and everything is greenzelena.

i sve je zeleno.
01:21
So not only do we do the veggieVege housekuća,
27
66000
3000
Dakle, ne samo da radimo vegetarijanske kuće,
01:24
we alsotakođer do the in-vitroin vitro meatmeso habitatstanište,

3000
također radimo in-vitro-mesno stanište,

ako arhitektura i biologija postanu jedno.
01:44
So we'veimamo been doing this for a couplepar of yearsgodina, and that's our lablaboratorija.
36
89000
3000
Dakle na tome radimo već nekoliko godina, i ovo je naš laboratorij.
01:47
And what we do is we growrasti

I ono što radimo jest da uzgajamo

Koristimo modificirani inkjet pisač.
01:53
and we printotisak geometrygeometrija.

I ispisujemo geometriju.

We printotisak geometrygeometrija where we can make industrialindustrijski designdizajn objectsobjekti

Ispisujemo geometriju gdje možemo napraviti objekte industrijskog dizajna

So our theoryteorija is that eventuallyeventualno

Dakle, naša teorija je kako bismo
02:08
we should be doing this with homeskuća.

to trebali raditi s domovima.

where you can see we use fattymasne cellsStanice as insulationizolacija,
52

And there it is kindljubazan of grownodrastao, at leastnajmanje one particularposebno sectionodjeljak of it.

61
145000
2000
I odlučili smo staviti to ispred katedrale
02:42
so religionreligija can confrontsuočiti the housekuća of meatmeso.
62
147000
3000
kako bi se religija mogla konfrotirati s kućom od mesa.
02:45
That's why we growrasti homeskuća. ThanksHvala very much.

Zato mi uzgajamo kuće. Hvala vam puno.
