建築師安娜海林傑說：「大自然免費提供了許多的資源，我們只需對這些資源有足夠的敏感度及足夠的創意來使用它們。」海林傑用低科技材料，如泥巴及竹子，來打造建築物，她的成品從中國到瑞士到孟加拉共和國都有。隨著這場愉悅的演說，一同來造訪一間令人讚嘆的學校、一間優雅的辦公室，以及舒適的社交空間──它們都是用天然材料建造的。

那並不是個失誤。
00:33
It was totally on purpose.

我完全是故意的。
00:37
The challenge was to build our own shelter
with whatever we could find.

當時很冷，情況非常艱困…
00:47
and it was a great learning experience

那是一次很棒的學習經驗，
00:49
to discover that there are a lot
of resources given by nature for free,

was that the most sustainable strategy

In terms of suitable building
materials for my school,

用當地適當的建材來蓋我的學校，
01:46
I didn't have to look far.
26
94764
1428
不需要捨近求遠。
01:48
They were right under my feet:
27
96718
1855
它們就在我腳下：
01:51
mud, earth, dirt, clay,
however you call it ...
however you call it ...
28
99732
3855
泥巴、泥土、土壤，看你怎麼稱呼它…
01:56
and bamboo that was growing all around.
29
104788

還有長滿地的竹子。
02:01
Electricity in remote Bangladesh is rare,

孟加拉共和國的偏遠地區，
「電力」很稀有，
「電力」很稀有，
02:05
but we didn't need it.
31
113559
1206
但我們並不需要。
02:06
We had human energy
32
114789
1599
我們有「人力」，
02:08
and the people were happy
to have the work.
to have the work.
33
116412
2198
人們都開心地做著這工作。
02:12
Tools were an issue, too,
34
120188
1939
工具也是個問題，
02:14
but we had these guys,
35
122151
1563
但我們有這些伙伴，
02:15
water buffalos.
36
123738
1428
水牛。
02:18
We had also tried a bit cows,
37
126730
2136
我們也試過用乳牛，
02:20
but interestingly,
they were too intelligent.
they were too intelligent.
38
128890
2579
但有趣的是，牠們太聰明。
02:24
They were always stepping
in the holes of the previous round.
in the holes of the previous round.
39
132010
2896
牠們老是去踩上一圈走過的洞。
02:26
They wouldn't mix the mud, the straw --
40
134930
1858
牠們不願意混合泥巴、稻草…
02:28
(Laughter)

（笑聲）
02:29
the sand, which are
the ingredients in the walls.

and my basket-weaver cousin, Emmanuel,

以及我那位織籃子的表兄伊曼紐爾，
02:41
it was all built by craftsmen
from the village.

02:56
Load-bearing earth walls
that really ground the school,

51
164097
4105
承重用的泥土牆
強化了學校的結構基礎，

and large bamboo structures
that bring the lightness in.

52
168226
3594
大型的竹子結構讓重量變得很輕。
03:05
That's the classroom on the ground floor.
53
173635
2421
這是一樓的教室。
03:09
Attached to it are the caves.
54
177072
1770
洞穴跟它接在一起。
03:11
They're for reading,
for snuggling, for solo work,
for snuggling, for solo work,
55
179763
2414
其用途是閱讀、小歇、單獨工作、
03:14
for meditation, for playing ...
56
182201
1642
冥想、玩樂…
03:16
and the classroom on the top.
57
184891
1753
這是頂樓的教室。
03:21
The children all signed
with their names in Bengali the doors,
with their names in Bengali the doors,
58
189831
3783
孩子們都把他們的
孟加拉語名字簽在門上，

03:25
and they did not only sign,
they also helped building the school.

