Hello, my name is Thomas Heatherwick.

3000
Dobrý deň, moje meno je Thomas Heatherwick.
00:18
I have a studio in London
1
3000
3000
Mám štúdio v Londýne,
00:21
that has a particular approach
2
6000
2000
ktoré má zvláštny prístup
00:23
to designing buildings.
3
8000
2000
k navrhovaniu budov.
00:25
When I was growing up,
4
10000
2000
Keď som vyrastal,
00:27
I was exposed to making
5
12000
3000
bol som priamo pri výrobe,
00:30
and crafts and materials
6
15000
3000
procese, materiáloch
00:33
and invention on a small scale.
7
18000
2000
a vynálezoch v malej mierke.
00:35
And I was there looking
8
20000
2000
A ja som sa pozeral
00:37
at the larger scale of buildings
9
22000
2000
na budovy vo väčších rozmeroch
00:39
and finding
10
24000
2000
a zistil som,
00:41
that the buildings that were around me
11
26000
2000
že budovy okolo mňa
00:43
and that were being designed
12
28000
3000
a tie, ktoré sa navrhujú
00:46
and that were there in the publications I was seeing
13
31000
4000
a tie, ktoré som videl na verejnosti,
00:50
felt soulless and cold.
14
35000
3000
vyvolávajú pocit chladu a sú ako bez duše.
00:53
And there on the smaller scale,
15
38000
2000
A v menšej mierke,
00:55
the scale of an earring
16
40000
2000
veľkosti náušnice
00:57
or a ceramic pot
17
42000
2000
alebo keramickej kanvice
00:59
or a musical instrument,
18
44000
2000
alebo hudobného nástroja
01:01
was a materiality and a soulfulness.
19
46000
3000
mali veci dušu.
01:04
And this influenced me.
20
49000
4000
A to ma ovplyvnilo.
01:08
The first building I built was 20 years ago.
21
53000
3000
Prvú budovu som postavil pred 20 rokmi.
01:11
And since, in the last 20 years,
22
56000
2000
A odvtedy, za posledných 20 rokov,
01:13
I've developed a studio in London.
23
58000
2000
som vybudoval štúdio v Londýne.
01:15
Sorry, this was my mother, by the way,
24
60000
2000
Toto je moja mama, mimochodom,
01:17
in her bead shop in London.
25
62000
2000
vo svojom obchodíku s korálkami v Londýne.
01:19
I spent a lot of time counting beads and things like that.
26
64000
3000
Strávil som tam veľa času rátaním korálok a podobných vecí.
01:22
I'm just going to show, for people who don't know my studio's work,
27
67000
3000
Len vám ukážem, pre tých, ktorí nepoznajú prácu môjho štúdia,
01:25
a few projects that we've worked on.
28
70000
3000
niekoľko projektov, na ktorých sme pracovali.
01:28
This is a hospital building.
29
73000
3000
Toto je nemocnica.
01:32
This is a shop for a bag company.
30
77000
3000
Toto je obchod pre firmu vyrábajúcu kabelky.
01:37
This is studios for artists.
31
82000
3000
Toto je ateliér pre umelcov.
01:42
This is a sculpture
32
87000
2000
Toto je socha
01:44
made from a million yards of wire
33
89000
2000
vyrobená z miliónu metrov vlákna
01:46
and 150,000 glass beads
34
91000
2000
a zo 150 000 sklenených korálok
01:48
the size of a golf ball.
35
93000
3000
veľkosti golfovej loptičky.
01:51
And this is a window display.
36
96000
3000
A toto je okno.
01:56
And this is pair of cooling towers
37
101000
2000
Toto je dvojica chladiacich veží
01:58
for an electricity substation
38
103000
2000
pre elektrickú stanicu
02:00
next to St. Paul's Cathedral in London.
39
105000
3000
pri Katedrále sv. Pavla v Londýne.
02:03
And this is a temple in Japan
40
108000
2000
Toto je chrám v Japonsku
02:05
for a Buddhist monk.
41
110000
3000
pre budhistického mnícha.
02:09
And this is a cafe by the sea
42
114000
2000
A toto je kaviareň pri mori
02:11
in Britain.
43
116000
2000
vo Veľkej Británii.
02:13
And just very quickly,
44
118000
2000
A len veľmi rýchlo,
02:15
something we've been working on very recently
45
120000
2000
nedávno sme začali pracovať
02:17
is we were commissioned by the mayor of London
46
122000
2000
z poverenia starostu Londýna
02:19
to design a new bus
47
124000
2000
na návrhu nového autobusu,
02:21
that gave the passenger
48
126000
3000
ktorý by dal cestujúcim
02:24
their freedom again.
49
129000
2000
opäť voľnosť.
02:26
Because the original Routemaster bus
50
131000
2000
Pretože pôvodný autobus Routemaster,
02:28
that some of you may be familiar with,
51
133000
2000
ktorý niektorí z vás možno poznajú,
02:30
which had this open platform at the back --
52
135000
2000
mal vzadu otvorenú platformu --
02:32
in fact, I think all our Routemasters
53
137000
2000
vlastne, myslím, že všetky naše Routemastery
02:34
are here in California now actually.
