ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Norman Foster - Architect
Sir Norman Foster, winner of the 1999 Pritzker Prize, is perhaps the leading urban stylist of our age. His elegant, efficient buildings grace cities around the globe.

Why you should listen

From museums and banks to airports and bridges, from apartment buildings to the Reichstag, in the past 35 years Norman Foster's beautiful and efficient designs have dramatically changed the character of cities (think of the London Gherkin) and landscapes (the Viaduc de Millau) around the world.

A common philosophy connects all of them, starting with social responsiveness and the use of natural resources (ventilation, light). Some of Foster's work has sparked controversy (such as his pyramid in Astana, Kazakhstan), but he has never ignored a chance to rewrite the rules of architecture, be it by tackling audaciously huge construction projects or by designing wind turbines and partly-solar-powered electric buses.

As an architect建築師 you design設計 for the present當下,

7000
身為建築師,你爲現在而設計,
00:23
with an awareness意識 of the past過去,
1
7000
3000
帶著對過去的驚覺,
00:26
for a future未來 which哪一個 is essentially實質上 unknown未知.
2
10000
7000
邁向基本上無從得知的未來。
00:33
The green綠色 agenda議程 is probably大概 the most important重要 agenda議程
3
17000
4000
「綠色議題」也許是現今最重要的議題
00:37
and issue問題 of the day.
4
21000
3000
及問題 。
00:40
And I'd like to share分享 some experience經驗
5
24000
4000
我想跟大家分享一些經驗,
00:44
over the last 40 years年份 -- we celebrate慶祝 our fortieth第四十 anniversary週年 this year --
6
28000
5000
過去四十年來--今年是我們的四十週年慶--
00:49
and to explore探索 and to touch觸摸 on some observations意見
7
33000
6000
探索和觸及一些關於
00:55
about the nature性質 of sustainability可持續性.
8
39000
4000
永續本質的觀察。
00:59
How far you can anticipate預料, what follows如下 from it,
9
43000
3000
你可以預期多少、後續是什麼,
01:02
what are the threats威脅, what are the possibilities可能性,
10
46000
2000
有哪些威脅,有哪些可能性個、
01:04
the challenges挑戰, the opportunities機會?
11
48000
3000
挑戰和機會?
01:07
I think that -- I've said in the past過去, many許多, many許多 years年份 ago,
12
51000
4000
許多年前我曾說過,
01:11
before anybody任何人 even invented發明 the concept概念 of a green綠色 agenda議程,
13
55000
6000
在有人發明這「綠色議題」的觀念以前,
01:17
that it wasn't about fashion時尚 -- it was about survival生存.
14
61000
6000
建築跟流行無關,而是關於生存。
01:23
But what I never said, and what I'm really going to make the point is,
15
67000
5000
但我從未說過,而且真正想說的重點是,
01:28
that really, green綠色 is cool.
16
72000
3000
環保(綠色)真的很酷。
01:31
I mean, all the projects項目 which哪一個 have, in some way, been inspired啟發
17
75000
5000
所有受到那個概念啟發的作品就某種程度來說,
01:36
by that agenda議程 are about a celebratory慶祝 lifestyle生活方式,
18
80000
5000
都與歡慶的生活風格有關。
01:41
in a way celebrating慶祝 the places地方 and the spaces空間
19
85000
5000
慶祝決定生活品質的地方
01:46
which哪一個 determine確定 the quality質量 of life.
20
90000
3000
和空間。
01:49
I rarely很少 actually其實 quote引用 anything,
21
93000
4000
我很少引述別人的話,
01:53
so I'm going to try and find a piece of paper if I can,
22
97000
4000
如果可以,我想找出一張紙,
01:57
[in] which哪一個 somebody, at the end結束 of last year, ventured冒險 the thought
23
101000
6000
去年底有人大膽提出一個想法,
02:03
about what for that individual個人, as a kind of important重要 observer觀察者,
24
107000
5000
那個重要的趨勢觀察者、
02:08
analyst分析人士, writer作家 -- a guy called Thomas托馬斯 Friedman弗里德曼,
25
112000
4000
分析家、作家,一個名叫湯姆士佛里曼的人,
02:12
who wrote in the Herald先鋒 Tribune論壇, about 2006.
26
116000
6000
2006年左右他在《國際先鋒論壇報》上寫了一篇文章。
02:18
He said,
27
122000
3000
他說:
02:21
"I think the most important重要 thing to happen發生 in 2006
28
125000
3000
「我想2006年發生的最重要的事,
02:24
was that living活的 and thinking思維 green綠色 hit擊中 Main主要 Street.
29
128000
5000
就是綠色生活及綠色思想席捲了商業街。
02:29
We reached到達 a tipping小費 point this year
30
133000
3000
今年我們達到了一個引爆點,
02:32
where living活的, acting演戲, designing設計, investing投資 and manufacturing製造業 green綠色
31
136000
5000
當中綠色的生活設計、投資及生產,
02:37
came來了 to be understood了解 by a critical危急 mass
32
141000
2000
使眾多民眾、企業家和官員
02:39
of citizens公民, entrepreneurs企業家 and officials官員
33
143000
3000
都認識到
02:42
as the most patriotic愛國, capitalistic資本主義, geo-political地緣政治
34
146000
3000
這是他們做到的最愛國、最資本主義、最地理政治學
02:45
and competitive競爭的 thing they could do.
35
149000
3000
及最競爭性的事。
02:48
Hence於是 my motto座右銘: green綠色 is the new red, white白色 and blue藍色."
36
152000
6000
所以,我的座右銘是:綠色(環保)是新的紅白藍」
02:54
And I asked myself, in a way, looking back,
37
158000
4000
回顧過往我問我自己:
02:58
"When did that kind of awareness意識 of the planet行星 and its fragility脆弱性 first appear出現?"
38
162000
10000
「關注地球及她的脆弱性是何時開始的呢?」
03:08
And I think it was July七月 20, 1969,
39
172000
4000
我想是從1969年7月20日,
03:12
when, for the first time, man could look back at planet行星 Earth地球.
40
176000
6000
當人類首次可以觀望地球的那天開始浮現的 。
03:18
And, in a way, it was Buckminster巴克明斯特 Fuller富勒 who coined創造 that phrase短語.
41
182000
6000
就某程度來說,是巴克明斯特·福勒創造了那個詞的。
03:24
And before the kind of collapse坍方 of the communist共產 system系統,
42
188000
6000
在共產體制瓦解之前,
03:30
I was privileged特權 to meet遇到 a lot of cosmonauts宇航員
43
194000
3000
我有榮幸跟許多
03:33
in Space空間 City and other places地方 in Russia俄國.
44
197000
2000
前蘇聯的太空人在蘇聯的太空城等地方見面 。
03:35
And interestingly有趣, as I think back,
45
199000
3000
我回顧後發現有趣的是,
03:38
they were the first true真正 environmentalists環保主義者.
46
202000
4000
他們是第一批真正的環保主義者。
03:42
They were filled填充 with a kind of pioneering創舉 passion,
47
206000
5000
他們充滿一種開墾者的熱情,
03:47
fired解僱 about the problems問題 of the Aral鹹海 Sea.
48
211000
3000
為鹹海的問題而激動。
03:50
And at that period it was --
49
214000
3000
當時--
03:53
in a way, a number of things were happening事件.
50
217000
2000
發生了幾件事情。
03:55
Buckminster巴克明斯特 Fuller富勒 was the kind of green綠色 guru領袖 --
51
219000
5000
巴克明斯特·福勒是那一種環保上師 --
04:00
again, a word that had not been coined創造.
52
224000
2000
這也是當時尚未被創造的詞。
04:02
He was a design設計 scientist科學家, if you like, a poet詩人,
53
226000
4000
他是一個設計科學家,你也可以說他是一個詩人,
04:06
but he foresaw預見 all the things that are happening事件 now.
54
230000
4000
可是他預期了所有現在正在發生的事情。
04:10
It's another另一個 subject學科. It's another另一個 conversation會話.
55
234000
3000
這是另一個主題、另一段談話,
04:13
You can go back to his writings文章: it's quite相當 extraordinary非凡.
