So, I am indeed going to talk about
0
0
3000
Jadi, saya memang akan berbicara tentang
00:18
the spaces men create for themselves,
1
3000
2000
area yang dibuat orang untuk dirinya sendiri,
00:20
but first I want to tell you why I'm here.
2
5000
2000
Tapi pertama-tama saya akan bercerita mengapa saya di sini.
00:22
I'm here for two reasons. These two guys
3
7000
2000
Saya di sini karena dua alasan. Kedua orang ini
00:24
are my two sons Ford and Wren.
4
9000
3000
adalah putra saya, Ford dan Wren.
00:27
When Ford was about three years old,
5
12000
2000
saat Ford berusia sekitar tiga tahun
00:29
we shared a very small room together,
6
14000
2000
kami berbagi sebuah kamar ukuran kecil,
00:31
in a very small space.
7
16000
2000
dalam ruangan yang sempit.
00:33
My office was on one half of the bedroom,
8
18000
2000
Kantor saya ada di setengah kamar tidur,
00:35
and his bedroom was on the other half.
9
20000
2000
dan kamar tidurnya di setengah yang lain.
00:37
And you can imagine, if you're a writer,
10
22000
2000
Anda bisa bayangkan, jika Anda penulis,
00:39
that things would get really crowded around deadlines.
11
24000
3000
mendekati batas akhir pengumpulan naskah adalah waktu yang sibuk.
00:42
So when Wren was on the way,
12
27000
2000
Jadi saat Wren sedang dikandung,
00:44
I realized I needed to find a space of my own.
13
29000
2000
saya sadar saya perlu ruangan sendiri.
00:46
There was no more space in the house. So I went out to the backyard,
14
31000
3000
Tidak ada lagi ruangan di rumah. jadi saya ke halaman belakang.
00:49
and without any previous building experience,
15
34000
2000
dan tanpa pengalaman membangun sebelumnya,
00:51
and about 3,000 dollars and some
16
36000
2000
dengan modal skitar 27 juta rupiah dan beberapa
00:53
recycled materials, I built this space.
17
38000
2000
bahan baku daur ulang, saya membangun ruangan saya.
00:55
It had everything I needed. It was quiet.
18
40000
3000
Ruangannya sesuai yang saya perlukan. Suasananya tenang.
00:58
There was enough space. And I had control, which was very important.
19
43000
3000
Ada cukup ruang. dan saya memegang kendali, hal yang sangat penting bagi saya.
01:01
As I was building this space, I thought
20
46000
2000
Saat saya membangun ruang ini, saya berpikir
01:03
to myself, "Surely I'm not the only guy
21
48000
2000
"pastinya saya bukan satu-satunya orang
01:05
to have to have carved out a space for his own."
22
50000
3000
yang harus membangun ruangannya sendiri."
01:08
So I did some research.
23
53000
2000
Jadi saya mencari tahu
01:10
And I found that there was an historic precedence.
24
55000
2000
dan menemukan bahwa ada hal yang sama sebelumnya.
01:12
Hemingway had his writing space.
25
57000
2000
Hemingway punya ruangan menulisnya.
01:14
Elvis had two or three manspaces,
26
59000
2000
Elvis punya dua atau tiga ruangan pribadi,
01:16
which is pretty unique because he lived with both his wife and his mother in Graceland.
27
61000
4000
hal ini unik karena dia tinggal bersama istri dan ibunya di Graceland.
01:20
In the popular culture, Superman had the Fortress of Solitude,
28
65000
4000
Dalam budaya populer, Superman punya Benteng Kesendirian (Fortress of Solitude),
01:24
and there was, of course, the Batcave.
29
69000
3000
dan tentu saja, Gua Kelelawar. (Batcave milik Batman)
01:27
So I realized then that I wanted to go out on a journey
30
72000
4000
jadi saya sadar kalau saya mau melakukan pencarian
01:31
and see what guys were creating for themselves now.
31
76000
3000
dan melihat ruang apa yang dibuat pria untuk dirinya sendiri saat ini.
01:34
Here is one of the first spaces I found. It is in Austin, Texas,
32
79000
2000
Ini salah satu ruangan awal yang saya temukan di Austin, Texas,
01:36
which is where I'm from.
33
81000
2000
kampung halaman saya.
01:38
On the outside it looks like a very typical garage, a nice garage.
34
83000
3000
Dari luar tampak seperti garasi biasa, garasi yang bagus.
01:41
But on the inside, it's anything but.
35
86000
2000
Tapi dalamnya berbeda sekali.
