Why grow homes? Because we can.

3000
Per què construir llars? Perquè podem.
00:19
Right now, America is in an unremitting state of trauma.
1
4000
3000
Ara mateix, Estats Units està en un estat constant de trauma.
00:22
And there's a cause for that, all right.
2
7000
2000
I hi ha una raó per això;
00:24
We've got McPeople, McCars, McHouses.
3
9000
3000
Tenim McGent, McCotxes, McCases.
00:27
As an architect, I have to confront something like this.
4
12000
3000
Com a arquitecte, haig de confrontar una situació així.
00:30
So what's a technology that will allow us
5
15000
2000
Així doncs, quina és la tecnologia que ens permetrà
00:32
to make ginormous houses?
6
17000
2000
construir cases enormes?
00:34
Well, it's been around for 2,500 years.
7
19000
3000
Bé, ha estat rondant durant 2500 anys.
00:37
It's called pleaching, or grafting trees together,
8
22000
3000
És l'anomenat "pleaching", o empeltar arbres entre si,
00:40
or grafting inosculate matter into one contiguous, vascular system.
9
25000
3000
o injertar matèria per anastomosi en un sistema vascular contigu.
00:43
And we do something different
10
28000
2000
I fem una cosa diferent
00:45
than what we did in the past;
11
30000
2000
al que hem fet en el passat.
00:47
we add kind of a modicum of intelligence to that.
12
32000
2000
Afegim un mínim d'intel.ligència a la tècnica.
00:49
We use CNC to make scaffolding
13
34000
2000
Fem servir màquines de control numèric per les bastides
00:51
to train semi-epithetic matter, plants,
14
36000
2000
per emmotllar la matèria semi-epitètica, les plantes,
00:53
into a specific geometry
15
38000
2000
en una geometria específica
00:55
that makes a home that we call a Fab Tree Hab.
16
40000
3000
que conformi una llar que anomenem Fab Tree Hab.
00:58
It fits into the environment. It is the environment.
17
43000
2000
S'adapta al medi ambient. És el medi ambient.
01:00
It is the landscape, right?
18
45000
2000
És el paisatge, oi?
01:02
And you can have a hundred million of these homes,
19
47000
2000
I podem tenir 100 milions d'aquestes cases
01:04
and it's great because they suck carbon.
20
49000
2000
I és genial, perquè absorbeixen carboni
01:06
They're perfect.
21
51000
2000
Són perfectes.
01:08
You can have 100 million families, or take things out of the suburbs,
22
53000
3000
Hi poden haver 100 milions de famílies, o treure coses dels suburbis
01:11
because these are homes that are a part of the environment.
23
56000
3000
perquè són cases que formen part del medi
01:14
Imagine pre-growing a village --
24
59000
2000
Imaginin pre-conrear un poble;
01:16
it takes about seven to 10 years --
25
61000
2000
porta entre 7 i 1o anys,
01:18
and everything is green.
26
63000
3000
i és tot verd.
01:21
So not only do we do the veggie house,
27
66000
3000
Però no fem només la casa vegetal,
01:24
we also do the in-vitro meat habitat,
28
69000
3000
també fem l'habitat de carn in-vitro
01:27
or homes that we're doing research on now in Brooklyn,
29
72000
3000
o habitatges sobre els quals estem investigant ara a Brooklyn,
01:30
where, as an architecture office, we're for the first of its kind
30
75000
3000
on, com a estudi d'arquitectura, fou el primer del seu tipus
01:33
to put in a molecular cell biology lab
31
78000
3000
en posar un laboratori de biologia molecular
01:36
and start experimenting with regenerative medicine
32
81000
2000
i començar a experimentar amb medicina regenerativa
01:38
and tissue engineering
33
83000
2000
i enginyeria de teixits
01:40
and start thinking about what the future would be
34
85000
2000
i començar a pensar com seria el futur
01:42
if architecture and biology became one.
35
87000
2000
si arquitectura i biologia esdevinguessin un de sol.
01:44
So we've been doing this for a couple of years, and that's our lab.
36
89000
3000
Així que hem fet això durant un parell d'anys, i aquest és el nostre laboratori.
01:47
And what we do is we grow
37
92000
2000
I el que fem és conrear
01:49
extracellular matrix from pigs.
38
94000
2000
matriu extracel·lular del porc.
01:51
We use a modified inkjet printer,
39
96000
2000
Utilitzem una impresora d'injecció de tinta modificada.
01:53
and we print geometry.
40
98000
2000
I imprimim geometria
01:55
We print geometry where we can make industrial design objects
41
100000
3000
sobre la qual podem fer dissenys industrials d'objectes
01:58
like, you know, shoes, leather belts,
42
103000
2000
com, ja saben, sabates, cinturons de cuir,
02:00
handbags, etc.,
43
105000
2000
bosses, etc.,
02:02
where no sentient creature is harmed.
44
107000
2000
on cap criatura sensible és malmesa.
02:04
It's victimless. It's meat from a test tube.
45
109000
2000
No hi ha víctimes: és carn d'un tub d'assaig.
02:06
So our theory is that eventually
46
111000
2000
Per això la nostra teoría és que amb el temps
02:08
we should be doing this with homes.
47
113000
2000
hauríem de fer això amb els habitatges.
02:10
So here is a typical stud wall,
48
115000
2000
Heus aquí un típic mur de càrrega
02:12
an architectural construction,
49
117000
2000
i la construcció arquitectònica.
02:14
and this is a section
50
119000
2000
I aquesta és una secció
02:16
of our proposal for a meat house,
51
121000
2000
de la nostra proposta per a una casa de carn,
02:18
where you can see we use fatty cells as insulation,
52
123000
2000
on podeu veure com utilitzem cèl·lules grasses per aïllament,
02:20
cilia for dealing with wind loads
53
125000
2000
cilis per tractar amb els corrents d'aire
02:22
and sphincter muscles for the doors and windows.
54
127000
3000
i músculs d'esfínter per les portes i finestres.
02:25
(Laughter)
55
130000
3000
(Rialles)
02:28
And we know it's incredibly ugly.
56
133000
2000
I sabem que és increïblement lleig.
02:30
It could have been an English Tudor or Spanish Colonial,
57
135000
3000
Podria haver estat un tudor anglès o un colon espanyol,
02:33
but we kind of chose this shape.
58
138000
2000
però ens vam decantar per aquesta forma.
02:35
And there it is kind of grown, at least one particular section of it.
59
140000
3000
I aquí està, conreat, o almenys una secció particular d'aquest.
02:38
We had a big show in Prague,
60
143000
2000
Vam tenir un gran show a Praga.
02:40
and we decided to put it in front of the cathedral
61
145000
2000
Vam decidir col·locar-lo davant de la catedral
02:42
so religion can confront the house of meat.
62
147000
3000
perquè la religió pogués confrontar la casa de carn.
02:45
That's why we grow homes. Thanks very much.
63
150000
2000
És per això que conreem cases. Moltes gràcies
02:47
(Applause)
64