56
237000
5000
你可以追溯他的寫作,真的很非凡,
04:18
It was at that time, with an awareness意識
57
242000
5000
就是在那時
04:23
fired解僱 by Bucky's布凱 prophecies預言, his concerns關注
58
247000
5000
巴克的預言,激起了關注
04:28
as a citizen公民, as a kind of citizen公民 of the planet行星,
59
252000
5000
他那身為公民,身為地球公民的擔心
04:33
that influenced影響 my thinking思維 and what we were doing at that time.
60
257000
4000
影響了我的思想及當時正在做的事。
04:37
And it's a number of projects項目.
61
261000
3000
有幾個作品,
04:40
I select選擇 this one because it was 1973, and it was a master plan計劃
62
264000
6000
我選這個因為它建於1973年,這是爲
04:46
for one of the Canary加納利 Islands島嶼.
63
270000
2000
康那利群島之一所畫的整體設計。
04:48
And this probably大概 coincided恰逢 with the time
64
272000
4000
或許是恰巧遇上
04:52
when you had the planet行星 Earth's地球 sourcebook原始資料,
65
276000
3000
地球資源叢書的出版,
04:55
and you had the hippie嬉皮士 movement運動.
66
279000
2000
及嘻皮運動,
04:57
And there are some of those qualities氣質 in this drawing畫畫,
67
281000
4000
這設計圖上有一些那樣的特性,
05:01
which哪一個 seeks尋求 to sum up the recommendations建議.
68
285000
3000
嘗試總合那些優點。
05:04
And all the components組件 are there which哪一個 are now
69
288000
3000
那些構成要素現在
05:07
in common共同 parlance說法, in our vocabulary詞彙,
70
291000
3000
成了共用的語法,
05:10
you know, 30-odd-奇 years年份 later後來:
71
294000
3000
在30多年之後出現在我們的詞彙裡。
05:13
wind energy能源, recycling回收, biomass生物質, solar太陽能 cells細胞.
72
297000
5000
風力發電、回收、生物能源、太陽能電池--
05:18
And in parallel平行 at that time, there was
73
302000
4000
同時,在當時
05:22
a very kind of exclusive獨家 design設計 club俱樂部.
74
306000
5000
有一種獨特的設計俱樂部。
05:27
People who were really design設計 conscious意識
75
311000
3000
那些真的有設計意識的人,
05:30
were inspired啟發 by the work of Dieter迪特 Rams公羊,
76
314000
3000
都深受迪特‧拉姆斯的作品,
05:33
and the objects對象 that he would create創建
77
317000
3000
與及那些他為百靈公司
05:36
for the company公司 called Braun布勞恩.
78
320000
2000
所創造的物品啟發。
05:38
This is going back the mid-'中-'50s, '60s.
79
322000
3000
這是回到50年代中期 60年代的事了。
05:41
And despite儘管 Bucky's布凱 prophecies預言
80
325000
3000
不顧巴克
05:44
that everything would be miniaturized小型化
81
328000
3000
所有的東西都小型化,
05:47
and technology技術 would make an incredible難以置信 style樣式 --
82
331000
3000
和科技會創造一個不可思議的風格的預言--
05:50
access訪問 to comfort安慰, to amenities設施 --
83
334000
4000
貼近舒適度及優雅--
05:54
it was very, very difficult to imagine想像
84
338000
3000
很難想像
05:57
that everything that we see in this image圖片,
85
341000
2000
我們在這圖上所看到的一切,
05:59
would be very, very stylishly時尚 packaged包裝.
86
343000
3000
將會被包裝得很時髦。
06:02
And that, and more besides除了, would be in the palm棕櫚 of your hand.
87
346000
3000
此外,還能放到你掌心裡,
06:05
And I think that that digital數字 revolution革命
88
349000
4000
我認為數位革命
06:09
now is coming未來 to the point
89
353000
3000
現在走到了一個點,
06:12
where, as the virtual虛擬 world世界, which哪一個 brings帶來 so many許多 people together一起 here,
90
356000
6000
讓可聚集許多人來此的虛擬世界,
06:18
finally最後 connects所連接 with the physical物理 world世界,
91
362000
2000
終於與實體世界有了連結 。
06:20
there is the reality現實 that that has become成為 humanized人性化,
92
364000
6000
事實上,這連結已被人性化了,
06:26
so that digital數字 world世界 has all the friendliness友好,
93
370000
4000
所以,數位世界擁有親切感、
06:30
all the immediacy直接, the orientation方向 of the analog類似物 world世界.
94
374000
4000
即時性及類比世界中的方位。
06:34
Probably大概 summed總結 up in a way
95
378000
2000
也許可以用
06:36
by the stylish時尚 or alternative替代 available可得到 here,
96
380000
4000
手邊這時髦,或是替代的產品來作總結,
06:40
as we generously慷慨 had gifted天才 at lunchtime午餐時間,
97
384000
4000
就像是我們在午餐時間被慷慨給與的,
06:44
the [unclear不明], which哪一個 is a further進一步 kind of development發展 --
98
388000
4000
下一階段的發展Maxin,
06:48
and again, inspired啟發 by the incredible難以置信 sort分類 of sensual聲色 feel.
99
392000
4000
這也是受到奇妙的感受所啓發的。
06:52
A very, very beautiful美麗 object目的.
100
396000
2000
一個非常非常美的物品,
06:54
So, something which哪一個 in [the] '50s, '60s was very exclusive獨家
101
398000
5000
在50、60年代很獨特的東西,
06:59
has now become成為, interestingly有趣, quite相當 inclusive包括的.
102
403000
3000
現在卻有趣地成為,蘊含在內的元素
07:02
And the reference參考 to the iPodiPod的 as iconic標誌性的,
103
406000
4000
把iPod當成象徵性的指標,
07:06
and in a way evocative喚起的 of performance性能, delivery交貨 --
104
410000
5000
他創造了難忘的性能與傳達經驗,
07:11
quite相當 interesting有趣 that [in] the beginning開始 of the year 2007,
105
415000
3000
有趣的是 2007年初,
07:14
the Financial金融 Times commented評論 that the Detroit底特律 companies公司
106
418000
4000
《金融時報》報導底特律的幾家公司,
07:18
envy羨慕 the halo光環 effect影響 that Toyota豐田 has gained獲得
107
422000
3000
都羨慕豐田從Prius得到的月暈效應,
07:21
from the Prius普銳斯 as the hybrid混合動力, energy-conscious節能意識 vehicle車輛,
108
425000
5000
節電油能混合汽車Prius也因此,
07:26
which哪一個 rivals對手 the iPodiPod的 as an iconic標誌性的 product產品.
109
430000
2000
成為象徵商品iPod的競爭對手。
07:28
And I think it's very tempting誘人的 to, in a way, seduce勾引 ourselves我們自己 --
110
432000
5000
我想我們很容易誘使自己落入圈套,
07:33
as architects建築師, or anybody任何人 involved參與 with the design設計 process處理 --
111
437000
3000
無論是建築師或任何參與設計過程的人,
07:36
that the answer回答 to our problems問題 lies with buildings房屋.
112
440000
4000
會認為解決問題的方法就在建築上。
07:40
Buildings房屋 are important重要, but
113
444000
2000
建築是重要的,可是
07:42
they're only a component零件 of a much bigger picture圖片.
114
446000
3000
那只是整體的部分結構。
07:45
In other words, as I might威力 seek尋求 to demonstrate演示,
115
449000
2000
換句話說,我將試圖說明,
07:47
if you could achieve實現 the impossible不可能,
116
451000
2000
如果你能做到不可能的事,
07:49
the equivalent當量 of perpetual永動的 motion運動,
117
453000
3000
例如永恆運動,
07:52
you could design設計 a carbon-free無碳 house, for example.
118
456000
4000
你就可以設計一棟零碳房屋。
07:56
That would be the answer回答.
119
460000
1000
那將會是解決辦法。
07:57
Unfortunately不幸, it's not the answer回答.
120
461000
2000
可惜的是,那並不是解答,
07:59
It's only the beginning開始 of the problem問題.
121
463000
2000
只是問題的開始而已。
08:01
You cannot不能 separate分離 the buildings房屋 out
122
465000
2000
你不能將建築
08:03
from the infrastructure基礎設施 of cites引用
123
467000
2000
從城市基礎建設
08:05
and the mobility流動性 of transit過境.