他們不只簽名，還協助建立學校。
03:30
And I'm sure you all had your hands
in mud or clay before.
in mud or clay before.
60
198207
2902
我相信各位都曾把手
放到泥巴或泥土中過。
放到泥巴或泥土中過。
03:33
It's wonderful to touch. I love it.
61
201133
1813
我很愛那種美好的觸感。
03:34
The children loved it.
62
202970
1340
孩子們也很愛。
03:36
And can you imagine the feeling
of a small boy or a girl
of a small boy or a girl
63
204894
4855
各位能否想像，當這些小男生、
小女孩、未受過教育的零工們，
小女孩、未受過教育的零工們，
03:41
or an illiterate day laborer standing
in front of that school building
in front of that school building
64
209773
3929
當他們站在這棟建築物前面時，
心中理解，這間學校是靠普通的竹子、
03:45
and knowing that you built this
65
213726
1541
03:47
out of the ordinary bamboo
and just the dirt underneath your feet,
and just the dirt underneath your feet,
66
215291
3594
腳下的泥巴和我自己的雙手
03:50
using nothing but your hands?
67
218909
2646
從無到有，所建立起來的那份感動？
03:55
That gives such an enormous boost
of trust and confidence
of trust and confidence
68
223561
5677
那會大大提升你對
你自己以及這個社區
你自己以及這個社區
的信任和信心。
04:01
in yourself and the community.
69
229262
2016
04:04
And in the material.
70
232810
1484
還有對材料運用的自信。
04:07
Especially mud has a very poor image.
71
235348
2869
特別是我們對泥巴的印象
非常糟糕。
非常糟糕。
04:10
When we think of mud, we think of dirt --
72
238241
3104
當我們想到泥巴時，
我們會想到汙物──
我們會想到汙物──
04:13
it's ugly, it's nondurable --
73
241369
2214
它很醜陋，它不耐久──
04:15
and this is the image I want to change.
74
243607
2531
我想要改變我們對泥巴的印象。
04:19
In fact, it's the 11th rainy season
for this school now,
for this school now,
75
247159
3747
事實上，這間學校現在已經
經歷了第十一個雨季了，
經歷了第十一個雨季了，
04:22
really harsh, horizontal monsoon rains,
76
250930
3254
非常嚴酷的強烈季風雨，
04:26
and the walls are standing strong.
77
254208
2547
而牆壁現在依舊穩固地屹立著。
04:29
(Applause)
78
257131
4509
（掌聲）
04:33
So how does it work?
79
261664
1342
所以是怎麼做到的？
04:35
First rule, a good foundation
that keeps the wall dry from the ground,
that keeps the wall dry from the ground,
80
263030
4156
規則一，要有好的地基來讓
牆壁保持乾燥不受地面影響，
牆壁保持乾燥不受地面影響，
04:39
and second rule, a good roof
that protects from the top,
that protects from the top,
81
267210
3696
規則二，有要好的屋頂，
從上方做保護，
從上方做保護，
04:42
and third rule, erosion control.
82
270930
2510
規則三，侵蝕控制。
04:46
Mud walls need speed breakers
83
274193
2286
泥巴牆需要有減速的凸障，
04:48
so that the rainwater
cannot run down the wall fast,
cannot run down the wall fast,
84
276503
4208
這樣雨水才不會快速地
延牆壁流下，
延牆壁流下，
04:52
and these speed breakers
could be lines of bamboo
could be lines of bamboo
85
280735
3282
可以用成排的竹子
來做這些減速凸障，
來做這些減速凸障，
04:56
or stones or straw mixed into the mud,
86
284041
3581
或是把石頭或稻草混合到泥巴當中，
04:59
just like a hill needs trees or rocks
in order to prevent erosion.
in order to prevent erosion.
87
287646
5261
就像山丘需要有樹木
或石頭才能避免侵蝕。
或石頭才能避免侵蝕。
05:04
It works just the same way.
88
292931
1373
道理是一樣的。
05:07
And people always ask me
if I have to add cement to the mud,
if I have to add cement to the mud,
89
295340
4033
人們總會問我，
我是否有在泥巴中加水泥，
我是否有在泥巴中加水泥，
05:11
and the answer is no.
90
299397
1475
答案是：沒有。
05:13
There is no stabilizer,
no coating on these walls,
no coating on these walls,
91
301311
3739
這些牆壁沒有穩定劑、沒有塗層，
05:17
only in the foundation.
92
305074
1324
只有地基才有。
05:20
So this is the close-up of the wall
93
308294
1818
這是牆壁的近距離照片，
05:22
after 10 rainy seasons,
94
310136
3460
在十個雨季之後，
05:25
and as much as I grew a bit older,
95
313620
2440
就像我變老了一樣，
05:28
the wall got some wrinkles as well.
96
316084
1722
牆上也有了皺紋。
05:29
The edges my not be as sharp as before,
97
317830
2167
牆角可能沒有像以前那麼筆直，
05:32
but it still looks pretty good,
98
320021
2152
但看起來狀況還不錯，
05:34
and if it needs repairing,
99
322197
1730
如果它需要維修，
05:35
it is really easy to do.
100
323951
1991
也非常容易辦到。
05:37
You just take the broken part,
101
325966
1743
只要針對壞掉的部份，
05:39
