Autor Sam Martin prikazuje fotografije nepredvidljivog svijeta hobija koji se poklapa s XY generacijom: "muški prostori." (To su po mjeri rađena mjesta za svratište gdje muškarac može tvrditi svoj dio teritorija koji mu je potreban za rad, odmor, da bude svoj.) Uzmite jedno hladno i uživajte.

So, I am indeed going to talk about
0
0
3000
Dakle, doista ću pričati o
00:18
the spaces men create for themselves,
1
3000
2000
prostorima koje muškarci kreiraju za sebe.
00:20
but first I want to tell you why I'm here.
2
5000
2000
Ali prvo vam želim reći zašto sam ovdje.
00:22
I'm here for two reasons. These two guys
3
7000
2000
Ovdje sam iz dva razloga. Ova dva momka
00:24
are my two sons Ford and Wren.
4
9000
3000
su moja dva sina Ford i Wren.
00:27
When Ford was about three years old,
5
12000
2000
Kada su Fordu bile tri godine,
00:29
we shared a very small room together,
6
14000
2000
dijelili smo jednu malenu sobu zajedno,
00:31
in a very small space.
7
16000
2000
u jako malom prostoru.
00:33
My office was on one half of the bedroom,
8
18000
2000
Moj ured je bio na jednoj polovici spavaće sobe.
00:35
and his bedroom was on the other half.
9
20000
2000
A njegova spavaća soba je bila na drugoj polovici.
00:37
And you can imagine, if you're a writer,
10
22000
2000
I možete zamisliti, ako ste pisac,
00:39
that things would get really crowded around deadlines.
11
24000
3000
kako će stvari biti stvarno tijesne oko rokova.
00:42
So when Wren was on the way,
12
27000
2000
Dakle, kada je Wren bio na putu,
00:44
I realized I needed to find a space of my own.
13
29000
2000
shvatio sam kako moram pronaći prostor za sebe.
00:46
There was no more space in the house. So I went out to the backyard,
14
31000
3000
U kući više nije bilo mjesta. Stoga sam otišao u dvorište.
00:49
and without any previous building experience,
15
34000
2000
I bez ikakvog prethodnog iskustva u graditeljstvu,
00:51
and about 3,000 dollars and some
16
36000
2000
i oko 3.000 dolara i nešto
00:53
recycled materials, I built this space.
17
38000
2000
recikliranog materijala, sagradio sam ovaj prostor.
00:55
It had everything I needed. It was quiet.
18
40000
3000
Imao je sve što mi je trebalo. Bilo je mirno.
00:58
There was enough space. And I had control, which was very important.
19
43000
3000
Bilo je dovoljno prostora. I imao sam kontrolu, što je bilo jako važno.
01:01
As I was building this space, I thought
20
46000
2000
Kako sam gradio taj prostor, pomislio sam
01:03
to myself, "Surely I'm not the only guy
21
48000
2000
u sebi, "Sigurno nisam jedini čovjek
01:05
to have to have carved out a space for his own."
22
50000
3000
koji je napravio prostor samo za sebe."
01:08
So I did some research.
23
53000
2000
Stoga sam proveo istraživanje.
01:10
And I found that there was an historic precedence.
24
55000
2000
I otkrio sam kako je postojala povijest.
01:12
Hemingway had his writing space.
25
57000
2000
Hemingway je imao svoje mjesto za pisanje.
01:14
Elvis had two or three manspaces,
26
59000
2000
Elvis je imao dva ili tri muška prostora,
01:16
which is pretty unique because he lived with both his wife and his mother in Graceland.
27
61000
4000
što je poprilično jedinstveno jer je živio u Gracelandu i sa svojom ženom i majkom.
01:20
In the popular culture, Superman had the Fortress of Solitude,
28
65000
4000
U popularnoj kulturi, Superman je imao Utvrdu samoće.
01:24
and there was, of course, the Batcave.
29
69000
3000
I zatim postoji, naravno, Batmanova špilja.
01:27
So I realized then that I wanted to go out on a journey
30
72000
4000
Dakle, shvatio sam kako želim ići na putovanje
01:31
and see what guys were creating for themselves now.
31
76000
3000
i vidjeti što sve muškarci kreiraju za sebe sada.