54
139000
2000
sú teraz v Kalifornii.
02:36
But they aren't in London.
55
141000
3000
Ale nie sú v Londýne.
02:39
And so you're stuck on a bus.
56
144000
2000
Takže ste v autobuse uväznení.
02:41
And if the bus is going to stop
57
146000
3000
A ak ide autobus zastaviť
02:44
and it's three yards away from the bus stop,
58
149000
3000
a je tri metre od zastávky,
02:47
you're just a prisoner.
59
152000
2000
ste ako väzeň.
02:49
But the mayor of London wanted to reintroduce
60
154000
2000
Ale starosta Londýna chce znovu zaviesť
02:51
buses with this open platform.
61
156000
3000
autobusy s otvorenou platformou.
02:54
So we've been working with Transport for London,
62
159000
4000
Takže pracujeme s Dopravným podnikom Londýna
02:58
and that organization
63
163000
2000
a táto organizácia
03:00
hasn't actually been responsible
64
165000
2000
nebola klientom
03:02
as a client for a new bus
65
167000
2000
pre nový autobus
03:04
for 50 years.
66
169000
2000
už 50 rokov.
03:06
And so we've been very lucky to have a chance to work.
67
171000
3000
Máme to šťastie, že s nimi môžeme spolupracovať.
03:09
The brief is that the bus should use 40 percent less energy.
68
174000
3000
V skratke, tento autobus by mal využívať o 40 percent menej energie.
03:12
So it's got hybrid drive.
69
177000
2000
Má hybridné poháňanie.
03:14
And we've been working
70
179000
2000
A pracujeme
03:16
to try to improve
71
181000
2000
na zlepšení
03:18
everything from the fabric
72
183000
2000
všetkého, od materiálu
03:20
to the format
73
185000
2000
cez tvar
03:22
and structure
74
187000
2000
a štruktúru
03:24
and aesthetics.
75
189000
2000
až po estetiku.
03:26
I was going to show four main projects.
76
191000
3000
Chcel som vám ukázať štyri hlavné projekty.
03:29
And this is a project for a bridge.
77
194000
3000
Toto je projekt mostu.
03:32
And so we were commissioned to design a bridge that would open.
78
197000
3000
Mali sme navrhnúť most, ktorý by sa otváral.
03:35
And openings seemed --
79
200000
2000
A otváranie sa zdá byť --
03:37
everyone loves opening bridges,
80
202000
2000
každý má rád otváracie mosty,
03:39
but it's quite a basic thing.
81
204000
3000
ale je to dosť základná vec.
03:42
I think we all kind of stand and watch.
82
207000
2000
Myslím, že všetci sa zastavíme a pozeráme sa.
03:44
But the bridges that we saw
83
209000
2000
Ale mosty, ktoré sme videli,
03:46
that opened and closed --
84
211000
3000
sa otvárali a zatvárali --
03:49
I'm slightly squeamish --
85
214000
4000
toto bude trochu chúlostivé,
03:53
but I once saw a photograph of a footballer
86
218000
3000
ale raz som videl fotografiu futbalistu,
03:56
who was diving for a ball.
87
221000
2000
ktorý sa naťahoval za loptou.
03:58
And as he was diving, someone had stamped on his knee,
88
223000
3000
A ako sa pohol dopredu, niekto mu stúpil na koleno,
04:01
and it had broken like this.
89
226000
3000
a mal ho takto zlomené.
04:04
And then we looked at these kinds of bridges
90
229000
4000
A keď sa pozriem na tento typ mostov,
04:08
and just couldn't help feeling
91
233000
2000
nemôžem si pomôcť, ale cítim,
04:10
that it was a beautiful thing that had broken.
92
235000
3000
ako by sa tá krásna vec zlomila.
04:13
And so this is in Paddington in London.
93
238000
3000
Toto je na Paddingtone v Londýne.
04:16
And it's a very boring bridge, as you can see.
94
241000
2000
Je to veľmi nudný most, ako vidíte.
04:18
It's just steel and timber.
95
243000
3000
Len oceľ a drevo.
04:24
But instead of what it is,
96
249000
3000
Ale namiesto toho, čo to je,
04:27
our focus was on the way it worked.
97
252000
4000
sme sa zamerali na to, ako to funguje.
04:35
(Applause)
98
260000
7000
(Potlesk)
04:42
So we liked the idea that the two farthest bits of it
99
267000
3000
Páčila sa nám myšlienka, že dva vzdialené konce
04:45
would end up kissing each other.
100
270000
3000
sa nakoniec pobozkajú.
04:50
(Applause)
101
275000
8000
(Potlesk)
04:58
We actually had to halve its speed,
102
283000
2000
Museli sme o polovicu znížiť rýchlosť,
05:00
because everyone was too scared when we first did it.