make it wet, and put it back on the wall,
102
327733
2738
把它弄濕，再補土回牆壁上即可，
05:42
and it will look the same as before.
103
330495
2023
它就會看起來跟以前一樣了。
05:44
Wish that would work on me, too.
104
332542
1543
真希望我也可以這樣。
05:46
(Laughter)
105
334109
3301
（笑聲）
05:50
Yeah, and the great thing is,
106
338685
2156
而很棒的一點是，
05:52
if an earth wall is not needed anymore,
107
340865
2421
如果不再需要泥土牆了，
05:55
it can go back to the ground it came from,
108
343310
3241
它就可以回到它所屬的地方：地上，
05:58
turn into a garden,
109
346575
1908
轉變成一個花園，
06:00
or get fully recycled
without any loss of quality.
without any loss of quality.
110
348507
3523
或是可以完全回收使用，
品質不受任何影響。
品質不受任何影響。
06:04
There's no other material
that can do this,
that can do this,
111
352607
2091
沒有其他材料能做到這點，
06:06
and this is why mud is so excellent
in terms of environmental performance.
in terms of environmental performance.
112
354722
4325
那就是為什麼泥巴的
環保表現能如此出色。
環保表現能如此出色。
06:12
What about the economic sustainability?
113
360421
2135
那麼經濟永續性又如何呢？
06:15
When we built the school,
114
363252
1266
當我們建造這間學校時，
06:16
I practically lived
on the construction site,
on the construction site,
115
364542
2377
我可以說是住在工地裡，
06:18
and in the evening, I used to go
with the workers to the market,
with the workers to the market,
116
366943
3024
晚上，我會和工人一起去市場，
06:21
and I could see
how they spent their money.
how they spent their money.
117
369991
2076
我可以看到他們如何花錢。
06:24
And they would buy
the vegetables from their neighbors,
the vegetables from their neighbors,
118
372984
3300
他們會向鄰居買蔬菜，
06:28
they would get a new haircut
or a new blouse from the tailor.
or a new blouse from the tailor.
119
376308
3285
他們會去剪個新髮型
或是向裁縫師買件新上衣。
或是向裁縫師買件新上衣。
06:32
And because the main part
of the building budget
of the building budget
120
380858
3858
因為建設預算的主要部份
06:36
was spent on craftsmanship,
121
384740
2145
都花在工匠師傅的手藝上，
06:38
the school wasn't just a building,
122
386909
2432
這間學校不只是一棟建築，
06:41
it became a real catalyst
for local development,
for local development,
123
389365
4164
它更是當地發展的催化劑，
06:45
and that made me happy.
124
393553
1500
那讓我很開心。
06:48
If I had designed the school
in cement and steel,
in cement and steel,
125
396989
2398
如果我用水泥和鋼鐵
來設計這間學校，
來設計這間學校，
06:51
this money would have been exported
and lost for those families.
and lost for those families.
126
399411
3603
這筆錢就會被出口，
那些家庭就無法受惠。
那些家庭就無法受惠。
06:56
(Applause)
127
404514
4174
（掌聲）
07:01
The building budget at that time
was 35,000 euros --
was 35,000 euros --
128
409935
3571
當時的建築預算是 35,000 歐元，
07:05
it's probably doubled by now --
129
413530
1961
現在大概要兩倍的價錢，
07:07
and this is a lot of money
for that region,
for that region,
130
415515
3088
對那個區域來說，這是筆很大的錢，
07:10
and especially because this money
is working within the community
is working within the community
131
418627
4005
特別是，這筆錢留在社區中，
07:14
and rotating fast,
132
422656
1278
快速流轉，
07:15
and not on the stock market.
133
423958
1682
而不是流入股票市場。
07:18
So when it comes to the economic
sustainability of my project,
sustainability of my project,
134
426402
4857
所以每當我談到專案的經濟永續性，
07:23
my main question is, who gets the profit?
135
431283
3246
我主要的問題會先問：誰獲利？
07:28
How many of you in here
136
436949
2017
在座各位有多少人
07:30
have some experience
living in a mud house?
living in a mud house?
137
438990
2182
有住過泥巴房子？
07:33
Chris Anderson, where is your hand?
138
441514
2037
克里斯安德森，你該舉個手吧？
07:35
(Laughter)
139
443575
1057
（笑聲）
07:36
You? OK.
140
444656
1174
你有？好。
07:39
Yeah.
141
447139
1151
是啊。
07:40
It seems totally out of our focus,
142
448314
3165
我們大概不在乎這個，
07:43
but approximately three billion people
all around the planet
all around the planet
143
451503
4634
但地球上大約有三十億人
07:48
are living in earth houses,
144
456161
2483
都住在泥土房中，