124
469000
2000
及交通運輸中切割出來。
08:07
For example, if, in that Bucky-inspired巴基啟發 phrase短語, we draw back
125
471000
6000
例如,如果在巴克所啟發的詞彙中,我們回顧
08:13
and we look at planet行星 Earth地球,
126
477000
2000
並觀察地球,
08:15
and we take a kind of typical典型, industrialized工業化 society社會,
127
479000
3000
拿個一般工業化的社會來看,
08:18
then the energy能源 consumed消費 would be split分裂
128
482000
3000
所消耗的能源可分成
08:21
between之間 the buildings房屋, 44 percent百分, transport運輸, 34 percent百分, and industry行業.
129
485000
6000
建築佔44%、交通佔34%及工業。
08:27
But again, that only shows節目 part部分 of the picture圖片.
130
491000
2000
不過那也只是其中一部分而已,
08:29
If you looked看著 at the buildings房屋 together一起 with the associated相關 transport運輸,
131
493000
5000
如果你把建築跟相關交通一起觀察,
08:34
in other words, the transport運輸 of people, which哪一個 is 26 percent百分,
132
498000
5000
換句話說,就是人們的運輸佔26%,
08:39
then 70 percent百分 of the energy能源 consumption消費
133
503000
2000
那麼70%的能源消耗
08:41
is influenced影響 by the way that our cites引用 and infrastructure基礎設施 work together一起.
134
505000
7000
則會受到城市及基礎建設一起運作的影響。
08:48
So the problems問題 of sustainability可持續性
135
512000
3000
於是,永續性的問題,
08:51
cannot不能 be separated分離 from the nature性質 of the cities城市,
136
515000
3000
不能跟建築所歸屬的
08:54
of which哪一個 the buildings房屋 are a part部分.
137
518000
3000
城市的本質分開。
08:57
For example, if you take, and you make a comparison對照
138
521000
4000
例如,如果你把兩個城市做比較,
09:01
between之間 a recent最近 kind of city,
139
525000
4000
一個新的城市,
09:05
what I'll call, simplistically簡單地, a North American美國 city --
140
529000
3000
我簡單稱為一個北美的城市--
09:08
and Detroit底特律 is not a bad example, it is very car汽車 dependent依賴的.
141
532000
5000
底特律是個不錯的例子,大量依賴汽車,
09:13
The city goes out in annular環形的 rings戒指,
142
537000
3000
底特律城市以環狀的方式擴散,
09:16
consuming消費 more and more green綠色 space空間,
143
540000
2000
耗用更多的綠地
09:18
and more and more roads道路, and more and more energy能源
144
542000
4000
及更多的道路,還有更多更多的能源,
09:22
in the transport運輸 of people between之間 the city center中央 --
145
546000
4000
就爲了運輸人們往返市中心--
09:26
which哪一個 again, the city center中央, as it becomes deprived剝奪
146
550000
3000
隨著市中心被剝奪
09:29
of the living活的 and just becomes commercial廣告, again becomes dead.
147
553000
5000
生活空間,成為商業中心,它也就死亡了。
09:34
If you compared相比 Detroit底特律 with a city of a Northern北方 European歐洲的 example --
148
558000
6000
如果你將底特律跟一個北歐城市比較,
09:40
and Munich慕尼黑 is not a bad example of that,
149
564000
4000
慕尼黑是個不錯的例子。
09:44
with the greater更大 dependence依賴 on walking步行 and cycling循環 --
150
568000
5000
大量依賴走路和腳踏車,
09:49
then a city which哪一個 is really only twice兩次 as dense稠密,
151
573000
6000
那麼這個密度多了一倍的城市,
09:55
is only using運用 one-tenth十分之一 of the energy能源.
152
579000
4000
卻只有使用底特律十分之一的能源。
09:59
In other words, you take these comparable可比 examples例子
153
583000
2000
換句話說,你看這兩個比較的例子,
10:01
and the energy能源 leap飛躍 is enormous巨大.
154
585000
4000
就知道其中能源的差距很巨大。
10:05
So basically基本上, if you wanted to generalize概括, you can demonstrate演示
155
589000
6000
基本上,如果你想歸納,你可以說
10:11
that as the density密度 increases增加 along沿 the bottom底部 there,
156
595000
5000
在底線上隨著人口密度的增加,
10:16
that the energy能源 consumed消費 reduces減少 dramatically顯著.
157
600000
4000
能源消耗卻可大幅減少。
10:20
Of course課程 you can't separate分離 this out from issues問題 like
158
604000
3000
當然,你無法撇開
10:23
social社會 diversity多樣, mass transit過境,
159
607000
3000
社會多樣性、大眾運輸、
10:26
the ability能力 to be able能夠 to walk步行 a convenient方便 distance距離,
160
610000
4000
方便行走的距離、
10:30
the quality質量 of civic公民 spaces空間.
161
614000
2000
城市空間的品質等條件。
10:32
But again, you can see Detroit底特律, in yellow黃色 at the top最佳,
162
616000
5000
你可以再次看到上方黃色的底特律,
10:37
extraordinary非凡 consumption消費, down below下面 Copenhagen哥本哈根.
163
621000
3000
有驚人的用量,哥本哈根則在它之下,
10:40
And Copenhagen哥本哈根, although雖然 it's a dense稠密 city,
164
624000
2000
哥本哈根雖然是人口密集的城市,
10:42
is not dense稠密 compared相比 with the really dense稠密 cities城市.
165
626000
5000
比起其他真正密度高的城市卻不太擁擠。
10:47
In the year 2000, a rather interesting有趣 thing happened發生.
166
631000
5000
2000年,發生了一件蠻有趣的事,
10:52
You had for the first time mega-cities特大城市, [of] 5 million百萬 or more,
167
636000
4000
你首次看見五百萬人或以上的巨型城市,
10:56
which哪一個 were occurring發生 in the developing發展 world世界.
168
640000
4000
開始在發展中國家形成。
11:00
And now, out of typically一般 46 cities城市,
169
644000
3000
今天在46個典型城市中,
11:03
33 of those mega-cities特大城市 are in the developing發展 world世界.
170
647000
5000
其中33個巨型城市都位於發展中國家。
11:08
So you have to ask yourself你自己 -- the environmental環境的 impact碰撞 of,
171
652000
4000
所以你必須問自己--例如,
11:12
for example, China中國 or India印度.
172
656000
2000
中國或印度,將帶來什麼環境衝擊。
11:14
If you take China中國, and you just take Beijing北京,
173
658000
5000
假如中國,拿北京做例子,
11:19
you can see on that traffic交通 system系統,
174
663000
3000
你可以看到那交通系統及
11:22
and the pollution污染 associated相關 with the consumption消費 of energy能源
175
666000
6000
因為汽車變得跟自行車一樣便宜
11:28
as the cars汽車 expand擴大 at the price價錢 of the bicycles自行車.
176
672000
7000
的消耗能源所帶來的污染
11:35
In other words, if you put onto the roads道路, as is currently目前 happening事件,
177
679000
5000
換句話說,如果每天都增加
11:40
1,000 new cars汽車 every一切 day --
178
684000
4000
1000輛新車在路上--
11:44
statistically統計學, it's the biggest最大 booming繁榮 auto汽車 market市場 in the world世界 --
179
688000
6000
數據顯示這是世界上最蓬勃的汽車市場,
11:50
and the half a billion十億 bicycles自行車 serving服務 one and a third第三 billion十億 people are reducing減少.
180
694000
8000
而三億多人騎的五億輛自行車正在減少,
11:58
And that urbanization城市化 is extraordinary非凡, accelerated加速 pace步伐.
181
702000
7000
這樣都市化的速度是驚人的快。
12:05
So, if we think of the transition過渡 in our society社會
182
709000
7000
假如,我們思考自己的社會轉變,
12:12
of the movement運動 from the land土地 to the cities城市, which哪一個 took 200 years年份,
183
716000
5000
從空地發展到城市整整花了200年,
12:17
then that same相同 process處理 is happening事件 in 20 years年份.
184
721000
5000
同樣的過程卻只花了北京20年。
12:22
In other words, it is accelerating加速 by a factor因子 of 10.