103
285000
2000
pretože každý sa zľakol, keď sme to pustili prvý raz.
05:02
So that's it speeded up.
104
287000
2000
Takto je to zrýchlené.
05:04
A project that we've been working on very recently
105
289000
3000
V poslednej dobe pracujeme
05:07
is to design a new biomass power station --
106
292000
3000
na návrhu novej elekrárne na biomasu --
05:10
so a power station that uses organic waste material.
107
295000
4000
teda takej, ktorá používa organický odpadový materiál.
05:14
In the news,
108
299000
2000
Podľa novín
05:16
the subject of where our future water is going to come from
109
301000
2000
bude z takej elektrárne pochádzať voda
05:18
and where our power is going to come from
110
303000
2000
aj elektrina, ktorú budeme
05:20
is in all the papers all the time.
111
305000
3000
používať v budúcnosti.
05:23
And we used to be quite proud of the way we generated power.
112
308000
4000
A kedysi sme boli hrdí na to, ako vyrábame elektrinu.
05:27
But recently,
113
312000
2000
Ale v poslednej dobe
05:29
any annual report of a power company
114
314000
3000
nemá žiadna výročná správa elektrárne
05:32
doesn't have a power station on it.
115
317000
2000
na obale elektráreň.
05:34
It has a child running through a field, or something like that.
116
319000
2000
Je tam dieťa bežiace cez pole alebo niečo podobné.
05:36
(Laughter)
117
321000
2000
(Smiech)
05:38
And so when a consortium of engineers approached us
118
323000
4000
Takže, keď nás kontaktovalo konzorcium inžinierov
05:42
and asked us to work with them on this power station,
119
327000
3000
s požiadavkou pracovať s nimi na tejto elektrárni,
05:45
our condition was that we would work with them
120
330000
2000
našou podmienkou bolo, že budeme spolupracovať
05:47
and that, whatever we did,
121
332000
2000
a že, čokoľvek nakoniec urobíme,
05:49
we were not just going to decorate a normal power station.
122
334000
5000
nebude to len ozdobenie normálnej elektrárne.
05:54
And instead, we had to learn -- we kind of forced them to teach us.
123
339000
3000
A namiesto toho, sme sa museli naučiť -- tak trochu sme ich donútili, aby nás učili.
05:57
And so we spent time traveling with them
124
342000
3000
Strávili sme veľa času cestovaním s nimi
06:00
and learning about all the different elements,
125
345000
2000
a učili sme sa o všetkých možných častiach
06:02
and finding that there were plenty of inefficiencies
126
347000
2000
a našli sme množstvo nedostatkov,
06:04
that weren't being capitalized on.
127
349000
2000
ktoré si predtým neuvedomili.
06:06
That just taking a field and banging all these things out
128
351000
3000
Vziať priestor a poskladať tam tie veci na hromadu,
06:09
isn't necessarily the most efficient way that they could work.
129
354000
3000
nie je nutne najefektívnejšií spôsob, ako to spraviť.
06:12
So we looked at how we could compose all those elements --
130
357000
5000
Pozreli sme sa na to, ako môžeme tie prvky spojiť --
06:17
instead of just litter, create one composition.
131
362000
3000
namiesto nahádzania na jednu kopu, vytvoriť kompozíciu.
06:20
And what we found --
132
365000
2000
A zistili sme --
06:22
this area is one of the poorest parts of Britain.
133
367000
2000
táto oblasť je jedna z najchudobnejších v Británii.
06:24
It was voted the worst place in Britain to live.
134
369000
3000
V hlasovaní ju zvolili za najhoršie miesto pre život v Británii.
06:27
And there are 2,000 new homes being built
135
372000
2000
A vedľa tejto elektrárne sa stavia
06:29
next to this power station.
136
374000
2000
2000 nových domov.
06:31
So it felt this has a social dimension.
137
376000
3000
Takže to má sociálnu dimenziu.
06:34
It has a symbolic importance.
138
379000
2000
Má to symbolický význam.
06:36
And we should be proud of where our power is coming from,
139
381000
3000
Mali by sme byť hrdí na to, odkiaľ pochádza naša energia,
06:39
rather than something we are necessarily ashamed of.
140
384000
3000
a nie sa za to hanbiť.
06:42
So we were looking at how we could make a power station,
141
387000
2000
A tak sme sa pozreli na to, ako postaviť elektráreň,
06:44
that, instead of keeping people out
142
389000
2000
ktorá by namiesto veľkého plotu naokolo,
06:46
and having a big fence around the outside,
143
391000
2000
ktorý ľudí odrádza,
06:48
could be a place that pulls you in.
144
393000
2000
bola miestom, ktoré ľudí priťahuje.
06:50
And it has to be --
145
395000
3000
Musí byť --
06:53
I'm trying to get my --
146
398000
2000
snažím sa spomenúť si --
06:55
250 feet high.