07:50
and it is a traditional building material
145
458668
2286
它是種傳統的建築材料，
07:52
in Europe just as much as in Africa.
146
460978
2713
不僅在非洲，在歐洲也差不多如此。
07:58
Strangely enough,
147
466076
1541
非常奇怪的是，
07:59
mud is not considered worthy
of being studied at universities ...
of being studied at universities ...
148
467641
3665
在大學中，泥巴並不被
認為是值得研究的。
認為是值得研究的。
08:04
so I brought the dirt to Harvard,
149
472281
3198
所以，我把泥巴拿去哈佛，
08:07
(Laughter)
150
475503
2207
（笑聲）
08:09
precisely 60 tons of dirt
right in front of the main facade
right in front of the main facade
151
477734
3976
精確地說，是把 60 噸的泥巴，
通通都放在設計研究所的正前方。
08:13
of the Graduate School of Design.
152
481734
1602
08:17
Students and faculty
rolled up their sleeves,
rolled up their sleeves,
153
485478
2144
學生和教職員捲起袖子，
08:19
got their hands dirty
154
487646
1155
把手弄髒（親手去做），
08:20
and transformed the front
into a warm place for people to gather.
into a warm place for people to gather.
155
488825
3399
把前面區域轉變成
讓人們聚聚的溫暖地方。
讓人們聚聚的溫暖地方。
08:25
Children would climb the structures,
156
493248
1716
孩子可以攀爬構造體，
08:26
skaters would ride the ramp,
157
494988
1517
玩滑板車的人可以使用斜坡滑板，
08:28
students having lunch breaks,
158
496529
1746
學生在這裡吃中餐，
08:30
and it was particularly fascinating to see
how many people were touching the wall,
how many people were touching the wall,
159
498299
4072
特別棒的是，你可以看到
很多人在觸碰牆面，
很多人在觸碰牆面，
08:34
and we usually don't go around cities
caressing our facades, right?
caressing our facades, right?
160
502395
3853
我們通常不會在城市裡
到處撫摸建築物外牆，對吧？
到處撫摸建築物外牆，對吧？
08:38
(Laughter)
161
506272
1861
（笑聲）
08:44
(Laughter)
162
512366
2647
（笑聲）
08:48
Of course, this was a small-scale project,
163
516603
2007
當然，這是個小規模的專案，
08:50
but in terms of awareness-building
and in terms of education,
and in terms of education,
164
518634
3096
但就建材認知層面及教育層面來說，
08:53
it was like an acupuncture trigger point.
165
521754
2530
它就像是針灸的激痛點。
08:57
And in fact, in more and more countries,
166
525701
3580
事實上，在越來越多的國家中，
09:01
load-bearing earthen structures
are not allowed to be built anymore
are not allowed to be built anymore
167
529305
4985
已經不再允許用泥土作為承重結構了，
09:06
although they're traditional
and have lasted for hundreds of years,
and have lasted for hundreds of years,
168
534314
3502
雖然它們是傳統做法
且已經被用了數百年，
且已經被用了數百年，
09:09
and not because the material is weak,
169
537840
2016
並非因為這種材料太脆弱，
09:11
but because there are
no architects and engineers
no architects and engineers
170
539880
3152
而是因為沒有建築師和工程師
09:15
who know how to deal with that material.
171
543056
2436
知道要如何處理這種材料了。
09:17
So education on all levels,
172
545516
1674
所以在各層級上的教育，
09:19
for craftsmen, engineers and architects,
173
547214
2676
對工匠、工程師、建築師的教育，
09:21
is really strongly needed.
174
549914
1767
是非常必要的。
09:24
Equally important
is technological development,
is technological development,
175
552085
3344
技術的發展也是同等重要，
09:27
like prefabrication developed
by my colleague Martin Rauch,
by my colleague Martin Rauch,
176
555453
3093
像是我同事馬丁拉奇的預鑄工法，
09:30
who is an Austrian artist
and expert in earthen structures.
and expert in earthen structures.
177
558570
3986
他是澳洲的藝術家和泥土結構專家。
09:34
And he has created technologies
for rammed earth elements,
for rammed earth elements,
178
562580
3610
他創造了夯土技術、
09:38
for prefabrication
of rammed earth elements
of rammed earth elements
179
566214
2433
土壤的預鑄工法，
09:40
that include insulation,
wall heatings and coolings
wall heatings and coolings
180
568671
3761
讓牆體有隔熱、保溫與散熱的功能，
09:44
and all sorts of electrical fittings
181
572456
1801
以及各類預埋的電路配管，
09:46
that can be layered
to multistoried buildings,
to multistoried buildings,
182
574281
2293
這些都可以運用在多層建築上，
09:48
and this is important in order to scale up
183
576598
2677
