ہم آج جو تعمیر کرتے ہیں
دیکھا جائے گا؟
جو آج ہم کر رہے ہیں،
from what we're doing today,
but seemingly illogical ways,
لیکن بظاہر غیر منطقی طریقوں سے،
ان چیزوں کونہیں بنا سکتے تھے،
have possibly built these things,
by a primordial race of giants
دیووں کی ابتدائی نسل نے
with these monsters
for moving those massive stones.
ان بڑے پتھروں کو ہلانے کے۔
کہ سايكلوپس بھی اتنے طاقتور نہیں تھے -
Cyclops aren't even that strong.
استعمال میں لانے کے لیے۔
about getting material to work for them.
عجیب مخلوق کی ویڈیو دیکھ ہے
of large, stone-like, wobbly creatures
ایک افسانوی مخلوق تھی،
a mythical creature,
that surround them,
افسانے اور حقیقت کے درمیان
there's this thick connective tissue
first encountered the island,
moved those massive statues.
مجسموں کو یہاں لائے تھے۔
لکن دراصل یہ سچ ہے-
but actually it's true.
ان کو کھڑے کھڑے منتقل کیا گیا تھا،
were transported standing,
for visitors today,
marching around the island.
جزیرہ کے چکر لگانا-
was not the objects themselves,
of bringing a stone to life.
ایک پتھرکو زندگی دینے کی۔
میں اس خواب کا پیچھا کر رہا تھا.
I've been chasing that dream.
کرسکتے ہیں یہ اساطیری رخ شامل کرنے کے لئے؟
to accommodate that mythical side?
is challenging myself
pretty straightforward task
big heavy objects,
designed to walk across land
اس انداز میں بنائی گئی ہے کہ
that springs itself to life
جو خود کو حرکت دیتا ہے
that by thinking of architecture
ways to build things today.
آج چیزیں بنانے کے لیے۔
بہت زیادہ بحث
surrounding our future
efficiency and speed.
پر ہی ہو رہی ہے -
can be smart, spectacular
یہ قدیم عجوبے کیسے بنائے گئے،
how those ancient wonders were built,
how to create the mystery
اسرار کو کیسے تخلیق کیا جاتا ہے
to ask that very question.
پر مجبور کرتا ہے۔
where we design buildings
کیسے کچھ تخلیق کیا جائے جو
how to create something

Why you should listen
Brandon Clifford is best known for bringing megalithic sculptures to life to perform tasks. He is the director and cofounder of Matter Design, where his work focuses on advancing architectural research through spectacle and mysticism. He creates new ideas by critically evaluating ancient ways of thinking and experimenting with their value today. This work ranges from an award-winning play structure for kids to a colossal system of construction elements that can be guided into place with ease by mere mortals. He is dedicated to reimagining the role of the architect, and his speculative work continues to provoke new directions for design in the digital era.
Clifford is also an assistant professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His most recent authored work, The Cannibal's Cookbook, demonstrates his dedication to bringing ancient knowledge into contemporary practice with theatrical captivation. He received his Master of Architecture from Princeton University and his Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Georgia Tech. For his work as a designer and researcher, he has received recognition with prizes such as the American Academy in Rome Prize, the SOM Prize, the Design Biennial Boston Award and the Architectural League Prize for Young Architects & Designers.