147
400000
3000
musí byť 60 metrov vysoká.
06:58
So it felt that what we could try to do
148
403000
3000
A tak sme si povedali, že sa pokúsime
07:01
is make a power park
149
406000
2000
urobiť elektro park,
07:03
and actually bring the whole area in,
150
408000
2000
a vtiahnuť celý priestor dnu
07:05
and using the spare soil that's there on the site,
151
410000
3000
a zvyšné miesto, ktoré je na pozemku,
07:08
we could make a power station that was silent as well.
152
413000
2000
využijeme na výstavby zvukovo izolovanej elektrárne.
07:10
Because just that soil
153
415000
2000
Pretože už len tá zemina
07:12
could make the acoustic difference.
154
417000
2000
ten hluk zníži.
07:14
And we also found that we could make a more efficient structure
155
419000
3000
A tiež sme zistili, že môžeme urobiť efektívnejšiu
07:17
and have a cost-effective way
156
422000
2000
a ekonomicky výhodnú štruktúru,
07:19
of making a structure to do this.
157
424000
2000
keď to bude vyzerať takto.
07:21
The finished project
158
426000
2000
Dokončený projekt
07:23
is meant to be more than just a power station.
159
428000
2000
bude viac ako len elektráreň.
07:25
It has a space where you could have a bar mitzvah at the top.
160
430000
3000
Je to miesto, kde môžete mať na vrchu bar mitzvah.
07:28
(Laughter)
161
433000
2000
(Smiech)
07:30
And it's a power park.
162
435000
4000
A je to aj park.
07:34
So people can come and really experience this
163
439000
2000
Takže ľudia môžu prísť
07:36
and also look out all around the area,
164
441000
3000
a poobzerať sa
07:39
and use that height that we have to have for its function.
165
444000
3000
a využiť tú výšku, ktorá tam kvôli funkcii musí byť.
07:42
In Shanghai,
166
447000
2000
Boli sme pozvaní
07:44
we were invited to build --
167
449000
2000
postaviť v Šanghaji --
07:46
well we weren't invited; what am I talking about.
168
451000
2000
teda, neboli sme pozvaní, čo to rozprávam.
07:48
We won the competition, and it was painful to get there.
169
453000
3000
Vyhrali sme konkurz a bola to fuška dostať sa tam.
07:51
(Laughter)
170
456000
4000
(Smiech)
07:55
So we won the competition to build the U.K. pavilion.
171
460000
3000
Takže sme vyhrali konkurz na návrh pavilónu Veľkej Británie.
07:58
And an expo
172
463000
2000
A výstava
08:00
is a totally bonkers thing.
173
465000
2000
je šialená vec.
08:02
There's 250 pavilions.
174
467000
3000
Je tam 250 pavilónov.
08:05
It's the world's biggest ever expo that had ever happened.
175
470000
4000
Bola to najväčšia svetová výstava, aká sa kedy uskutočnila.
08:09
So there are up to a million people there everyday.
176
474000
3000
Každý deň tam bolo viac ako milión návštevníkov.
08:12
And 250 countries all competing.
177
477000
2000
A všetkých 250 krajín medzi sebou súťažilo.
08:14
And the British government saying,
178
479000
2000
A britská vláda nám povedala,
08:16
"You need to be in the top five."
179
481000
2000
"Musíte byť v prvej päťke."
08:18
And so that became
180
483000
2000
A tak sa vládnym cieľom
08:20
the governmental goal --
181
485000
3000
stalo, ako môžete
08:23
is, how do you stand out in this chaos,
182
488000
3000
vyčnievať nad tým chaosom,
08:26
which is an expo of stimulus?
183
491000
4000
ktorým je svetová výstava?
08:30
So our sense was we had to do one thing,
184
495000
4000
Cítili sme, že sa musíme zamerať na jednu vec
08:34
and only one thing,
185
499000
3000
a len na jednu vec,
08:37
instead of trying to have everything.
186
502000
2000
namiesto snahy mať všetko.
08:39
And so what we also felt
187
504000
2000
A tiež sme cítili, že bez ohľadu na to,
08:41
was that whatever we did we couldn't do a cheesy advert for Britain.
188
506000
3000
čo nakoniec urobíme, nemôže to byť len trápna reklama na Britániu.
08:44
(Laughter)
189
509000
2000
(Smiech)
08:46
But the thing that was true,
190
511000
2000
Pravdou však bolo,
08:48
the expo was about the future of cities,
191
513000
2000
že výstava bola o budúcnosti miest
08:50
and particularly the Victorians
192
515000
2000
a predovšetkým vo viktoriánskom období
08:52
pioneered integrating nature into the cities.
193
517000
3000
sa príroda prvýkrát integrovala do miest.
08:55
And the world's first public park of modern times
194
520000
2000
Prvé verejné parky moderných čias na svete
08:57
was in Britain.
195
522000
2000
boli v Británii.