這些對放大建築規模、
09:51
and in order to fasten up the processes,
184
579299
1968
加速建築流程是很重要的，
09:53
like in the Ricola Herb Center
in Switzerland.
in Switzerland.
185
581291
3300
就像在瑞士的利口樂香草中心。
09:58
And finally, we need good built projects
186
586555
3128
最後，我們需要好的建築專案，
10:01
that prove you can build
with an ancient material
with an ancient material
187
589707
3095
來證明我們能將古老的材料
10:04
in a very modern way.
188
592826
1868
運用在現代建築上。
10:07
It is not a matter
of how old a material is;
of how old a material is;
189
595434
3694
重點不在材料有多古老；
10:11
it's a matter of our creative
ability to use it today.
ability to use it today.
190
599152
3481
而是我們現今運用
這些建材的創意能力。
這些建材的創意能力。
10:16
These, for example, are three hostels
191
604936
2255
比如，這三間旅館，
10:19
that I did in China in the village Baoxi,
192
607215
2347
是我在中國的寶溪村做的，
10:21
about six hours by bus from Shanghai.
193
609586
2786
從上海搭公車過去大約要六小時。
10:25
The outside shape is woven bamboo,
194
613859
2691
外牆是用竹子編的，
10:28
and the inside core
is stones and rammed earth.
is stones and rammed earth.
195
616574
3563
內在的核心是石頭和夯土。
10:33
And it is a traditional building material.
196
621058
2456
竹子是一種傳統建材。
10:35
Even large parts
of the Great Wall of China
of the Great Wall of China
197
623538
2193
甚至中國長城都有很大部份
10:37
have been built with rammed earth,
198
625755
1645
是用夯土做的，
10:39
but it's getting replaced by concrete.
199
627424
2293
但它們後來被混凝土取代。
10:42
And this trend is happening very fast.
200
630411
3474
這個趨勢發展很快。
10:45
Within only a couple of years,
201
633909
2976
僅在幾年內，
10:48
China has consumed more cement
than the United States
than the United States
202
636909
2993
中國消耗的水泥量
已經超越了美國在二十世紀的總量。
10:51
in the entire 20th century.
203
639926
2236
10:54
And this trend of replacing
natural building materials
natural building materials
204
642618
3509
這個取代天然建材的趨勢
10:58
with materials that require
a lot of energy,
a lot of energy,
205
646151
2253
需要消耗許多能量的材料、
11:00
that are energy-intensive,
206
648428
1786
能量密集的材料、
11:02
and that emit CO2
207
650238
2041
排放二氧化碳的材料，
11:04
is really clearly contributing
to climate change.
to climate change.
208
652303
3340
很顯然會造成氣候改變。
11:07
And we have alternatives,
209
655667
1413
我們有替代方案，
11:09
such as mud, stones, timber,
bamboo, earth,
bamboo, earth,
210
657104
4251
比如泥巴、石頭、木材、竹子、泥土，
11:13
that are totally effective options
for all sorts of purposes.
for all sorts of purposes.
211
661379
3888
都是很有效益的選擇，
各種目的皆可使用。
各種目的皆可使用。
11:17
This, for example,
is an office building that we did
is an office building that we did
212
665926
2547
比如，我們為澳洲歐米克朗電子儀器
11:20
for Omicron Electronics in Austria.
213
668497
2381
建造了一棟辦公室大樓。
11:22
Mud is healthy for the planet,
but also for the human bodies,
but also for the human bodies,
214
670902
2897
對地球以及對人體來說，
泥巴都是健康的，
泥巴都是健康的，
11:25
and the material is low-tech,
215
673823
2642
材料是低科技的，
11:28
but the performance is high-tech.
216
676489
2223
但成效卻是高科技的。
11:30
The earth walls keep the highly
sophisticated tools in the building safe
sophisticated tools in the building safe
217
678736
4079
泥土牆能以天然方式調節濕度，
讓放在建築物內的
高度精密工具都很安全。
高度精密工具都很安全。
11:34
by naturally regulating moisture.
218
682839
1911
11:37
And this wall in my own home
219
685590
3512
這是我自己家中的牆，
11:41
is our humidfier.
220
689126
1428
是我們的加濕器。
11:44
We love our six tons of dirt at home
221
692372
2930
我們很愛家裡的六噸泥巴，
11:47
not only because
it's healthy and sustainable.
it's healthy and sustainable.
222
695326
2490
不僅是因為它很健康且永續，
11:50
Its archaic warmth
is touching deep within.
is touching deep within.
223
698397
3056
它的古式溫暖能深深觸及內心。
11:54
My personal dream is to build
a mud skyscraper right in Manhattan.
a mud skyscraper right in Manhattan.
224
702708
4722
我個人的夢想是要在曼哈頓
建造一棟泥巴摩天大樓。
建造一棟泥巴摩天大樓。
11:59

