Why growdyrke homeshjem? Because we can.

Hvorfor gro vores hjem? Fordi vi kan.
00:19
Right now, AmericaAmerika is in an unremittingutrættelige statestat of traumatraumer.

4000
3000
Lige nu er Amerika i et konstant stadie af trauma.
00:22
And there's a causeårsag for that, all right.
2
7000
2000
Og det er der en grund til.
00:24
We'veVi har got McPeopleMcPeople, McCarsMcCars, McHousesMcHouses.

3000
Vi har McMennesker, McBiler, McHuse.
00:27
As an architectarkitekt, I have to confrontkonfrontere something like this.
4
12000
3000
Som arkitekt skal jeg konfrontere disse ting.
00:30
So what's a technologyteknologi that will allowgive lov til us
5
15000
2000
Så hvilken teknologi vil tillade os
00:32
to make ginormousGinormous houseshuse?
6
17000
2000
at lave enorme huse?
00:34
Well, it's been around for 2,500 yearsflere år.
7
19000
3000
Den har eksisteret i 2.500 år.
00:37
It's calledhedder pleachingpleaching, or graftingpodning treestræer togethersammen,
8
22000
3000
Det kaldes fletning, eller vokse træer sammen,
00:40
or graftingpodning inosculateinosculate matterstof into one contiguoussammenhængende, vascularvaskulær systemsystem.
9
25000
3000
eller binde materialer sammen til et sammenhængende, vaskulært system.
00:43
And we do something differentforskellige
10
28000
2000
Og vi gør noget anderledes
00:45
than what we did in the pastforbi;
11
30000
2000
end hvad vi har gjort tidligere.
00:47
we addtilføje kindvenlig of a modicumminimum of intelligenceintelligens to that.
12
32000
2000
Vi tilføjer en lille smule intelligens.
00:49
We use CNCCNC to make scaffoldingstilladser
13
34000
2000
Vi bruger computere til at lave bygningernes skelet.
00:51
to traintog semi-epitheticsemi-epithetic matterstof, plantsplanter,
14
36000
2000
Til at træne semi-epitetisk materiale, planter,
00:53
into a specificbestemt geometrygeometri
15
38000
2000
til en bestemt geometri
00:55
that makesmærker a home that we call a FabFab TreeTræ HabHAB.
16
40000
3000
der gør et hjem til det vi kalder et Fantastisk Træ Levested(Fab Tree Hab).
00:58
It fitspasser into the environmentmiljø. It is the environmentmiljø.
17
43000
2000
Det passer ind i miljøet. Det er miljøet.
01:00
It is the landscapelandskab, right?
18
45000
2000
Det er landskabet.
01:02
And you can have a hundredhundrede millionmillion of these homeshjem,
19
47000
2000
Og du kan have hundrede millioner af de her hjem.
01:04
and it's great because they sucksuge carbonkulstof.
20
49000
2000
Og det er godt, fordi de suger CO2.
01:06
They're perfectperfektionere.
21
51000
2000
De er perfekte.
01:08
You can have 100 millionmillion familiesfamilier, or take things out of the suburbsforstæder,
22
53000
3000
Du kan have 100 millioner familier, eller tage ting ud af forstæderne,
01:11
because these are homeshjem that are a parten del of the environmentmiljø.
23
56000
3000
fordi de er boliger som er en del af miljøet.
01:14
ImagineForestil dig pre-growingpre vokser a villagelandsby --
24
59000
2000
Forestil dig at gro en by på forhånd --
01:16
it takes about sevensyv to 10 yearsflere år --
25
61000
2000
det tager omkring 7 til 10 år --
01:18
and everything is greengrøn.
26
63000
3000
og alting er grønt.
01:21
So not only do we do the veggieVeggie househus,
27
66000
3000
Så vi laver ikke kun vegetar huset,
01:24
we alsoogså do the in-vitroin vitro- meatkød habitatlevested,
28
69000
3000
vi laver også in vitro kød levestedet,
01:27
or homeshjem that we're doing researchforskning on now in BrooklynBrooklyn,
29
72000
3000
eller boliger som vi forsker i nu, i Brooklyn,
01:30
where, as an architecturearkitektur officekontor, we're for the first of its kindvenlig
30
75000
3000
hvor et arkitektkontor, som det første af sin art,
01:33
to put in a molecularmolekylær cellcelle biologybiologi lablab
31
78000
3000