08:59
And the world's first major botanical institution
196
524000
3000
A prvá väčšia botanická inštitúcia
09:02
is in London,
197
527000
2000
bola založená v Londýne.
09:04
and they have this extraordinary project
198
529000
2000
A práve v nej majú neobyčajný projekt,
09:06
where they've been collecting 25 percent
199
531000
2000
v ktorom zbierajú 25 percent
09:08
of all the world's plant species.
200
533000
2000
všetkých druhov rastlín na svete.
09:10
So we suddenly realized that there was this thing.
201
535000
3000
Náhle sme si toto všetko uvedomili.
09:13
And everyone agrees that trees are beautiful,
202
538000
3000
A všetci súhlasili s tým, že stromy sú nádherné.
09:16
and I've never met anyone who says, "I don't like trees."
203
541000
2000
Nikdy som nestretol nikoho, kto by povedal, "Nemám rád stromy."
09:18
And the same with flowers.
204
543000
2000
A rovnaké je to s kvetinami.
09:20
I've never met anyone who says, "I don't like flowers."
205
545000
3000
Nikdy som nestretol nikoho, kto by povedal, "Nemám rád kvety."
09:23
But we realized that seeds --
206
548000
2000
Ale uvedomili sme si, že semienka --
09:25
there's been this very serious project happening --
207
550000
2000
ktorým sa tento projekt vážne venuje --
09:27
but that seeds --
208
552000
2000
ale tie semienka --
09:29
at these major botanical gardens,
209
554000
2000
v žiadnej veľkej botanickej záhrade
09:31
seeds aren't on show.
210
556000
2000
sa nevystavujú semienka.
09:33
But you just have to go to a garden center,
211
558000
2000
Nájdete ich len v záhradníckych centrách,
09:35
and they're in little paper packets.
212
560000
2000
kde sú v malých papierových vreckách.
09:37
But this phenomenal project's been happening.
213
562000
3000
Ale tento úžasný projekt prebieha.
09:40
So we realized we had to make a project
214
565000
2000
A tak sme si povedali, že urobíme projekt,
09:42
that would be seeds, some kind of seed cathedral.
215
567000
3000
ktorý bude o semienkach, nejaká katedrála semien.
09:45
But how could we show these teeny-weeny things?
216
570000
3000
Ale ako by sme mohli ukázať tieto malinké veci?
09:48
And the film "Jurassic Park" actually really helped us.
217
573000
3000
Pomohol nám film Jurský park.
09:51
Because the DNA of the dinosaur that was trapped in the amber
218
576000
3000
Pretože DNA dinosaura, ktorý bol uväznený v jantári,
09:54
gave us some kind of clue
219
579000
3000
nám vnukla nápad,
09:57
that these tiny things
220
582000
2000
že tieto malinké veci
09:59
could be trapped and be made to seem precious,
221
584000
2000
môžu byť zachytené takým spôsobom, aby vyzerali vzácne
10:01
rather than looking like nuts.
222
586000
3000
a nielen ako oriešky.
10:04
So the challenge was,
223
589000
2000
Výzvou teda bolo,
10:06
how are we going to bring light and expose these things?
224
591000
3000
ako ukážeme tieto veci vo svetle?
10:09
We didn't want to make a separate building and have separate content.
225
594000
3000
Nechceli sme urobiť osobitne budovu a potom do nej vložiť semienka.
10:12
So we were trying to think,
226
597000
2000
Rozmýšľali sme,
10:14
how could we make a whole thing emanate.
227
599000
3000
ako by mohla celá budova žiariť.
10:17
By the way, we had half the budget of the other Western nations.
228
602000
2000
Mimochodom, oproti západným krajinám sme mali polovičný rozpočet.
10:19
So that was also in the mix
229
604000
3000
A museli sme brať do úvahy,
10:22
with the site the size of a football pitch.
230
607000
2000
že máme k dispozícii priestor veľkosti futbalového ihriska.
10:24
And so there was one particular toy that gave us a clue.
231
609000
3000
Jedna hračka nám vnukla nápad.
10:27
(Video) Voice Over: The new Play-Doh Mop Top Hair Shop.
232
612000
3000
(Video) Dabing: Nový Play-Doh Mop Top Hair Shop.
10:30
Song: ♫ We've got the Mop Tops, the Play-Doh Mop Tops ♫
233
615000
3000
Pieseň: ♫ Máme Mop Tops, Play-Doh Mop Tops ♫
10:33
♫ Just turn the chair and grow Play-Doh hair ♫
234
618000
2000
♫ Len otoč stoličkou a Play-Doh bude mať dlhé vlasy ♫
10:35
♫ They're the Mop Tops ♫
235
620000
2000
♫ Sú to Mop Tops ♫
10:37
Thomas Heatherwick: Okay, you get the idea.
236
622000
2000
Thomas Heatherwick: Takže máte predstavu.