185
726000
5000
也就是北京以快十倍的速度行進著,
12:27
And quite相當 interestingly有趣, over something like a 60-year-年 period,
186
731000
8000
有趣的是,在大約60年之間,
12:35
we're seeing眼看 the doubling加倍 in life expectancy期待,
187
739000
3000
我們看到預期壽命正在倍增,
12:38
over that period where the urbanization城市化 has trebled三倍.
188
742000
6000
同時都市化也變成三倍。
12:44
If I pull back from that global全球 picture圖片,
189
748000
3000
如果我回看全球局面,
12:47
and I look at the implication意義 over a similar類似 period of time
190
751000
4000
以類似的時間長度來看其中的含義,
12:51
in terms條款 of the technology技術 -- which哪一個, as a tool工具,
191
755000
4000
從科技的角度來看--就工具而言,
12:55
is a tool工具 for designers設計師,
192
759000
2000
科技是設計師的工具 ,
12:57
and I cite引用 our own擁有 experience經驗 as a company公司,
193
761000
4000
我將以我自己公司的經驗舉證 ,
13:01
and I just illustrate說明 that by a small selection選擇 of projects項目 --
194
765000
5000
選幾個作品來說明--
13:06
then how do you measure測量 that change更改 of technology技術?
195
770000
5000
你如何測量科技的改變呢?
13:11
How does it affect影響 the design設計 of buildings房屋?
196
775000
3000
科技又如何影響建築的設計呢?
13:14
And particularly尤其, how can it lead
197
778000
3000
特別是,它如何引領
13:17
to the creation創建 of buildings房屋 which哪一個 consume消耗 less energy能源,
198
781000
4000
我們創造節能的、
13:21
create創建 less pollution污染 and are more socially社交上 responsible主管?
199
785000
5000
低污染的且負有社會責任的建築呢?
13:26
That story故事, in terms條款 of buildings房屋, started開始 in the late晚了 '60s, early '70s.
200
790000
6000
那個故事始於60年代後期70年代初,
13:32
The one example I take is a corporate企業 headquarters司令部
201
796000
3000
我所選的例子是,一個企業總部大樓,
13:35
for a company公司 called Willis威利斯 and Faber麥嘉華,
202
799000
3000
客戶是威利法柏。
13:38
in a small market市場 town in the northeast東北 of England英國,
203
802000
7000
地點是英格蘭東北部的商業小鎮,
13:45
commuting上下班 distance距離 with London倫敦.
204
809000
3000
與倫敦隔著合理的通勤距離。
13:48
And here, the first thing you can see
205
812000
2000
首先,你可以看見的
13:50
is that this building建造, the roof屋頂 is a very warm kind of
206
814000
5000
這棟大樓的屋頂像是
13:55
overcoat大衣 blanket, a kind of insulating絕緣 garden花園,
207
819000
3000
很溫暖的棉大衣、一個隔熱的花園,
13:58
which哪一個 is also about the celebration慶典 of public上市 space空間.
208
822000
4000
也是在讚揚公共空間的美好。
14:02
In other words, for this community社區, they have this garden花園 in the sky天空.
209
826000
4000
也就是說,群眾會有一個空中花園,
14:06
So the humanistic人文 ideal理想 is very, very strong強大 in all this work,
210
830000
5000
在這作品中,有濃厚的人文理想氣息,
14:11
encapsulated封裝 perhaps也許 by one of my early sketches素描 here,
211
835000
5000
或許這也涵蓋在我早期的手稿當中,
14:16
where you can see greenery綠化, you can see sunlight陽光,
212
840000
3000
你看得到綠地、陽光,
14:19
you have a connection連接 with nature性質.
213
843000
2000
跟大自然有連結 ,
14:21
And nature性質 is part部分 of the generator發電機, the driver司機 for this building建造.
214
845000
5000
而大自然是這棟建築的發電機及驅動者之一,
14:26
And symbolically象徵, the colors顏色 of the interior室內 are green綠色 and yellow黃色.
215
850000
4000
象徵性地,地室內的顏色是綠色和黃色的。
14:30
It has facilities設備 like swimming游泳的 pools, it has flextime彈性工作制,
216
854000
4000
它有游泳池等設施,有彈性工時,
14:34
it has a social社會 heart, a space空間, you have contact聯繫 with nature性質.
217
858000
5000
有個社交中心地,一個能接近自然的空間,。
14:39
Now this was 1973.
218
863000
3000
而這是1973年的設計,
14:42
In 2001, this building建造 received收到 an award.
219
866000
4000
在2001年這棟建築得到了一個獎,
14:46
And the award was about a celebration慶典 for a building建造
220
870000
3000
表揚一棟
14:49
which哪一個 had been in use over a long period of time.
221
873000
4000
使用了許多年的建築 ,
14:53
And the people who'd誰願意 created創建 it came來了 back:
222
877000
3000
打造這棟建築的人都回來了。
14:56
the project項目 managers經理, the company公司 chairmen主席 then.
223
880000
4000
企劃主管及當時的公司總裁
15:00
And they were saying, you know,
224
884000
1000
他們說:
15:01
"The architects建築師, Norman諾曼 was always going on about
225
885000
3000
那建築師諾曼總是說,
15:04
designing設計 for the future未來, and you know,
226
888000
2000
要為未來做設計 ,
15:06
it didn't seem似乎 to cost成本 us any more.
227
890000
2000
而且,也不多花我們更多錢。
15:08
So we humored幽默的 him, we kept不停 him happy快樂."
228
892000
4000
所以,我們就遷就他讓他快樂,
15:12
The image圖片 at the top最佳,
229
896000
2000
上方的圖片,
15:14
what it doesn't -- if you look at it in detail詳情,
230
898000
2000
如果你仔細看
15:16
really what it is saying is you can wire this building建造.
231
900000
4000
它其實是在說,你可以替這棟建築佈線,
15:20
This building建造 was wired有線 for change更改.
232
904000
4000
這棟建築為改變而佈線。
15:24
So, in 1975, the image圖片 there is of typewriters打字機.
233
908000
4000
1975年,圖片上的是打字機
15:28
And when the photograph照片 was taken採取, it's word processors處理器.
234
912000
5000
當拍攝照片時,則變成了電腦。
15:33
And what they were saying on this occasion場合 was that our competitors競爭對手
235
917000
4000
這兩樣東西,在那時間點顯示出我們的競爭者,
15:37
had to build建立 new buildings房屋 for the new technology技術.
236
921000
4000
必須建蓋新的大樓來迎接新科技。
15:41
We were fortunate幸運,
237
925000
2000
我們很幸運,
15:43
because in a way our building建造 was future-proofed面向未來.
238
927000
2000
因為我們的建築是可適應未來的。
15:45
It anticipated預期 change更改, even though雖然 those changes變化 were not known已知.
239
929000
6000
它預期了改變,儘管那些改變並不可知。
15:51
Round回合 about that design設計 period leading領導 up to this building建造,
240
935000
4000
大約在完成這棟大樓的設計之前,
15:55
I did a sketch草圖, which哪一個 we pulled out of the archive檔案 recently最近.
241
939000
5000
我畫的一張草圖,最近才從檔案中拿出來,
16:00
And I was saying, and I wrote, "But we don't have the time,
242
944000
4000
我在上面寫著:「但是我們沒有那個時間,
16:04
and we really don't have the immediate即時 expertise專門知識
243
948000
3000
也沒有現有的
16:07
at a technical技術 level水平."
244
951000
1000
技術專業可用」
16:08
In other words, we didn't have the technology技術
245
952000
2000
也就是說,我們當時並沒有相關的科技,
16:10
to do what would be really interesting有趣 on that building建造.
246
954000
4000
能把真的有意思的東西放進這棟建築裡。
16:14
And that would be to create創建 a kind of three-dimensional三維 bubble泡沫 --
247
958000
4000
如創造一種立體的泡泡--
16:18
a really interesting有趣 overcoat大衣 that would naturally自然 ventilate通風,
248
962000
5000
一種會自然通風的有趣外層,
16:23
would breathe呼吸 and would seriously認真地 reduce減少 the energy能源 loads負載.
249
967000
5000
會呼吸且真的能減少能量的消耗。
16:28
Notwithstanding雖然 the fact事實 that the building建造, as a green綠色 building建造,
250
972000
3000
儘管,事實上,這棟建築
16:31
is very much a pioneering創舉 building建造.
