Hello, my name is Thomas Heatherwick.

3000
Pozdravljeni, sem Thomas Heatherwick.
00:18
I have a studio in London
1
3000
3000
V našem arhitekturnem studiu v Londonu
00:21
that has a particular approach
2
6000
2000
se poslužujemo posebnega pristopa
00:23
to designing buildings.
3
8000
2000
k načrtovanju zgradb.
00:25
When I was growing up,
4
10000
2000
V mladih letih
00:27
I was exposed to making
5
12000
3000
sem spoznal ročna dela,
00:30
and crafts and materials
6
15000
3000
obrti, materiale
00:33
and invention on a small scale.
7
18000
2000
in majhne izume.
00:35
And I was there looking
8
20000
2000
Ko sem opazoval
00:37
at the larger scale of buildings
9
22000
2000
večje zgradbe
00:39
and finding
10
24000
2000
in odkril,
00:41
that the buildings that were around me
11
26000
2000
da so zgradbe okrog mene,
00:43
and that were being designed
12
28000
3000
načrtovane in objavljene
00:46
and that were there in the publications I was seeing
13
31000
4000
v publikacijah, ki sem jih bral,
00:50
felt soulless and cold.
14
35000
3000
videti brez duše in mrzle.
00:53
And there on the smaller scale,
15
38000
2000
Stvari v manjšem merilu,
00:55
the scale of an earring
16
40000
2000
kot so uhani,
00:57
or a ceramic pot
17
42000
2000
keramična posoda
00:59
or a musical instrument,
18
44000
2000
ali glasbilo, pa so predstavljale
01:01
was a materiality and a soulfulness.
19
46000
3000
predmetnost in bile polne duše.
01:04
And this influenced me.
20
49000
4000
To je name zelo vplivalo.
01:08
The first building I built was 20 years ago.
21
53000
3000
Načrt za prvo zgradbo sem naredil pred 20 leti.
01:11
And since, in the last 20 years,
22
56000
2000
Od takrat, v zadnjih dvajsetih letih,
01:13
I've developed a studio in London.
23
58000
2000
sem razvil arhitekturni studio v Londonu.
01:15
Sorry, this was my mother, by the way,
24
60000
2000
Mimogrede, to je moja mati
01:17
in her bead shop in London.
25
62000
2000
v njeni trgovini s koraldami v Londonu.
01:19
I spent a lot of time counting beads and things like that.
26
64000
3000
Večkrat sem se zamotil s štetjem korald.
01:22
I'm just going to show, for people who don't know my studio's work,
27
67000
3000
Ljudem, ki ne poznajo dela mojega studia,
01:25
a few projects that we've worked on.
28
70000
3000
bi želel pokazati nekaj naših projektov.
01:28
This is a hospital building.
29
73000
3000
To je bolnišnična zgradba.
01:32
This is a shop for a bag company.
30
77000
3000
To je trgovina podjetja s torbami.
01:37
This is studios for artists.
31
82000
3000
To je umetniški studio.
01:42
This is a sculpture
32
87000
2000
To je postavitev
01:44
made from a million yards of wire
33
89000
2000
iz dobrih 900 km žice
01:46
and 150,000 glass beads
34
91000
2000
in 150.000 steklenih krogel,
01:48
the size of a golf ball.
35
93000
3000
velikih kot žogica za golf.
01:51
And this is a window display.
36
96000
3000
In to je izložbeno okno.
01:56
And this is pair of cooling towers
37
101000
2000
To sta dva stolpa za ohlajanje
01:58
for an electricity substation
38
103000
2000
razdelilne postaje
02:00
next to St. Paul's Cathedral in London.
39
105000
3000
poleg katedrale sv. Pavla v Londonu.
02:03
And this is a temple in Japan
40
108000
2000
To je tempelj na Japonskem
02:05
for a Buddhist monk.
41
110000
3000
za nekega budističnega meniha.
02:09
And this is a cafe by the sea
42
114000
2000
To pa je kavarna
02:11
in Britain.
43
116000
2000
ob morju v Veliki Britaniji.
02:13
And just very quickly,
44
118000
2000
Naj le omenim,
02:15
something we've been working on very recently
45
120000
2000
da se trenutno ukvarjamo s projektom,
02:17
is we were commissioned by the mayor of London
46
122000
2000
za katerega nas je pooblastil londonski župan,
02:19
to design a new bus
47
124000
2000
in sicer z načrtovanjem novega avtobusa,
02:21
that gave the passenger
48
126000
3000
ki bi potnikom
02:24
their freedom again.
49
129000
2000
vrnil svobodo gibanja.