10:39
So the idea
237
624000
2000
Myšlienkou bolo
10:41
was to take these 66,000 seeds
238
626000
2000
vziať 66 000 semienok,
10:43
that they agreed to give us,
239
628000
2000
ktoré boli ochotní nám dať,
10:45
and to take each seed and trap it
240
630000
2000
a vziať každé z nich a uložiť ho
10:47
in this precious optical hair
241
632000
3000
v tomto vzácnom optickom vlákne.
10:50
and grow that through this box,
242
635000
3000
A pomocou tohto jednoduchého princípu
10:53
very simple box element,
243
638000
2000
ukázať semienka
10:55
and make it a building
244
640000
3000
a postaviť budovu,
10:58
that could move in the wind.
245
643000
2000
ktorá sa môže hýbať vo vetre.
11:00
So the whole thing can gently move when the wind blows.
246
645000
3000
Celá tá vec sa jemne pohybuje, keď zafúka vietor.
11:03
And inside, the daylight --
247
648000
2000
A vnútri, denné svetlo --
11:05
each one is an optic
248
650000
2000
každý z nich je optický
11:07
and it brings light into the center.
249
652000
2000
a privádza svetlo do stredu.
11:09
And by night,
250
654000
2000
A v noci
11:11
artificial light in each one
251
656000
2000
umelé osvetlenie v každom z nich
11:13
emanates and comes out to the outside.
252
658000
2000
žiari a svetlo vychádza von.
11:15
And to make the project affordable,
253
660000
3000
A aby sme si to mohli dovoliť,
11:18
we focused our energy.
254
663000
2000
sústredili sme sa na energiu.
11:20
Instead of building a building as big as the football pitch,
255
665000
2000
Namiesto stavby veľkosti futbalového ihriska
11:22
we focused it on this one element.
256
667000
3000
sme všetko zamerali na tento jeden prvok.
11:25
And the government agreed to do that
257
670000
3000
Vláda súhlasila, že urobíme to
11:28
and not do anything else,
258
673000
2000
a len to
11:30
and focus our energy on that.
259
675000
2000
a na to zameriame všetko naše úsilie.
11:32
And so the rest of the site was a public space.
260
677000
3000
A zvyšok priestoru bude verejným miestom.
11:35
And with a million people there a day,
261
680000
2000
Každý deň tam bolo milión návštevníkov,
11:37
it just felt like offering some public space.
262
682000
3000
chceli sme im dať trochu miesta.
11:40
We worked with an AstroTurf manufacturer
263
685000
3000
Spolupracovali sme s výrobcom umelých vlákien
11:43
to develop a mini-me version
264
688000
2000
a vyvinuli sme menšiu verziu
11:45
of the seed cathedral,
265
690000
2000
katedrály semien,
11:47
so that, even if you're partially-sighted,
266
692000
2000
aby aj čiastočne nevidiaci
11:49
that it was kind of crunchy and soft,
267
694000
3000
mohli vidieť tú štruktúru,
11:52
that piece of landscape that you see there.
268
697000
3000
krehkú a mäkkú.
11:55
And then, you know when a pet has an operation
269
700000
4000
Viete, keď ide zviera na operáciu,
11:59
and they shave a bit of the skin
270
704000
2000
oholia mu trochu kože
12:01
and get rid of the fur --
271
706000
2000
a zbavia ho srsti --
12:03
in order to get you to go into the seed cathedral,
272
708000
3000
podobne aj tu, aby sme sa dostali dovnútra katedrály,
12:06
in effect, we've shaved it.
273
711000
2000
trochu sme ju oholili.
12:08
And inside there's nothing;
274
713000
2000
A vnútri nie je nič,
12:10
there's no famous actor's voice;
275
715000
2000
žiadny hlas známeho herca,
12:12
there's no projections;
276
717000
2000
žiadne projekcie,
12:14
there's no televisions; there's no color changing.
277
719000
2000
žiadne obrazovky, žiadna meniaca sa farba,
12:16
There's just silence
278
721000
2000
je tam len ticho
12:18
and a cool temperature.
279
723000
3000
a chlad.
12:21
And if a cloud goes past,
280
726000
2000
A ak ponad ňu preletí oblak,
12:23
you can see a cloud on the tips
281
728000
2000
môžete ho vidieť na koncoch,
12:25
where it's letting the light through.
282
730000
3000
ktorými sa dostáva dovnútra svetlo.
12:31
This is the only project that we've done
283
736000
2000
Toto je jediný projekt,
12:33
where the finished thing
284
738000
2000
ktorý v skutočnosti vyzeral,
12:35
looked more like a rendering than our renderings.
285
740000
3000
akoby bol len zobrazený na počítači.
12:38
(Laughter)
286
743000
4000
(Smiech)
12:44
A key thing was how people would interact.
287
749000
3000
Kľúčovou otázkou bolo, ako budú ľudia reagovať.
12:47
I mean, in a way it was the most serious thing
288
752000
2000
Istým spôsobom je to najvážnejšia vec,
12:49
you could possible do at the expo.
289
754000
2000
akú môžete urobiť na výstave.