251
975000
2000
還是可稱為綠建築的開創先鋒。
16:33
And if I fast-forward快進 in time, what is interesting有趣
252
977000
3000
有趣的是,如果我把時間快轉,
16:36
is that the technology技術 is now available可得到 and celebratory慶祝.
253
980000
5000
現在有環保科技可用且蓬勃發展。
16:41
The library圖書館 of the Free自由 University大學, which哪一個 opened打開 last year,
254
985000
6000
去年落成的自由大學的圖書館,
16:47
is an example of that.
255
991000
2000
就是一個例子。
16:49
And again, the transition過渡 from one of the many許多 thousands數千
256
993000
4000
從幾萬分草圖之一,
16:53
of sketches素描 and computer電腦 images圖片 to the reality現實.
257
997000
4000
變成電腦圖再到實體。
16:57
And a combination組合 of devices設備 here,
258
1001000
2000
裡頭混合著許多設備,
16:59
the kind of heavy mass concrete具體 of these book stacks,
259
1003000
4000
那些厚重的水泥書櫃,
17:03
and the way in which哪一個 that is enclosed封閉 by this skin皮膚,
260
1007000
6000
還有被外層包覆的方式,
17:09
which哪一個 enables使 the building建造 to be ventilated通風,
261
1013000
4000
可讓圖書館自然通風
17:13
to consume消耗 dramatically顯著 less energy能源,
262
1017000
3000
大量節能,
17:16
and where it's really working加工 with the forces軍隊 of nature性質.
263
1020000
3000
而且,真的能夠以大自然的力量運作。
17:19
And what is interesting有趣 is that this is hugely巨大 popular流行
264
1023000
6000
有趣的是,這很受
17:25
by the people who use it.
265
1029000
2000
使用者的喜愛。
17:27
Again, coming未來 back to that thing about the lifestyle生活方式,
266
1031000
3000
這又帶我們回到生活品味的觀念上,
17:30
and in a way, the ecological生態 agenda議程 is very much at one with the spirit精神.
267
1034000
9000
某種程度上,人們的心靈認同生態議題。
17:39
So it's not a kind of sacrifice犧牲, quite相當 the reverse相反.
268
1043000
3000
所以,這不是一種犧牲恰好相反。
17:42
I think it's a great -- it's a celebration慶典.
269
1046000
3000
我認為環保是很棒、很值得慶祝的事。
17:45
And you can measure測量 the performance性能,
270
1049000
4000
你可以測量環保的效能,
17:49
in terms條款 of energy能源 consumption消費, of that building建造
271
1053000
3000
將這建築的耗能量
17:52
against反對 a typical典型 library圖書館.
272
1056000
3000
跟典型的圖書館做比較。
17:55
If I show顯示 another另一個 aspect方面 of that technology技術
273
1059000
3000
讓我舉出另一個環保科技,
17:58
then, in a completely全然 different不同 context上下文 --
274
1062000
4000
在背景完全不同的地方--
18:02
this apartment公寓 building建造 in the Alps阿爾卑斯山 in Switzerland瑞士.
275
1066000
5000
這是在瑞士阿爾卑斯山的公寓大樓,
18:07
Prefabricated預製 from the most traditional傳統 of materials物料,
276
1071000
3000
用最傳統的建材預先打造,
18:10
but that material材料 -- because of the technology技術, the computing計算 ability能力,
277
1074000
5000
那建材--因為有科技和電腦的協助,
18:15
the ability能力 to prefabricate製造組配件, make high-performance高性能 components組件
278
1079000
4000
可預製且製造高性能的木材結構,
18:19
out of timber木材 -- very much at the cutting切割 edge邊緣.
279
1083000
4000
是很先進的建材。
18:23
And just to give a sort分類 of glimpse一瞥 of that technology技術,
280
1087000
3000
稍微來看一下這個技術,
18:26
the ability能力 to plot情節 points in the sky天空
281
1090000
8000
將點畫在空中,
18:34
and to transmit發送, to transfer轉讓 that information信息
282
1098000
7000
再將資料
18:41
now, directly into the factory.
283
1105000
5000
直接傳輸到工廠。
18:46
So if you cross交叉 the border邊境 -- just across橫過 the border邊境 --
284
1110000
3000
越過瑞士的邊界一點距離,
18:49
a small factory in Germany德國, and here you can see the guy with his computer電腦 screen屏幕,
285
1113000
6000
在德國有一間小工廠,你可以看到這裡有一個人站在電腦前,
18:55
and those points in space空間 are communicated傳達.
286
1119000
4000
剛才那些空中的點就傳輸過來了。
18:59
And on the left are the cutting切割 machines,
287
1123000
3000
在左邊的是用來切割的機器,
19:02
which哪一個 then, in the factory,
288
1126000
2000
它讓工廠
19:04
enable啟用 those individual個人 pieces to be fabricated製造
289
1128000
4000
可以預製每一塊獨特的建材,
19:08
and plus or minus減去 very, very few少數 millimeters毫米,
290
1132000
3000
只留下幾公厘
19:11
to be slotted開槽 together一起 on site現場.
291
1135000
3000
讓工人在現場組裝。
19:14
And then interestingly有趣, that building建造 to then be clad包層的
292
1138000
6000
有趣的是,接著那棟建築
19:20
in the oldest最老的 technology技術, which哪一個 is the kind of hand-cut手工切割 shingles帶狀皰疹.
293
1144000
6000
將以最古老的技術覆蓋起來,有點像手工切製的瓦片。
19:26
One quarter25美分硬幣 of a million百萬 of them applied應用的 by hand as the final最後 finish.
294
1150000
7000
以手工鋪上25萬片來完成最後的表面處理,
19:33
And again, the way in which哪一個 that works作品 as a building建造,
295
1157000
4000
就建築而言,瓦片讓我們
19:37
for those of us who can enjoy請享用 the spaces空間,
296
1161000
4000
可以享受到那兒居住
19:41
to live生活 and visit訪問 there.
297
1165000
3000
和參觀的空間。
19:44
If I made製作 the leap飛躍 into these new technologies技術,
298
1168000
4000
我跳到這裡講這些新的科技,
19:48
then how did we -- what happened發生 before that?
299
1172000
3000
那之前發生了什麼事呢?
19:51
I mean, you know, what was life like before the mobile移動 phone電話,
300
1175000
6000
我的意思是,手機及你認為理所當然的東西出現之前,
19:57
the things that you take for granted理所當然?
301
1181000
3000
那生活又是怎樣的呢?
20:00
Well, obviously明顯 the building建造 still happened發生.
302
1184000
2000
顯然,建築還是蓋起來了。
20:02
I mean, this is a glimpse一瞥 of the interior室內 of our Hong香港 Kong bank銀行 of 1979,
303
1186000
8000
這是1979年建蓋的香港銀行的內部,
20:10
which哪一個 opened打開 in 1985, with the ability能力 to be able能夠 to reflect反映 sunlight陽光
304
1194000
5000
在1985年落成,能夠將陽光折射進入
20:15
deep into the heart of this space空間 here.
305
1199000
3000
這個空間的中心。
20:18
And in the absence缺席 of computers電腦, you have to physically物理 model模型.
306
1202000
4000
在沒有電腦的情況下,你必須製作實體模型,
20:22
So for example, we would put models楷模 under an artificial人造 sky天空.
307
1206000
7000
例如,我們會將模型放在人造的天空下,
20:29
For wind tunnels隧道, we would literally按照字面 put them
308
1213000
2000
如果是風道,我們就會把它們
20:31
in a wind tunnel隧道 and blast爆破 air空氣,
309
1215000
3000
放在風道裡猛烈吹風,
20:34
and the many許多 kilometers公里 of cable電纜 and so on.
310
1218000
4000
及應用好幾公里的鋼索等等。
20:38
And the turning車削 point was probably大概, in our terms條款,
311
1222000
4000
對我們而言那個轉捩點是,
20:42
when we had the first computer電腦.
312
1226000
4000
當我們擁有第一批電腦的時候,
20:46
And that was at the time that we sought追捧
313
1230000
4000
當時我們正在探索
20:50
to redesign重新設計, reinvent重塑 the airport飛機場.
