ljudima

the chance that they don't have to choose between

priliku da ne moraju da biraju između

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

života sa baštom i života u gradu.

They can actually have both.

Mogu imati i jedno i drugo.

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

Arhitekti je veoma teško da napravi čvrst plan.

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

Ne možete samo reći da želite da napravite održivi grad

in central Asia,

u centralnoj Aziji.

because that's not really how you get commissions.

Jer zapravo ne dobijate tako poslove.

You always have to sort of adapt and improvise

Morate se uvek prilagođavati i improvizovati

to the opportunities and accidents that happen,

prema prilikama i slučajnostima na koje ćete naići,

and the sort of turmoil of the world.

i konstantnim promenama u svetu.

One last example is that recently we,

Jedan poslednji primer

like last summer, we won the competition

je skorašnji konkurs na kome smo pobedili prošlog leta

to design a Nordic national bank.

za projekat nordijske nacionalne banke.

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

Ovo je bio direktor banke dok se još smešio.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Bila je u centru glavnog grada, tako da smo bili veoma uzbuđeni.

Unfortunately, it was the national bank of Iceland.

Nazalost, to je bila nacionalna banka Islanda.

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

U to vreme smo imali posetu

a minister from Azerbaijan came to our office.

ministar iz Azerbejdžana je došao u našu kancelariju.

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

Odveli smo ga da vidi "Planinu". I on je bio veoma ushićen

by this idea that you could actually make mountains

idejom da možete zaista praviti planine

out of architecture,

arhitekturom.

because Azerbaijan is known as the Alps of Central Asia.

Jer je Azerbejdžan poznat kao Alpi Centralne Azije.

So he asked us if we could actually imagine

Tako da nas je pitao možemo li da zamislimo

an urban master plan

urbanistički plan

on an island outside the capital

na ostrvu izvan glavnog grada

that would recreate the silhouette of the seven most significant mountains

koji bi oponašao siluetu sedam najvažnijih planina

of Azerbaijan.

Azerbejdžana.

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 jedan mali film koji bih voleo da vam prikažem.

We quite often make little movies.

Mi često pravimo male filmove.

We always argue a lot about the soundtrack,

I uvek se svađamo oko muzike.

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

Ali u ovom slučaju je bilo veoma jednostavno odabrati pesmu.

So basically, Baku is this sort of crescent bay

Baku je u sustini zaliv u obliku polumeseca

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

koji gleda na ostrvo Zira, ostrvo koje je predmet našeg plana.

almost like the diagram of their flag.

Skoro 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 semplujemo sedam najvažnijih planina

of the topography of Azerbaijan

topografije Azerbejdžana.

and reinterpret them into urban and architectural structures,

I reinpretiramo ih u urbanim i arhitektonskim strukturama,

inhabitable of human life.

koje naseljavaju ljudi.

Then we place these mountains on the island,

Onda ćemo postaviti ove planine na ostrvo,

surrounding this sort of central green valley,

tako da okružuju ovu nekakvu centralnu zelenu dolinu.

almost like a central park.

Skoro kao Central park.

And what makes it interesting is that the island right now

I ono što celu stvar čini zanimljivom je da je ovo ostrvo trenutno

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

samo pustinja. Nema vegetacije.

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 mi zapravo celo ostrvo dizajnirali kao jedinstveni ekosistem,

exploiting wind energy to drive the desalination plants,

koristeći energiju vetra za pokretanje postrojenja za desalinizaciju,

and to use the thermal properties of water

i termičke karakteristike vode

to heat and cool the buildings.

za grejanje i hlađenje objekata.

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 pretvarajući pustinjsko ostrvo

into sort of a green, lush landscape.

u zeleni, bujni pejzaž.

So, you can say where an urban development

Tako da možete reći da urbani razvoj

normally happens at the expense of nature,

do koga obično dolazi na račun prirode,

in this case it's actually creating nature.

u ovom slučaju zapravo stvara prirodu.

And the buildings, they don't only sort of

I zgrade, one ne samo da

invoke the imagery of the mountains,

evociraju oblike planina.

they also operate like mountains.

One takođe i funkcionišu kao planine.

They create shelter from the wind.

One prave zavetrinu.

They accumulate the solar energy.

One akumuliraju solarnu energiju.

They accumulate the water.

One akumuliraju vodu.

So they actually transform the entire island

Tako da one zapravo transformišu celo ostrvo

into a single ecosystem.

u jedinstveni ekosistem.

So we recently presented the master plan,

Tako da smo nedavno prezentovali urbanistički plan.

and it has gotten approved.

I bio je odobren.

And this summer we are starting the construction documents

I ovog leta pocinjemo sa izradom izvođačkog projekta

of the two first mountains,

za prve dve planine,

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

na nečemu što će biti prvo ostrvo bez prekomerne emisije ugljenikovih okdsida

in Central Asia.

u Centralnoj Aziji.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

Yes, maybe just to round off.

Da, možda da zaokružimo.

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

Na neki način možete videti kako je "Planina" u Kopenhagenu

sort of evolved into the Seven Peaks of Azerbaijan.

na neki način evoluirala u "Sedam Vrhova" u Azerbejdžanu.

With a little luck and some more evolution,

Sa malo sreće i malo više evolucije

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

možda će za 10 godina to biti "Pet Planina" na Marsu.

Thank you.

Hvala Vam.