12:51
And I just wanted to show you.
290
756000
2000
Len som vám to chcel ukázať.
12:53
The British government --
291
758000
2000
Britská vláda --
12:55
any government is potentially the worst client in the world
292
760000
3000
akákoľvek vláda je najhorším možným klientom na svete,
12:58
you could ever possibly want to have.
293
763000
3000
akého kedy dostanete.
13:01
And there was a lot of terror.
294
766000
3000
Bola to hrôza.
13:04
But there was an underlying support.
295
769000
3000
Ale aj podpora.
13:07
And so there was a moment
296
772000
3000
A bola tam chvíľa,
13:10
when suddenly -- actually, the next thing.
297
775000
2000
kedy zrazu -- vlastne som chcel povedať niečo iné.
13:12
This is the head of U.K. Trade and Investment,
298
777000
3000
Toto je riaditeľ U.K. Trade and Investment,
13:15
who was our client,
299
780000
3000
ktorý bol naším klientom,
13:18
with the Chinese children, using the landscape.
300
783000
4000
a spolu s čínskymi deťmi sa zabáva v našom pavilóne.
13:22
(Video) Children: One, two, three, go.
301
787000
3000
(Video) Deti: Raz, dva, tri, ideš.
13:32
(Laughter)
302
797000
2000
(Smiech)
13:34
TH: I'm sorry about my stupid voice there.
303
799000
2000
TH: Ospravedlňujem sa za môj hlúpy hlas, ktorý tam počujete.
13:36
(Laughter)
304
801000
2000
(Smiech)
13:38
So finally, texture is something.
305
803000
3000
A nakoniec by som niečo povedal o štruktúre povrchu.
13:41
In the projects we've been working on,
306
806000
3000
V projektoch, na ktorých sme pracovali,
13:44
these slick buildings,
307
809000
2000
boli budovy hladké,
13:46
where they might be a fancy shape,
308
811000
3000
mali pekný tvar,
13:49
but the materiality feels the same,
309
814000
2000
ale materiál vyzerá stále rovnako.
13:51
is something that we've been trying to research really,
310
816000
4000
To sme chceli podrobne preskúmať
13:55
and explore alternatives.
311
820000
3000
a nájsť alternatívy.
13:58
And the project that we're building in Malaysia
312
823000
3000
A v jednom projekte v Malajzii staviame
14:01
is apartment buildings
313
826000
2000
bytové domy
14:03
for a property developer.
314
828000
2000
pre investora.
14:05
And it's in a piece of land
315
830000
2000
Na takomto kúsku zeme,
14:07
that's this site.
316
832000
2000
toto je pozemok.
14:09
And the mayor of Kuala Lumpur
317
834000
2000
A starosta Kuala Lumpur
14:11
said that, if this developer
318
836000
2000
povedal, že ak tento investor
14:13
would give something that gave something back to the city,
319
838000
3000
dá niečo naspäť mestu,
14:16
they would give them more gross floor area, buildable.
320
841000
3000
dajú mu viac pozemkov, na ktorých sa dá stavať.
14:19
So there was an incentive for the developer
321
844000
2000
To bol pre investora podnet
14:21
to really try to think about
322
846000
2000
naozaj porozmýšľať,
14:23
what would be better for the city.
323
848000
2000
čo by bolo pre mesto dobré.
14:25
And the conventional thing with apartment buildings
324
850000
2000
Bytové domy v tejto časti sveta
14:27
in this part of the world
325
852000
2000
vyzerajú obyčajne tak,
14:29
is you have your tower,
326
854000
2000
že máte vežu
14:31
and you squeeze a few trees around the edge,
327
856000
3000
a okolo nej dáte na kraj zopár stromov
14:34
and you see cars parked.
328
859000
2000
a na zvyšku parkujú autá.
14:36
It's actually only the first couple of floors that you really experience,
329
861000
3000
Všetko sa týka len prvých pár poschodí,
14:39
and the rest of it is just for postcards.
330
864000
3000
zvyšok je len kvôli pohľadniciam.
14:42
The lowest value is actually the bottom part of a tower like this.
331
867000
3000
Najmenej sú hodnotné byty v spodnej časti takejto budovy.
14:45
So if we could chop that away
332
870000
2000
Čo ak by sme ich odsekli
14:47
and give the building a small bottom,
333
872000
2000
a dali budove malú spodnú časť,
14:49
we could take that bit and put it at the top
334
874000
3000
a vzali by sme tento kúsok a dali ho navrch,
14:52
where the greater commercial value is for a property developer.
335
877000
3000
kde je pre investora komerčne výhodnejší.
14:55
And by linking these together,
336
880000
2000
A spojením týchto
14:57
we could have 90 percent of the site
337
882000
3000
mohlo 90 percent pozemku vyzerať
15:00
as a rainforest,
338
885000
2000
ako dažďový prales,
15:02
instead of only 10 percent of scrubby trees
339
887000
2000
namiesto 10 percent úbohých stromov
15:04
and bits of road around buildings.