314
1234000
4000
重新設計及創造機場。
20:54
This is Terminal終奌站 Four at Heathrow希思羅機場, typical典型 of any terminal終奌站 --
315
1238000
5000
這是希司羅機場的第四航空站,很典型的航空站,
20:59
big, heavy roof屋頂, blocking閉塞 out the sunlight陽光,
316
1243000
2000
很大、很厚重的屋頂,完全阻擋了陽光,
21:01
lots of machinery機械, big pipes管道, whirring呼呼 machinery機械.
317
1245000
5000
許多機器大的運輸管、吵雜的機械聲。
21:06
And Stansted斯坦斯特德, the green綠色 alternative替代,
318
1250000
5000
史丹斯泰德機場則是個綠色的選擇,
21:11
which哪一個 uses使用 natural自然 light, is a friendly友善 place地點:
319
1255000
2000
使用自然採光,是個很友善的空間--
21:13
you know where you are, you can relate涉及 to the outside.
320
1257000
4000
你知道自己的位置,你也可跟外界有連結,
21:17
And for a large part部分 of its cycle週期, not needing需要 electric電動 light --
321
1261000
4000
而整個循環的重點是,它完全不需要電燈--
21:21
electric電動 light, which哪一個 in turn creates創建 more heat,
322
1265000
3000
因為電燈會產生更多熱度,
21:24
which哪一個 creates創建 more cooling冷卻 loads負載 and so on.
323
1268000
2000
繼而增加散熱的負擔。
21:26
And at that particular特定 point in time,
324
1270000
3000
而在那個特別的時機,
21:29
this was one of the few少數 solitary computers電腦.
325
1273000
4000
這是其中一台稀少的獨立計算機,
21:33
And that's a little image圖片 of the tree of Stansted斯坦斯特德.
326
1277000
6000
那是史丹斯泰德機場的結構圖。
21:39
Not going back very far in time, 1990,
327
1283000
3000
1990年不太久遠的年代,
21:42
that's our office辦公室.
328
1286000
3000
那是我們的辦公室。
21:45
And if you looked看著 very closely密切, you'd see
329
1289000
3000
如果你非常仔細地看,
21:48
that people were drawing畫畫 with pencils鉛筆,
330
1292000
2000
你會看到人們用鉛筆畫圖,
21:50
and they were pushing推動, you know, big rulers統治者 and triangles三角形.
331
1294000
4000
他們還在用很大的尺和三角板,
21:54
It's not that long ago, 17 years年份, and here we are now.
332
1298000
4000
那並不是很久以前的事,17年後看看我們現在已經這麼進步了,
21:58
I mean, major重大的 transformation轉型.
333
1302000
2000
真是巨大的轉變。
22:01
Going back in time, there was a lady淑女 called Valerie瓦萊麗 Larkin拉金,
334
1305000
4000
回到以前,有一位維拉蕊‧拉肯女士,
22:05
and in 1987, she had all our information信息 on one disk磁盤.
335
1309000
7000
1987年,她將所有的資料全部存在一張磁片上,
22:12
Now, every一切 week, we have the equivalent當量 of 84 million百萬 disks磁盤,
336
1316000
9000
現在,每星期我們的資料,可等同於當時的八千四百萬張磁片,
22:21
which哪一個 record記錄 our archival檔案 information信息
337
1325000
3000
存有過去、現在
22:24
on past過去, current當前 and future未來 projects項目.
338
1328000
3000
及未來的企劃案。
22:27
That reaches到達 21 kilometers公里 into the sky天空.
339
1331000
4000
長度可攀升到21公里高的天空,
22:31
This is the view視圖 you would get, if you looked看著 down on that.
340
1335000
3000
這是你從那高度往下看的景象,
22:34
But meanwhile與此同時, as you know,
341
1338000
2000
可是現在,你知道
22:36
wonderful精彩 protagonists主角 like Al Gore血塊
342
1340000
4000
像高爾那樣傑出的倡導者,
22:40
are noting注意 the inexorable殘酷 rise上升 in temperature溫度,
343
1344000
6000
都在說氣溫將無法停止攀升,
22:46
set in the context上下文 of that,
344
1350000
3000
在這樣的情況下,
22:49
interestingly有趣, those buildings房屋 which哪一個 are celebratory慶祝
345
1353000
2000
很有趣地發現那些提倡環保的建築,
22:51
and very, very relevant相應 to this place地點.
346
1355000
4000
都和那地方關係很密切。
22:55
Our Reichstag國會大廈 project項目,
347
1359000
2000
這是柏林國會大廈建案,
22:58
which哪一個 has a very familiar agenda議程, I'm sure,
348
1362000
4000
我想這有一個眾所皆知的議題,
23:02
as a public上市 place地點 where we sought追捧 to, in a way,
349
1366000
6000
作為一個公共空間,
23:08
through通過 a process處理 of advocacy擁護,
350
1372000
3000
我們想找個辦法透過提倡的方式 ,
23:11
reinterpret重新詮釋 the relationship關係 between之間 society社會 and politicians政治家,
351
1375000
5000
重新詮釋社會及政治家的關係,
23:16
public上市 space空間. And maybe its hidden agenda議程, an energy能源 manifesto宣言 --
352
1380000
5000
也許公共空間在隱藏的議題中有個能源宣言--
23:21
something that would be free自由, completely全然 free自由
353
1385000
3000
某種不受限制的東西,完全不需要
23:24
of fuel汽油 as we know it.
354
1388000
3000
我們所知道的燃料 ,
23:27
So it would be totally完全 renewable可再生.
355
1391000
2000
使它完全是可再生的。
23:29
And again, the humanistic人文 sketch草圖, the translation翻譯 into the public上市 space空間,
356
1393000
5000
另一個人性化的草圖,進入公共空間的轉變,
23:34
but this very, very much a part部分 of the ecology生態.
357
1398000
3000
幾乎屬於生態環境的一部份。
23:37
But here, not having to model模型 it for real真實.
358
1401000
4000
可是我們不需要爲實體製作模型,
23:41
Obviously明顯 the wind tunnel隧道 had a place地點,
359
1405000
3000
顯然風道原本有它的需要,
23:44
but the ability能力 now with the computer電腦
360
1408000
2000
可是現在的電腦技術,
23:46
to explore探索, to plan計劃, to see how that would work
361
1410000
4000
能夠去探索、規劃,並觀察那會如何
23:50
in terms條款 of the forces軍隊 of nature性質:
362
1414000
2000
在自然力量下運轉。
23:52
natural自然 ventilation通風, to be able能夠 to model模型 the chamber below下面,
363
1416000
4000
自然通風,我們能模擬地下的空間,
23:56
and to look at biomass生物質.
364
1420000
3000
並且探討生質能源。
23:59
A combination組合 of biomass生物質, aquifers含水層, burning燃燒 vegetable蔬菜 oil --
365
1423000
7000
綜合生物質、地下蓄水層、燃燒植物油--
24:06
a process處理 that, quite相當 interestingly有趣, was developed發達
366
1430000
4000
一個在東德依靠蘇聯軍事時
24:10
in Eastern Germany德國, at the time of its
367
1434000
4000
發展出的過程,
24:14
dependence依賴 on the Soviet蘇聯 Bloc集團.
368
1438000
2000
重新轉化那技術。
24:16
So really, retranslating重譯 that technology技術 and developing發展 something
369
1440000
4000
發展出
24:20
which哪一個 was so clean清潔, it was virtually實質上 pollution-free無公害.
370
1444000
4000
很乾淨幾乎零污染的能源。
24:24
You can measure測量 it again.
371
1448000
1000
你也可以再測量一次,
24:25
You can compare比較 how that building建造, in terms條款 of its emission排放
372
1449000
4000
比較這棟建築
24:29
in tons of carbon dioxide二氧化碳 per year --
373
1453000
2000
每年的二氧化碳排量--
24:31
at the time that we took that project項目, over 7,000 tons --
374
1455000
4000
在建案開始時是7000公噸以上,
24:35
what it would have been with natural自然 gas加油站
375
1459000
1000
使用天然氣之後又少了多少?
24:36
and finally最後, with the vegetable蔬菜 oil, 450 tons.
376
1460000
3000
最後使用植物油後只剩450公噸,
24:39
I mean, a 94 percent百分 reduction減少 -- virtually實質上 clean清潔.