01:34
Here is one of the first spaces I found. It is in Austin, Texas,
32
79000
2000
Ovo je jedan od prvih prostora koje sam pronašao. To je u Austinu, Teksas.
01:36
which is where I'm from.
33
81000
2000
Otkud sam i ja.
01:38
On the outside it looks like a very typical garage, a nice garage.
34
83000
3000
Izvana izgleda kao tipična garaža, lijepa garaža.
01:41
But on the inside, it's anything but.
35
86000
2000
Ali unutra, to je sve osim garaže.
01:43
And this, to me, is a pretty classic manspace.
36
88000
2000
A to je, za mene, prilično klasičan muški prostor.
01:45
It has neon concert posters, a bar
37
90000
4000
Ima neonske postere s koncerata, bar,
01:49
and, of course, the leg lamp,
38
94000
2000
i naravno, svjetiljku u obliku noge,
01:51
which is very important.
39
96000
2000
što je jako važno.
01:53
I soon realized that manspaces didn't have to be only inside.
40
98000
3000
Ubrzo sam shvatio da muški prostori ne moraju biti samo unutra.
01:56
This guy built a bowling alley in his backyard,
41
101000
3000
Ovaj čovjek je sagradio kuglanu u svom dvorištu,
01:59
out of landscaping timbers, astroturf.
42
104000
2000
od rezbarenog drveta, sintetičkog poda.
02:01
And he found the scoreboard in the trash.
43
106000
3000
I pronašao je ploču za rezultate u smeću.
02:04
Here's another outdoor space, a little bit more sophisticated.
44
109000
2000
Ovo je još jedan vanjski prostor, malo sofisticiraniji.
02:06
This a 1923 wooden tugboat,
45
111000
3000
Ovo je drveni tegljač iz 1923. godine,
02:09
made completely out of Douglas fir.
46
114000
2000
napravljen u potpunosti od Douglasove jele.
02:11
The guy did it all himself.
47
116000
2000
Ovaj čovjek je sve to sam napravio.
02:13
And there is about 1,000 square feet of hanging-out space inside.
48
118000
4000
I ima oko 100 četvornih metara prostora za druženje unutra.
02:17
So, pretty early on in my investigations
49
122000
3000
Dakle, prilično rano u svojim istragama
02:20
I realized what I was finding was not what I expected to find,
50
125000
3000
shvatio sam da ono što pronalazim nije ono što sam očekivao da ću naći,
02:23
which was, quite frankly, a lot of beer can pyramids
51
128000
2000
a to je bilo, iskreno, prepuno piramida od limenki piva
02:25
and overstuffed couches and flat-screen TVs.
52
130000
3000
prenatrpani dvosjedi i ravni TV ekrani.
02:28
There were definitely hang-out spots.
53
133000
2000
Definitivno su postojala mjesta za svratište.
02:30
But some were for working, some were for playing,
54
135000
3000
Ali neka su bila za rad, neka za igru,
02:33
some were for guys to collect their things.
55
138000
3000
neka su bila za muškarce koji skupljaju stvari.
02:36
Most of all, I was just surprised with what I was finding.
56
141000
3000
Prije svega, bio sam jednostavno iznenađen s onim što sam pronalazio.
02:39
Take this place for example.
57
144000
2000
Uzmite ovo mjesto na primjer.
02:41
On the outside it looks like a typical northeastern garage.
58
146000
2000
Izvana izgleda kao tipična sjevernoistočnjačka garaža.
02:43
This is in Long Island, New York.
59
148000
2000
To je u Long Islandu, New Yorku.
02:45
The only thing that might tip you off is the round window.
60
150000
3000
Jedina stvar koja bi vam mogla nešto otkriti je okrugli prozor.
02:48
On the inside it's a recreation of a
61
153000
2000
Iznutra je preslika
02:50
16th century Japanese tea house.
62
155000
3000
Japanske čajne kuće iz 16. stoljeća.
02:53
The man imported all the materials from Japan,
63
158000
2000
Čovjek je doveo sav materijal iz Japana,
02:55
and he hired a Japanese carpenter
64
160000
3000
i umajmio je Japanskog stolara
02:58
to build it in the traditional style.