225
707820

1151
是啊。
12:03

711058
2199
（掌聲）
12:05
And this dream isn't so crazy
228
713281
1549
這夢想並不算瘋狂，
12:06
if you think of the mud city
of Shibam in Yemen
of Shibam in Yemen
229
714854
2192
想想葉門希巴姆的泥巴城市，
12:09
that was built in the 16th century
230
717070
1865
它是在十六世紀建造的，
12:10
and has lasted now for 500 years.
231
718959
3268
至今已有五百年。
12:15
What was possible that long ago
is possible today as well,
is possible today as well,
232
723267
4107
那麼久以前就有可能做到的事，
在現今也是可能的，
在現今也是可能的，
12:19
and we can apply
all our technical know-how
all our technical know-how
233
727398
3604
我們能把我們所有的技術知識
12:23
to these ancient materials
234
731026
2010
用到這些古老材料上，
12:25
so that it meets our needs and our dreams.
235
733060
3602
讓它們能符合我們的需求及夢想。
12:30
All around us,
236
738403
1874
在我們周圍，
12:32
and just below our feet ...
237
740301
1752
在我們腳下
12:35
are wonderful natural building materials.
238
743060
2767
是美好的天然建材。
12:37
Let's use them.
239
745851
1375
我們來運用它們。
12:40
And I deeply believe
240
748221
1916
我深深相信，
12:42
our homes, our work spaces, our cities
241
750161
2753
我們的家、我們的
工作場所、我們的城市
工作場所、我們的城市
12:45
would become more healthy and sustainable
242

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Anna Heringer - ArchitectAnna Heringer’s sustainable designs lend breathtaking forms to easily-available local materials while developing the skills and consciousness of their builders.
Why you should listen
Before she became an architect, a visit to a small village in Bangladesh immediately hooked Anna Heringer on an ancient and yet neglected building material -- earth. With its easy availability, durability and endless recyclability, she realized, there was a reason its use has persisted for thousands of years.
Since then, Heringer’s love affair with sustainable materials has deepened, resulting in acclaimed projects like woven bamboo hostels in China and the METI Handmade School in Rudrapur, where, along with local workers and schoolchildren, she created a building that drew on locally abundant materials and fostered modern, sustainable building skills in local craftsmen. In the 2014 book, The Future of Architecture, she and her coauthors argue for a future that is low-impact and adaptable.