01:43
And this, to me, is a pretty classic manspace.
36
88000
2000
Dan ini, bagi saya, adalah "ruang pria" yang klasik.
01:45
It has neon concert posters, a bar
37
90000
4000
Di dalamnya ada neon, poster konser, sebuah bar
01:49
and, of course, the leg lamp,
38
94000
2000
dan tentunya, lampu kaki,
01:51
which is very important.
39
96000
2000
yang tentunya sangat penting.
01:53
I soon realized that manspaces didn't have to be only inside.
40
98000
3000
Saya segera sadar bahwa "ruang pria" tidak harus ada di dalam.
01:56
This guy built a bowling alley in his backyard,
41
101000
3000
Orang ini membuat arena bowling di halaman belakangnya
01:59
out of landscaping timbers, astroturf.
42
104000
2000
dari kayu taman, merk astroturf.
02:01
And he found the scoreboard in the trash.
43
106000
3000
Dan dia mendapat papan nilainya dari tempat sampah.
02:04
Here's another outdoor space, a little bit more sophisticated.
44
109000
2000
Ini contoh ruang luar, sedikit lebih rumit.
02:06
This a 1923 wooden tugboat,
45
111000
3000
Ini adalah perahu tongkang kayu buatan tahun 1923
02:09
made completely out of Douglas fir.
46
114000
2000
seluruhnya terbuat dari kayu Douglas Fir.
02:11
The guy did it all himself.
47
116000
2000
Pria ini melakukannya seorang diri
02:13
And there is about 1,000 square feet of hanging-out space inside.
48
118000
4000
dan ada sekitar 92 meter persegi tempat nongkrong didalamnya.
02:17
So, pretty early on in my investigations
49
122000
3000
Jadi, di masa awal pencarian saya
02:20
I realized what I was finding was not what I expected to find,
50
125000
3000
saya menyadari yang saya temukan tidak seperti yang saya duga,
02:23
which was, quite frankly, a lot of beer can pyramids
51
128000
2000
yaitu, sejujurnya, tumpukan dari kaleng bir,
02:25
and overstuffed couches and flat-screen TVs.
52
130000
3000
sofa dan TV layar datar rusak.
02:28
There were definitely hang-out spots.
53
133000
2000
Benar-benar ada tempat nongkrong.
02:30
But some were for working, some were for playing,
54
135000
3000
Beberapa untuk bekerja, lainnya untuk bermain,
02:33
some were for guys to collect their things.
55
138000
3000
beberapa untuk tempat koleksi.
02:36
Most of all, I was just surprised with what I was finding.
56
141000
3000
Kebanyakan membuat saya terkejut dengan apa yang saya temukan.
02:39
Take this place for example.
57
144000
2000
Misalnya tempat ini.
02:41
On the outside it looks like a typical northeastern garage.
58
146000
2000
Dari luar tampak seperti garasi biasa bergaya timur laut.
02:43
This is in Long Island, New York.
59
148000
2000
Ini ada di Long Island, New York.
02:45
The only thing that might tip you off is the round window.
60
150000
3000
Yang tampak agar berbeda adalah jendela bulatnya.
02:48
On the inside it's a recreation of a
61
153000
2000
Di dalamnya ada kreasi ulang dari
02:50
16th century Japanese tea house.
62
155000
3000
rumah teh jepang abad ke-16.
02:53
The man imported all the materials from Japan,
63
158000
2000
Pemiliknya mendatangkan semua bahan dari Jepang,
02:55
and he hired a Japanese carpenter
64
160000
3000
lalu menyewa tukang kayu Jepang
02:58
to build it in the traditional style.
65
163000
2000
untuk membuatnya dengan gaya tradisional
03:00
It has no nails or screws.
66
165000
2000
tanpa menggunakan paku maupun sekrup.
03:02
All the joints are hand-carved and hand-scribed.
67
167000
3000
Semua sambungannya dipahat dan disusun dengan tangan.
03:05
Here is another pretty typical scene. This is a suburban Las Vegas neighborhood.
68
170000
3000
Inilah contoh lain tampilan yang tampak biasa di pinggiran Las Vegas.
03:08
But you open one of the garage doors
69
173000
3000
Tapi di balik pintu garasinya
03:11
and there is a professional-size boxing ring inside.
70
176000
3000
ada ring tinju ukuran profesional.
03:14
(Laughter)
71
179000
1000
(Tawa)
03:15
And so there is a good reason for this.
72
180000
2000
Ada alasan bagus untuk ini.