er sat ind i et molekylærbiologi-laboratorium
01:36
and startStart experimentingeksperimentere with regenerativeregenerativ medicinemedicin
32
81000
2000
og startet med at eksperimentere med regenererende medicin
01:38
and tissuevæv engineeringingeniørarbejde
33
83000
2000
og vævmanipulation
01:40
and startStart thinkingtænker about what the futurefremtid would be
34
85000
2000
og startet med at tænke over hvordan fremtiden ser ud
01:42
if architecturearkitektur and biologybiologi becameblev til one.
35
87000
2000
hvis arkitektur og biologi slås sammen.
01:44
So we'vevi har been doing this for a couplepar of yearsflere år, and that's our lablab.
36
89000
3000
Det har vi gjort i et par år, og det er vores laboratorium.
01:47
And what we do is we growdyrke
37
92000
2000
Og det vi gør, er at gro
01:49
extracellularekstracellulære matrixmatrix from pigssvin.
38
94000
2000
ekstracellulær matrix fra grise.
01:51
We use a modifiedmodificeret inkjetinkjet printerprinter,
39
96000
2000
Vi brugte en modificeret printer.
01:53
and we printPrint geometrygeometri.
40
98000
2000
Og vi printer geometri.
01:55
We printPrint geometrygeometri where we can make industrialindustriel designdesign objectsobjekter
41
100000
3000
Vi printer geometri hvor vi kan lave industrielle designobjekter
01:58
like, you know, shoessko, leatherlæder beltsbælter,
42
103000
2000
som, I ved, sko, læderbælter,
02:00
handbagshåndtasker, etcetc.,
43
105000
2000
håndtasker, osv.,
02:02
where no sentientsansende creaturevæsen is harmedskadet.
44
107000
2000
hvor intet sansende væsen er gjort fortræd.
02:04
It's victimlessuden ofre. It's meatkød from a testprøve tuberør.
45
109000
2000
Det er uden ofre. Det er kød fra et reagensglas.
02:06
So our theoryteori is that eventuallytil sidst
46
111000
2000
Så vores teori er, at vi i sidste ende,
02:08
we should be doing this with homeshjem.
47
113000
2000
skal gøre dette med vores hjem.
02:10
So here is a typicaltypisk studStud wallvæg,
48
115000
2000
Her er et typisk skelet til en væg,
02:12
an architecturalarkitektoniske constructionkonstruktion,
49
117000
2000
en arkitektonisk konstruktion.
02:14
and this is a sectionafsnit
50
119000
2000
Og det er en sektion
02:16
of our proposalforslag for a meatkød househus,
51
121000
2000
af vores forslag til et kødhus,
02:18
where you can see we use fattyfede cellsceller as insulationisolering,
52
123000
2000
hvor man kan se vi bruger fedt celler som isolering,
02:20
ciliacilier for dealingbeskæftiger with windvind loadsbelastninger
53
125000
2000
fimrehår for at tage sig af vinden
02:22
and sphinctersphincter musclesmuskler for the doorsdøre and windowsvinduer.
54
127000
3000
og ringmuskler som dører og vinduer.
02:25
(LaughterLatter)
55
130000
3000
(Latter)
02:28
And we know it's incrediblyutroligt uglygrim.
56
133000
2000
Og vi ved det er utrolig grimt.
02:30
It could have been an Englishengelsk TudorTudor or Spanishspansk ColonialColonial,
57
135000
3000
Stilen kunne have været engelsk tudor eller en spansk kolonial,
02:33
but we kindvenlig of chosevalgte this shapeform.
58
138000
2000
men på en måde valgte vi denne form.
02:35
And there it is kindvenlig of grownvoksen, at leastmindst one particularsærlig sectionafsnit of it.
59
140000
3000
Og der er den er groet, eller ihvertfald en sektion af den.
02:38
We had a bigstor showat vise in PraguePrag,
60
143000
2000
Vi havde et stort show i Prag.
02:40
and we decidedbesluttede to put it in frontforan of the cathedralCathedral
61
145000
2000
Og vi vi besluttede at sætte den foran katedralen
02:42
so religionreligion can confrontkonfrontere the househus of meatkød.
62
147000
3000
så religion kan konfrontere huset af kød.
02:45
That's why we growdyrke homeshjem. ThanksTak very much.
63
150000
2000
Det er derfor vi gror boliger. Mange tak.