02:26
Because the original Routemaster bus
50
131000
2000
Izvirni rdeči dvonadstropni avtobusi,
02:28
that some of you may be familiar with,
51
133000
2000
ki jih najbrž poznate,
02:30
which had this open platform at the back --
52
135000
2000
z zadnjo odprto dostopno ploščadjo,
02:32
in fact, I think all our Routemasters
53
137000
2000
se namreč sedaj
02:34
are here in California now actually.
54
139000
2000
menda trenutno prevažajo po Kaliforniji.
02:36
But they aren't in London.
55
141000
3000
A ni jih v Londonu.
02:39
And so you're stuck on a bus.
56
144000
2000
Tako potniki obtičijo na avtobusu.
02:41
And if the bus is going to stop
57
146000
3000
Če se avtobus namerava ustaviti,
02:44
and it's three yards away from the bus stop,
58
149000
3000
a je tri metre oddaljen od postajališča,
02:47
you're just a prisoner.
59
152000
2000
ste postali ujetnik.
02:49
But the mayor of London wanted to reintroduce
60
154000
2000
Londonski župan pa je hotel
02:51
buses with this open platform.
61
156000
3000
ponovno uvesti avtobuse z odprto ploščadjo.
02:54
So we've been working with Transport for London,
62
159000
4000
Sodelujemo z londonskim prometnim sistemom,
02:58
and that organization
63
163000
2000
ki pa kot organizacija
03:00
hasn't actually been responsible
64
165000
2000
ni bila v vlogi
03:02
as a client for a new bus
65
167000
2000
naročnika novega avtobusa
03:04
for 50 years.
66
169000
2000
že 50 let.
03:06
And so we've been very lucky to have a chance to work.
67
171000
3000
Zato smo imeli veliko srečo, da pri tem sodelujemo.
03:09
The brief is that the bus should use 40 percent less energy.
68
174000
3000
Namen je bil, da avtobus porabi 40 odstotkov manj energije.
03:12
So it's got hybrid drive.
69
177000
2000
Tako deluje na hibridni pogon.
03:14
And we've been working
70
179000
2000
Ukvarjamo pa se
03:16
to try to improve
71
181000
2000
z izboljšavo vsega,
03:18
everything from the fabric
72
183000
2000
od blaga
03:20
to the format
73
185000
2000
do oblike,
03:22
and structure
74
187000
2000
strukture
03:24
and aesthetics.
75
189000
2000
in videza.
03:26
I was going to show four main projects.
76
191000
3000
Rad bi pokazal štiri glavne projekte.
03:29
And this is a project for a bridge.
77
194000
3000
To je projekt za most.
03:32
And so we were commissioned to design a bridge that would open.
78
197000
3000
Pooblastili so nas za načrtovanje mosta, ki bi se odpiral.
03:35
And openings seemed --
79
200000
2000
Odpiranje mosta je --
03:37
everyone loves opening bridges,
80
202000
2000
ljudem so všeč mostovi, ki se odpirajo,
03:39
but it's quite a basic thing.
81
204000
3000
a vseeno gre za precej preprosto stvar.
03:42
I think we all kind of stand and watch.
82
207000
2000
Vsi takrat nekako obstanemo in gledamo.
03:44
But the bridges that we saw
83
209000
2000
A mostovi, kot jih poznamo,
03:46
that opened and closed --
84
211000
3000
ki se dvigajo in spuščajo,
03:49
I'm slightly squeamish --
85
214000
4000
mi vzbujajo pomisleke...
03:53
but I once saw a photograph of a footballer
86
218000
3000
Nekoč sem videl sliko nogometaša,
03:56
who was diving for a ball.
87
221000
2000
ki se je iztegnil za žogo.
03:58
And as he was diving, someone had stamped on his knee,
88
223000
3000
Med stegovanjem je nekdo pohodil njegovo koleno
04:01
and it had broken like this.
89
226000
3000
in ga zlomil tako.
04:04
And then we looked at these kinds of bridges
90
229000
4000
Nato smo opazovali take mostove
04:08
and just couldn't help feeling
91
233000
2000
in nisem si mogel kaj, a všeč mi je bilo,
04:10
that it was a beautiful thing that had broken.
92
235000
3000
da se je zlomilo.
04:13
And so this is in Paddington in London.
93
238000
3000
To je v Paddingtonu v Londonu.
04:16
And it's a very boring bridge, as you can see.
94
241000
2000
Kot vidite, je zelo suhoparen most,
04:18
It's just steel and timber.
95
243000
3000
zgrajen le iz jekla in lesa.
04:24
But instead of what it is,
96
249000
3000
A mi smo se namesto na videz
04:27
our focus was on the way it worked.
97
252000
4000
osredotočili na način delovanja.
04:35
(Applause)
98
260000
7000
(Aplavz)
04:42
So we liked the idea that the two farthest bits of it
99
267000
3000
Navdušila nas je zamisel, da se dva najbolj
04:45
would end up kissing each other.