377
1463000
3000
減少了94%--幾乎是零污染。
24:42
We can see the same相同 processes流程 at work
378
1466000
2000
我們可以看到同樣的設計,
24:44
in terms條款 of the Commerce商業 Bank銀行 --
379
1468000
2000
在康美銀行也奏效--
24:46
its dependence依賴 on natural自然 ventilation通風,
380
1470000
2000
仰賴自然通風,
24:48
the way that you can model模型 those gardens花園,
381
1472000
2000
你可以模擬那些花園
24:50
the way they spiral螺旋 around.
382
1474000
2000
旋轉的造型。
24:52
But again, very much about the lifestyle生活方式, the quality質量 --
383
1476000
4000
同樣又是跟生活品味及品質有關--
24:56
something that would be more enjoyable其樂融融 as a place地點 to work.
384
1480000
4000
一個讓人更能樂在工作的地方。
25:00
And again, we can measure測量 the reduction減少
385
1484000
2000
而且還是能夠測量
25:02
in terms條款 of energy能源 consumption消費.
386
1486000
4000
其中的節能效果。
25:06
There is an evolution演化 here between之間 the projects項目,
387
1490000
2000
在這些建案之間有個革命,
25:08
and Swiss瑞士人 Re回覆 again develops發展 that a little bit further進一步 --
388
1492000
5000
Swiss Re再次進展得更多一點。
25:13
the project項目 in the city in London倫敦.
389
1497000
2000
這是在倫敦市中心的建案,
25:15
And this sequence序列 shows節目 the buildup建立 of that model模型.
390
1499000
4000
這一連串的圖片將呈現模擬的過程,
25:19
But what it shows節目 first, which哪一個 I think is quite相當 interesting有趣,
391
1503000
3000
可是我發現有趣的是,首先它先呈現
25:22
is that here you see the circle, you see the public上市 space空間 around it.
392
1506000
5000
你現在看見的圓圈及周圍的公共空間,
25:27
What are the other ways方法 of putting
393
1511000
2000
還有哪些方法,
25:29
the same相同 amount of space空間 on the site現場?
394
1513000
3000
可以將同樣大的空間放在那地點呢?
25:32
If, for example, you seek尋求 to do a building建造
395
1516000
4000
例如,你想要蓋一棟大樓,
25:36
which哪一個 goes right to the edge邊緣 of the pavement路面,
396
1520000
5000
以人行步道為界線,
25:41
it's the same相同 amount of space空間.
397
1525000
3000
可營造出同樣大的空間。
25:44
And finally最後, you profile輪廓 this, you cut grooves凹槽 into it.
398
1528000
5000
最後,你描繪出一個輪廓切出紋路,
25:49
The grooves凹槽 become成為 the kind of green綠色 lungs
399
1533000
3000
那些紋路變成類似綠色的肺,
25:52
which哪一個 give views意見, which哪一個 give light, ventilation通風,
400
1536000
4000
提供眺望的景觀光線、通風作用,
25:56
make the building建造 fresher清新.
401
1540000
2000
讓建築看來更新穎。
25:58
And you enclose that with something that also
402
1542000
3000
然後,你用對外表也有修飾作用的東西,
26:01
is central中央 to its appearance出現,
403
1545000
3000
將整棟建築包起來,
26:04
which哪一個 is a mesh網孔 of triangulated三角 structures結構 --
404
1548000
4000
那就是三角形的網狀體--
26:08
again, in a long connection連接 evocative喚起的 of
405
1552000
3000
再次與一些巴克明斯特·福勒的作品,
26:11
some of those works作品 of Buckminster巴克明斯特 Fuller富勒,
406
1555000
3000
跨越時空互相呼應,
26:14
and the way in which哪一個 triangulation三角 can increase增加 performance性能
407
1558000
4000
而三角形的設計可提高性能,
26:18
and also give that building建造 its sense of identity身分.
408
1562000
5000
也給予這建築獨特的身分辨識度。
26:23
And here, if we look at a detail詳情 of the way
409
1567000
3000
假如,我們仔細看這建築
26:26
that the building建造 opens打開 up and breathes吐氣 into those atria心房,
410
1570000
3000
如何向上伸展,空氣在中庭的流通,
26:29
the way in which哪一個 now, with a computer電腦, we can model模型 the forces軍隊,
411
1573000
5000
現在利用電腦,我們可以模擬力度,
26:34
we can see the high pressure壓力, the low pressure壓力,
412
1578000
3000
看到高氣壓、低氣壓,
26:37
the way in which哪一個 the building建造 behaves的行為 rather like an aircraft飛機 wing翅膀.
413
1581000
4000
建築本身就像機翼一樣運作。
26:41
So it also has the ability能力, all the time,
414
1585000
3000
它也有能力在任何時候,
26:44
regardless而不管 of the direction方向 of the wind,
415
1588000
2000
不管風向如何,
26:46
to be able能夠 to make the building建造 fresh新鮮 and efficient高效.
416
1590000
5000
讓建築維持通風和高效能。
26:51
And unlike不像 conventional常規 buildings房屋,
417
1595000
3000
跟傳統建築不一樣的是,
26:54
the top最佳 of the building建造 is celebratory慶祝.
418
1598000
2000
建築的頂端是讓人愉悅的空間。
26:56
It's a viewing觀看 place地點 for people, not machinery機械.
419
1600000
3000
它是一個觀景台,而不是機械室,
26:59
And the base基礎 of the building建造 is again about public上市 space空間.
420
1603000
4000
而建築的底層,也同樣是公共空間。
27:03
Comparing對比 it with a typical典型 building建造,
421
1607000
2000
跟典型的建築比較,
27:05
what happens發生 if we seek尋求 to use such這樣 design設計 strategies策略
422
1609000
5000
如果我們嘗試採用這樣的設計策略,
27:10
in terms條款 of really large-scale大規模 thinking思維?
423
1614000
4000
並應用在大規模的思考上會如何呢 ?
27:14
And I'm just going to give two images圖片
424
1618000
2000
我將分享兩張
27:16
out of a kind of company公司 research研究 project項目.
425
1620000
6000
類似公司調查計畫的圖片。
27:22
It's been well known已知 that the Dead Sea is dying垂死.
426
1626000
6000
眾所皆知死海正在死亡,
27:28
The level水平 is dropping落下, rather like the Aral鹹海 Sea.
427
1632000
4000
海平面正在下降有點像鹹海,
27:32
And the Dead Sea is obviously明顯 much lower降低
428
1636000
4000
死海的海平面顯然比
27:36
than the oceans海洋 and seas海域 around it.
429
1640000
4000
周圍的海洋還低,
27:40
So there has been a project項目 which哪一個 rescues救援 the Dead Sea
430
1644000
4000
於是就出現了一個拯救死海的計畫。
27:44
by creating創建 a pipeline管道, a pipe,
431
1648000
4000
設置運輸管,
27:48
sometimes有時 above以上 the surface表面, sometimes有時 buried隱藏,
432
1652000
3000
有時浮現、有時潛藏,
27:51
that will redress糾正 that, and will feed飼料 from the Gulf海灣 of Aqaba亞喀巴
433
1655000
6000
從阿卡巴灣輸送水來補救
27:57
into the Dead Sea.
434
1661000
2000
死海的海平面。
27:59
And our translation翻譯 of that,
435
1663000
1000
我們的想法是,
28:00
using運用 a lot of the thinking思維 built內置 up over the 40 years年份, is to say,
436
1664000
5000
應用過去40年來累積的知識,
28:05
what if that, instead代替 of being存在 just a pipe,
437
1669000
3000
如果不要用輸送管線,
28:08
what if it is a lifeline生命線?
438
1672000
2000
而是創造一條生命線呢?
28:10
What if it is the equivalent當量, depending根據 on where you are,
439
1674000
4000
假使這跟大運河一樣取決於
28:14
of the Grand盛大 Canal運河,
440
1678000
2000
你所在的位置,
28:16
in terms條款 of tourists遊客, habitation住所, desalination海水淡化, agriculture農業?
441
1680000
5000
就觀光客、居住環境、海水、淡化農業來看?
28:21
In other words, water is the lifeblood命脈.