03:17
It was built by this man who is Wayne McCullough.
73
182000
2000
Ring ini dibuat oleh orang ini, Wayne McCullough.
03:19
He won the silver medal for Ireland
74
184000
2000
Dia mendapat medali perak untuk Irlandia
03:21
in the 1992 Olympics,
75
186000
2000
pada Olimpiade 1992,
03:23
and he trains in this space. He trains other people.
76
188000
3000
dia berlatih dan melatih orang di ruangan ini.
03:26
And right off the garage he has his own trophy room
77
191000
3000
Tepat di luar garasinya ada ruang trofinya sendiri
03:29
where he can sort of bask in his accomplishments,
78
194000
2000
di mana dia bisa menyusun bukti pencapaiannya,
03:31
which is another sort of important part about a manspace.
79
196000
3000
yang juga merupakan aspek penting dari ruang pria.
03:34
So, while this space represents someone's profession,
80
199000
3000
Jadi, satu ruangan bisa mencerminkan pekerjaan seseorang,
03:37
this one certainly represents a passion.
81
202000
2000
lainnya mencerminkan hasrat seseorang.
03:39
It's made to look like the inside of an English sailing ship.
82
204000
3000
Ruangan yang ini dibuat seperti bagian dalam kapal layar Inggris.
03:42
It's a collection of nautical antiques from the 1700s and 1800s.
83
207000
3000
isinya koleksi barang antik kelautan dari tahun 1700an dan 1800an.
03:45
Museum quality.
84
210000
2000
Sama kualitasnya dengan museum.
03:47
So, as I came to the end of my journey,
85
212000
2000
Jadi, saat mendekati akhir perjalanan saya,
03:49
I found over 50 spaces.
86
214000
2000
saya menemukan lebih dari 50 ruangan
03:51
And they were unexpected and they were surprising.
87
216000
2000
yang tidak terduga dan mengejutkan.
03:53
But they were also --
88
218000
2000
Tapi ruangan itu juga --
03:55
I was really impressed by how personalized they were,
89
220000
2000
saya sangat kagum dengan betapa pribadinya ruangan itu,
03:57
and how much work went into them.
90
222000
2000
dan betapa banyak kerja dicurahkan pada ruangan itu.
03:59
And I realized that's because the guys that I met
91
224000
2000
Dan saya menyadarinya karena orang-orang yang saya temui
04:01
were all very passionate about what they did.
92
226000
2000
semua sangat bersemangat tentang apa yang mereka buat.
04:03
And they really loved their professions.
93
228000
2000
Dan mereka sangat mencintai pekerjaan mereka
04:05
And they were very passionate about their collections and their hobbies.
94
230000
2000
dan sangat bersemangat tentang koleksi dan hobi mereka,
04:07
And so they created these spaces
95
232000
2000
sehingga mereka menciptakan ruangan-ruangan ini
04:09
to reflect what they love to do,
96
234000
3000
untuk mencerminkan apa yang mereka suka lakukan,
04:12
and who they were.
97
237000
2000
dan jati diri mereka.
04:14
So if you don't have a space of your own,
98
239000
2000
Jadi jika Anda belum punya ruangan Anda sendiri,
04:16
I highly recommend finding one, and getting into it.
99
241000
2000
saya sangat menganjurkan Anda menemukan dan mengerjakannya.
04:18
Thank you very much.
100
243000
2000
Terima kasih banyak.
04:20
(Applause)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sam Martin - WriterSam Martin is the director of digital strategy at Texas Monthly magazine, and the author of "Manspace: A Primal Guide to Marking Your Territory."
Why you should listen
As Sam Martin tells the story: "After surviving the writing of his first book at a desk in the living room of his house while his 2-year-old son played in the background, he decided enough was enough. ... He built a backyard manspace -- 168 square feet of freedom where he called the shots and controlled the guest list." A manspace (for the uninitiated) is defined by Martin as a den or hideaway where a man can claim a piece of territory for himself. The experience introduced him to a thriving subculture surrounding these obsessive projects, which are documented in his book Manspace: A Primal Guide to Marking Your Territory.
Martin is author of seven books, a number of magazine articles and a television documentary. An expert on men's issues, green building, residential arthictecture, parenting, travel and spiritual pursuits, his writing has appeared in Dwell, Metropolis and Natural Home. In the summer of 2011, he led an Inside Out Project action in Bastrop, Texas, celebrating a community's resilience after a series of deadly wildfires.
The former director of publishing at frog, he is now the director of digital strategy at Texas Monthly magazine.