100
270000
3000
skrajna konca združita kot pri poljubu.
04:50
(Applause)
101
275000
8000
(Aplavz)
04:58
We actually had to halve its speed,
102
283000
2000
Morali smo prepoloviti njegovo hitrost,
05:00
because everyone was too scared when we first did it.
103
285000
2000
saj so se prvič ljudje preveč prestrašili.
05:02
So that's it speeded up.
104
287000
2000
To je pospešeno odpiranje.
05:04
A project that we've been working on very recently
105
289000
3000
Trenutno se ukvarjamo z načrtovanjem
05:07
is to design a new biomass power station --
106
292000
3000
nove energetske postaje za predelavo biomase,
05:10
so a power station that uses organic waste material.
107
295000
4000
postaje, ki izkorišča organske odpadke.
05:14
In the news,
108
299000
2000
V novicah lahko stalno beremo,
05:16
the subject of where our future water is going to come from
109
301000
2000
od kje bomo v prihodnosti
05:18
and where our power is going to come from
110
303000
2000
pridobivali vodo
05:20
is in all the papers all the time.
111
305000
3000
in energijo.
05:23
And we used to be quite proud of the way we generated power.
112
308000
4000
V preteklosti smo se precej ponašali
05:27
But recently,
113
312000
2000
z našimi načini pridobivanja energije.
05:29
any annual report of a power company
114
314000
3000
Zadnje čase pa letna poročila energetskih podjetij
05:32
doesn't have a power station on it.
115
317000
2000
na naslovnicah nimajo energetske postaje,
05:34
It has a child running through a field, or something like that.
116
319000
2000
pač pa je pogosto to otrok, ki teče po polju.
05:36
(Laughter)
117
321000
2000
(Smeh)
05:38
And so when a consortium of engineers approached us
118
323000
4000
Ko se je na nas obrnilo združenje inženirjev
05:42
and asked us to work with them on this power station,
119
327000
3000
z željo, da bi sodelovali pri tej energetski postaji,
05:45
our condition was that we would work with them
120
330000
2000
smo ponudbo sprejeli pod pogojem,
05:47
and that, whatever we did,
121
332000
2000
da bi z njimi sodelovali
05:49
we were not just going to decorate a normal power station.
122
334000
5000
in ne le okrasili običajno energetsko postajo.
05:54
And instead, we had to learn -- we kind of forced them to teach us.
123
339000
3000
Namesto tega smo jih prisilili, da so nas učili.
05:57
And so we spent time traveling with them
124
342000
3000
Tako smo z njimi potovali,
06:00
and learning about all the different elements,
125
345000
2000
se učili o vseh mogočih elementih
06:02
and finding that there were plenty of inefficiencies
126
347000
2000
in videli, da obstaja mnogo neučinkovitosti,
06:04
that weren't being capitalized on.
127
349000
2000
ki niso bile izkoriščene.
06:06
That just taking a field and banging all these things out
128
351000
3000
Zgolj nametana zazidava praznega zemljišča
06:09
isn't necessarily the most efficient way that they could work.
129
354000
3000
ni nujno najučinkovitejši način.
06:12
So we looked at how we could compose all those elements --
130
357000
5000
Želeli smo ugotoviti, kako združiti vse dele
06:17
instead of just litter, create one composition.
131
362000
3000
v celoto, brez videza navlake.
06:20
And what we found --
132
365000
2000
Odkrili smo...
06:22
this area is one of the poorest parts of Britain.
133
367000
2000
To območje je eno revnejših delov Velike Britanije.
06:24
It was voted the worst place in Britain to live.
134
369000
3000
Znano je kot najmanj priljubljen kraj za bivanje.
06:27
And there are 2,000 new homes being built
135
372000
2000
Poleg te energetske postaje
06:29
next to this power station.
136
374000
2000
pa gradijo 2.000 novih domov.
06:31
So it felt this has a social dimension.
137
376000
3000
Občutna je bila torej družbena nota,
06:34
It has a symbolic importance.
138
379000
2000
kar ima simboličen pomen.
06:36
And we should be proud of where our power is coming from,
139
381000
3000
Morali bi biti ponosni na vir naše energije,
06:39
rather than something we are necessarily ashamed of.
140
384000
3000
namesto da se ga sramujemo.
06:42
So we were looking at how we could make a power station,
141
387000
2000
Zanimalo nas je, kako bi ustvarili postajo,
06:44
that, instead of keeping people out
142
389000
2000
ki ljudi ne bi odvračala
06:46
and having a big fence around the outside,
143
391000
2000
ali se od družbe zapirala z visoko ograjo,
06:48
could be a place that pulls you in.
144
393000
2000
pač pa bi privabljala ljudi.