442
1685000
2000
換句話說,水就是命脈。
28:23
And if you just go back to the previous以前 image圖片,
443
1687000
3000
如果回到剛才的圖片,
28:26
and you look at this area of volatility揮發性 and hostility敵意,
444
1690000
4000
你看到這個反覆無常且敵對的地區,
28:30
that a unifying統一 design設計 idea理念 as a humanitarian人道主義 gesture手勢
445
1694000
6000
一個有如人道主義的整合設計概念,
28:36
could have the affect影響 of bringing使 all those warring交戰 factions派系 together一起
446
1700000
4000
很可能將敵對的派系因共同理想聚集在一起,
28:40
in a united聯合的 cause原因, in terms條款 of something that would be
447
1704000
4000
在最廣泛的意義上,
28:44
genuinely真正的 green綠色 and productive生產的 in the widest最寬 sense.
448
1708000
6000
用完全環保且有生產力的建設來解決。
28:50
Infrastructure基礎設施 at that large scale規模 is also
449
1714000
2000
如此龐大的基礎建設
28:52
inseparable形影不離 from communication通訊.
450
1716000
5000
不能避免溝通,
28:57
And whether是否 that communication通訊 is the virtual虛擬 world世界
451
1721000
3000
無論那溝通是在虛擬
29:00
or it is the physical物理 world世界,
452
1724000
1000
或實體的世界,
29:01
then it's absolutely絕對 central中央 to society社會.
453
1725000
3000
對社會來說都是核心重點,
29:04
And how do we make more legible清晰 in this growing生長 world世界,
454
1728000
5000
在不斷成長的世界裡,我們如何更清楚地表達,
29:09
especially特別 in some of the places地方 that I'm talking about --
455
1733000
4000
尤其是在我討論的一些地方--
29:13
China中國, for example, which哪一個 in the next下一個 ten years年份
456
1737000
2000
例如,中國在未來的十年,
29:15
will create創建 400 new airports機場.
457
1739000
4000
將會建設400座新的機場,
29:19
Now what form形成 do they take?
458
1743000
2000
那些機場將有什麼造型?
29:21
How do you make them more friendly友善 at that scale規模?
459
1745000
3000
你如何讓大規模的機場對環境更友善呢?
29:24
Hong香港 Kong I refer參考 to as a kind of analog類似物 experience經驗 in a digital數字 age年齡,
460
1748000
7000
香港機場,我形容它是一個在數位時代的類比體驗,
29:31
because you always have a point of reference參考.
461
1755000
2000
因為你總是會有參照標準。
29:33
So what happens發生 when we take that and you expand擴大 that further進一步
462
1757000
6000
如果我們將這點延伸擴大到
29:39
into the Chinese中文 society社會?
463
1763000
4000
中國社會會如何呢?
29:43
And what is interesting有趣 is that that produces產生 in a way
464
1767000
4000
有趣的是,結果將產生
29:47
perhaps也許 the ultimate最終 mega-building大型建築.
465
1771000
2000
一個終極的巨型建築。
29:49
It is physically物理 the largest最大 project項目 on the planet行星 at the moment時刻.
466
1773000
4000
這是目前地球上最大的建案。
29:53
250 -- excuse藉口 me, 50,000 people working加工 24 hours小時, seven days.
467
1777000
6000
250--抱歉!是五萬人每天工作24小時,
29:59
Larger較大的 by 17 percent百分 than every一切 terminal終奌站 put together一起
468
1783000
4000
比希司羅機場還要大17%,包括現有的航空站
30:03
at Heathrow希思羅機場 -- built內置 -- plus the new, un-built未建 Terminal終奌站 Five.
469
1787000
5000
及未建蓋的第五航空站。
30:08
And the challenge挑戰 here is a building建造 that will be green綠色,
470
1792000
4000
這當中的挑戰是要蓋一棟綠建築,
30:12
that is compact緊湊 despite儘管 its size尺寸
471
1796000
3000
儘管巨大還是要精簡,
30:15
and is about the human人的 experience經驗 of travel旅行,
472
1799000
5000
以人類的旅行體驗為訴求,
30:20
is about friendly友善, is coming未來 back to that starting開始 point,
473
1804000
5000
也強調友善的使用性,當然又回到原點:
30:25
is very, very much about the lifestyle生活方式.
474
1809000
2000
跟生活品味非常有關聯。
30:27
And perhaps也許 these, in the end結束, as celebratory慶祝 spaces空間.
475
1811000
6000
也許最後這將會是一個令人快樂的空間,
30:33
As Hubert休伯特 was talking over lunch午餐,
476
1817000
2000
如同修伯特在午餐跟我
30:35
as we sort分類 of engaged訂婚 in conversation會話,
477
1819000
2000
談到的,
30:37
talked about this, talked about cities城市.
478
1821000
2000
談論到環保及城市。
30:39
Hubert休伯特 was saying, absolutely絕對 correctly正確地, "These are the new cathedrals教堂."
479
1823000
5000
如同修伯特所說的而且完全正確,「這些是新的大教堂」。
30:44
And in a way, one aspect方面 of this conversation會話
480
1828000
4000
某程度來說,這段演講的某一部份
30:48
was triggered觸發 on New Year's年份 Eve前夕,
481
1832000
4000
是在除夕夜想到的。
30:52
when I was talking about the Olympic奧林匹克 agenda議程 in China中國
482
1836000
8000
當時我說到中國的奧運議題,
31:00
in terms條款 of its green綠色 ambitions野心 and aspirations願望.
483
1844000
5000
它的綠色理想與抱負。
31:05
And I was voicing清濁 the thought that --
484
1849000
2000
我說出自己的想法--
31:07
it just crossed越過 my mind心神 that New Year's年份 Eve前夕,
485
1851000
2000
在那除夕夜想到的,
31:09
a sort分類 of symbolic象徵 turning車削 point as we move移動 from 2006 to 2007 --
486
1853000
6000
那是從2006到2007的象徵性的轉捩點 ,
31:15
that maybe, you know, the future未來 was
487
1859000
2000
也許未來是
31:17
the most powerful強大, innovative創新 sort分類 of nation國家.
488
1861000
4000
最強、最創新的一種國家。
31:21
The way in which哪一個 somebody like Kennedy肯尼迪 inspirationallyinspirationally could say,
489
1865000
3000
像甘迺迪那樣說出啟發性的話,
31:24
"We put a man on the moon月亮."
490
1868000
1000
「我們把人放到月球上去」。
31:25
You know, who is going to say
491
1869000
2000
誰會來說,
31:27
that we cracked破解 this thing of the dependence依賴 on fossil化石 fuels燃料,
492
1871000
5000
我們突破了對石化燃料的依賴,
31:32
with all that being存在 held保持 to ransom贖金 by rogue流氓 regimes制度, and so on.
493
1876000
4000
擺脫惡棍政權掌控的價格等等,
31:36
And that's a concerted一致 platform平台.
494
1880000
2000
這是個商議好的平台。
31:38
It's more than one device設備, you know, it's renewable可再生.
495
1882000
3000
不只是一種裝置且可再生,
31:41
And I voiced濁音 the thought that maybe at the turn of the year,
496
1885000
4000
我說出一個想法,也許在進入新的一年時,
31:45
I thought that the inspiration靈感 was more likely容易
497
1889000
2000
我覺得這些啟發性的創想
31:47
to come from those other, larger countries國家 out there --
498
1891000
2000
將很可能來自其他更大的國家--
31:49
the Chinas中國, the Indias印度, the Asian-Pacific亞太 tigers老虎.
499
1893000
4000
如中國、印度及亞太老虎們。
31:53
Thank you very much.
500
1897000
2000
謝謝各位!

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Norman Foster - Architect
Sir Norman Foster, winner of the 1999 Pritzker Prize, is perhaps the leading urban stylist of our age. His elegant, efficient buildings grace cities around the globe.

Why you should listen

From museums and banks to airports and bridges, from apartment buildings to the Reichstag, in the past 35 years Norman Foster's beautiful and efficient designs have dramatically changed the character of cities (think of the London Gherkin) and landscapes (the Viaduc de Millau) around the world.

A common philosophy connects all of them, starting with social responsiveness and the use of natural resources (ventilation, light). Some of Foster's work has sparked controversy (such as his pyramid in Astana, Kazakhstan), but he has never ignored a chance to rewrite the rules of architecture, be it by tackling audaciously huge construction projects or by designing wind turbines and partly-solar-powered electric buses.