65
163000
2000
da mu je sagradi u tradicionalnom stilu.
03:00
It has no nails or screws.
66
165000
2000
Nema čavle ili vijke.
03:02
All the joints are hand-carved and hand-scribed.
67
167000
3000
Svi zglobovi su ručno izrezbareni i ručno namješteni.
03:05
Here is another pretty typical scene. This is a suburban Las Vegas neighborhood.
68
170000
3000
Ovdje je još jedna prilično tipična scena. Ovo je četvrt u predgrađu Las Vegasa.
03:08
But you open one of the garage doors
69
173000
3000
Ali otvorite jedna garažna vrata
03:11
and there is a professional-size boxing ring inside.
70
176000
3000
i unutra se nalazi boksački ring profesionalne veličine.
03:14
(Laughter)
71
179000
1000
(Smijeh)
03:15
And so there is a good reason for this.
72
180000
2000
I tako za to postoji i dobar razlog.
03:17
It was built by this man who is Wayne McCullough.
73
182000
2000
Sagradio ga je ovaj čovjek koji je Wayne McCullough.
03:19
He won the silver medal for Ireland
74
184000
2000
Osvojio je srebrnu medalju za Irsku
03:21
in the 1992 Olympics,
75
186000
2000
na Olimpijadi 1992. godine.
03:23
and he trains in this space. He trains other people.
76
188000
3000
I on trenira u tom prostoru. On trenira druge ljude.
03:26
And right off the garage he has his own trophy room
77
191000
3000
A odmah do garaže ima svoju sobu s trofejima
03:29
where he can sort of bask in his accomplishments,
78
194000
2000
gdje se može naslađivati u svojim postignućima,
03:31
which is another sort of important part about a manspace.
79
196000
3000
što je još jedan prilično važan dio muških prostora.
03:34
So, while this space represents someone's profession,
80
199000
3000
Dakle, dok ovaj prostor predstavlja nečiju profesiju,
03:37
this one certainly represents a passion.
81
202000
2000
ovaj definitivno predstavlja strast.
03:39
It's made to look like the inside of an English sailing ship.
82
204000
3000
Napravljen je da izgleda poput unutrašnjosti engleskog jedrenjaka.
03:42
It's a collection of nautical antiques from the 1700s and 1800s.
83
207000
3000
To je zbirka nautičkih antikviteta iz 1700-ih i 1800-ih.
03:45
Museum quality.
84
210000
2000
Muzejske kvalitete.
03:47
So, as I came to the end of my journey,
85
212000
2000
Dakle, kako sam došao na kraj svog putovanja,
03:49
I found over 50 spaces.
86
214000
2000
pronašao sam preko 50 muških prostora.
03:51
And they were unexpected and they were surprising.
87
216000
2000
I bili su neočekivani i iznenadili su me.
03:53
But they were also --
88
218000
2000
Ali ujedno su bili --
03:55
I was really impressed by how personalized they were,
89
220000
2000
bio sam doista impresioniran kako su personalizirani,
03:57
and how much work went into them.
90
222000
2000
i koliko rada je uloženo u njih.
03:59
And I realized that's because the guys that I met
91
224000
2000
I shvatio sam da je to zbog toga što su momci koje sam upoznao
04:01
were all very passionate about what they did.
92
226000
2000
bili jako strastveni oko toga što su radili.
04:03
And they really loved their professions.
93
228000
2000
I doista su voljeli svoja zanimanja.
04:05
And they were very passionate about their collections and their hobbies.
94
230000
2000
I gajili su veliku strast prema svojim zbirkama i hobijima.
04:07
And so they created these spaces
95
232000
2000
I stoga su stvorili te prostore
04:09
to reflect what they love to do,
96
234000
3000
kako bi odrazili što oni vole raditi,
04:12
and who they were.
97
237000
2000
i tko su oni.
04:14
So if you don't have a space of your own,
98
239000
2000
Dakle, ako još uvijek nemate svoj prostor,
04:16
I highly recommend finding one, and getting into it.
99
241000
2000
toplo preporučam da ga pronađete i uđete u njega.
04:18
Thank you very much.
100
243000
2000
Puno vam hvala.
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.
