35
111670

02:10
than going down the narrow staircase
to, say, an old pub,
to, say, an old pub,
37
118004

dibandingkan turun tangga yang sempit,
seperti di pub tua,

02:13
where you spill into the room.
38
121047

di mana Anda masuk ke ruangan.
02:14
There, you encounter tall risers,
so you move more quickly.

39
122720

Lalu, mendapati papan samping tinggi,
sehingga Anda bergerak lebih cepat.

02:18
Stairs add enormous drama.
40
126196
2117
Tangga menambah drama yang besar.
02:20
Think about how stairs
signaled a grand entrance

41
128337
3407
Pikirkan bagaimana tangga
menandakan pintu masuk yang megah,
menandakan pintu masuk yang megah,
02:23
and were the star of that moment.
42
131768
1855
dan merupakan bintang pada saat itu.
02:25
Stairs can even be heroic.
43
133647
1640
Bahkan tangga bisa menjadi heroik.
02:27
The staircase that remained standing
after September 11th

44
135311

Tangga yang masih bertahan
setelah tragedi 11 September,
setelah tragedi 11 September,
02:30
and the attack on the World Trade Center
45
138623
2016
dan penyerangan pada WTC
02:32
was dubbed the "Survivors' Staircase,"
46
140663
1872
disebut sebagai "Tangga yang Selamat,"
02:34
because it played such a central role
in leading hundreds of people to safety.

47
142559
4039
karena memainkan peranan utama
dalam menyelamatkan ratusan orang.

can have a huge impact, too.

48
147440

Tapi tangga kecil juga bisa
memiliki dampak besar.
memiliki dampak besar.
02:41
The stoop is a place
that invites neighbors to gather,

Jajaran tangga adalah tempat
yang mengajak orang berkumpul,
yang mengajak orang berkumpul,
02:44
blast music, and watch the city in motion.
50
152987
2734
memutar musik, dan menyaksikan kota hidup.
02:48
It's fascinating to me that you see people
wanting to hang out on the stairs.
wanting to hang out on the stairs.
51
156049
3669
Bagi saya, sangat menarik melihat
orang ingin berkumpul di tangga.
orang ingin berkumpul di tangga.
02:51
I think they fill
a deeply human need we have

02:56
to inhabit a space
more than just on the ground plane.

Jika Anda bisa duduk di atas sana,
03:05
you're in a kind of magical place.