340
889000
2000
a ciest okolo budovy.
15:06
(Applause)
341
891000
4000
(Potlesk)
15:10
So we're building these buildings.
342
895000
3000
Takže takéto budovy staviame.
15:13
They're actually identical, so it's quite cost-effective.
343
898000
3000
Sú vlastne rovnaké, takže je to ekonomicky výhodné.
15:16
They're just chopped at different heights.
344
901000
2000
Len sú nasekané v rôznych výškach.
15:18
But the key part
345
903000
2000
Ale kľúčovou časťou
15:20
is trying to give back an extraordinary piece of landscape,
346
905000
3000
je pokúšať sa vrátiť tento neobyčajný kúsok zeme
15:23
rather than engulf it.
347
908000
4000
namiesto toho, aby sme ho len pohltili.
15:28
And that's my final slide.
348
913000
3000
A to je môj posledný slajd.
15:31
Thank you.
349
916000
2000
Ďakujem.
15:33
(Applause)
350
918000
2000
(Potlesk)
15:35
Thank you.
351
920000
2000
Ďakujem.
15:37
(Applause)
352
922000
10000
(Potlesk)
15:47
June Cohen: So thank you. Thank you, Thomas. You're a delight.
353
932000
2000
June Cohen: Ďakujem, Thomas. Si skvelý.
15:49
Since we have an extra minute here,
354
934000
3000
Keďže máme ešte chvíľku času,
15:52
I thought perhaps you could tell us a little bit about these seeds,
355
937000
3000
možno by si nám mohol ešte niečo povedať o týchto semienkach,
15:55
which maybe came from the shaved bit of the building.
356
940000
4000
ktoré možno pochádzajú z tej oholenej časti budovy.
15:59
TH: These are a few of the tests we did
357
944000
2000
TH: Toto je z pár testov, ktoré sme robili,
16:01
when we were building the structure.
358
946000
2000
keď sme stavali budovu.
16:03
So there were 66,000 of these.
359
948000
3000
Takýchto tam bolo 66 000.
16:06
This optic
360
951000
2000
Toto vlákno
16:08
was 22 feet long.
361
953000
2000
je skoro sedem metrov dlhé.
16:10
And so the daylight was just coming --
362
955000
3000
Slnečné svetlo prichádzalo --
16:13
it was caught on the outside of the box
363
958000
3000
zachytávalo sa zvonka budovy
16:16
and was coming down to illuminate each seed.
364
961000
3000
a schádzalo dolu, pričom osvetľovalo každé semienko.
16:19
Waterproofing the building was a bit crazy.
365
964000
3000
Utesniť túto budovu bolo šialené.
16:22
Because it's quite hard to waterproof buildings anyway,
366
967000
3000
Pretože tesnenie je ťažké už samo o sebe,
16:25
but if you say you're going to drill 66,000 holes in it --
367
970000
4000
ale ak poviete, že do budovy potrebujete urobiť 66 000 dier --
16:29
we had quite a time.
368
974000
5000
celkom sme si to užili.
16:34
There was one person in the contractors who was the right size --
369
979000
2000
Len jedna osoba mala ruku správnej veľkosti --
16:36
and it wasn't a child --
370
981000
2000
a nebolo to dieťa --
16:38
who could fit between them
371
983000
2000
ktorá by sa vošla medzi
16:40
for the final waterproofing of the building.
372
985000
2000
tesnenie budovy.
16:42
JC: Thank you, Thomas.
373
987000
2000
JC: Ďakujem, Thomas.
16:44
(Applause)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Thomas Heatherwick - DesignerThomas Heatherwick is the founder of Heatherwick Studio, an architecture and design firm that, among other projects, designed the astonishing "Seed Cathedral" for the UK Pavilion at Shanghai Expo 2010.
Why you should listen
Thomas Heatherwick founded Heatherwick Studio in 1994 with his aim being "to bring architecture, design and sculpture together within a single practice." On the team, architects, landscape architects, designers and engineers work from a combined studio and workshop, where concept development, detailing, prototyping and small-scale fabrication take place. The studio's work spans commercial and residential building projects, masterplanning and infrastructure schemes as well as high profile works of public art.
From his biography at the Design Museum:
Heatherwick finds pleasure in what other designers might perceive as unconventional commissions, like the entrance and carpark for Guys Hospital, near London Bridge. He responded with an organic woven façade, created from stainless steel braid that requires little maintenance and creates a new system for routing traffic. In this context, what Heatherwick cites as his dream design job is unsurprising: a large-scale car park for the 1970s new town, Milton Keynes. “It’s is a weird place but I find it exciting because its infrastructure is taken so seriously,” Heatherwick explains, “It needs multistory car parks. But what world-class example of a well designed car park can you think of? There’s not much competition and they’re a very cheap building typology so you could build the best car park in the world for a fraction of the cost of the fanciest new art gallery… I’d like to work on the world’s best car park.”