06:50
And it has to be --
145
395000
3000
Poleg tega mora biti --
06:53
I'm trying to get my --
146
398000
2000
poskušam se spomniti --
06:55
250 feet high.
147
400000
3000
visoka slabih 80 metrov.
06:58
So it felt that what we could try to do
148
403000
3000
Prišli smo na idejo,
07:01
is make a power park
149
406000
2000
da bi ustvarili energetski park
07:03
and actually bring the whole area in,
150
408000
2000
in vključili celotno okolico,
07:05
and using the spare soil that's there on the site,
151
410000
3000
z odvečno zemljo z gradbišča
07:08
we could make a power station that was silent as well.
152
413000
2000
pa bi ustvarili tiho energetsko postajo.
07:10
Because just that soil
153
415000
2000
Prav ta zemlja
07:12
could make the acoustic difference.
154
417000
2000
lahko ustvari razliko v akustiki.
07:14
And we also found that we could make a more efficient structure
155
419000
3000
Želeli smo tudi izboljšati strukturno učinkovitost
07:17
and have a cost-effective way
156
422000
2000
in najti stroškovno izvedljiv
07:19
of making a structure to do this.
157
424000
2000
način izvedbe take strukture.
07:21
The finished project
158
426000
2000
Končni projekt naj bi predstavljal
07:23
is meant to be more than just a power station.
159
428000
2000
več kot le energetsko postajo.
07:25
It has a space where you could have a bar mitzvah at the top.
160
430000
3000
Na vrhu je prostor, kjer lahko praznujete bar micvo.
07:28
(Laughter)
161
433000
2000
(Smeh)
07:30
And it's a power park.
162
435000
4000
Gre torej za energetski park.
07:34
So people can come and really experience this
163
439000
2000
Ljudje lahko pridejo in ga spoznavajo,
07:36
and also look out all around the area,
164
441000
3000
se razgledujejo po okolici in tako izkoristijo
07:39
and use that height that we have to have for its function.
165
444000
3000
višino postaje, ki je potrebna za obratovanje.
07:42
In Shanghai,
166
447000
2000
V Šanghaj
07:44
we were invited to build --
167
449000
2000
so nas povabili, da zgradimo --
07:46
well we weren't invited; what am I talking about.
168
451000
2000
pravzaprav nas niso povabili, kaj pa govorim.
07:48
We won the competition, and it was painful to get there.
169
453000
3000
Zmagali smo na natečaju, kar res ni bilo lahko.
07:51
(Laughter)
170
456000
4000
(Smeh)
07:55
So we won the competition to build the U.K. pavilion.
171
460000
3000
Osvojili smo natečaj za postavitev britanskega pavilijona.
07:58
And an expo
172
463000
2000
Tokratnji Expo
08:00
is a totally bonkers thing.
173
465000
2000
je resnično nora stvar.
08:02
There's 250 pavilions.
174
467000
3000
Obsega 250 pavilijonov.
08:05
It's the world's biggest ever expo that had ever happened.
175
470000
4000
Je največji, kar se jih je odvilo.
08:09
So there are up to a million people there everyday.
176
474000
3000
Vsak dan se na njem tre do milijon obiskovalcev.
08:12
And 250 countries all competing.
177
477000
2000
Vseh 250 držav tekmuje med sabo.
08:14
And the British government saying,
178
479000
2000
Britanska vlada pa nam je naročila,
08:16
"You need to be in the top five."
179
481000
2000
da moramo priti med prvih pet.
08:18
And so that became
180
483000
2000
Tako je to postal
08:20
the governmental goal --
181
485000
3000
vladni cilj,
08:23
is, how do you stand out in this chaos,
182
488000
3000
a kako izstopati v tej zmešnjavi,
08:26
which is an expo of stimulus?
183
491000
4000
v tej razstavi dražljajev?
08:30
So our sense was we had to do one thing,
184
495000
4000
Vedeli smo, da moramo narediti le eno stvar,
08:34
and only one thing,
185
499000
3000
le eno
08:37
instead of trying to have everything.
186
502000
2000
in ne želeti vključiti vsega.
08:39
And so what we also felt
187
504000
2000
Prav tako smo se zavedali, da v nobenem primeru
08:41
was that whatever we did we couldn't do a cheesy advert for Britain.
188
506000
3000
ne smemo narediti zlajnane reklame za VB.
08:44
(Laughter)
189
509000
2000
(Smeh)
08:46
But the thing that was true,
190
511000
2000
Pomembno pa je bilo,
08:48
the expo was about the future of cities,
191
513000
2000
da je bila tema Expa prihodnost mest
08:50
and particularly the Victorians
192
515000
2000
in še posebej viktorijanci so bili med prvimi,
08:52
pioneered integrating nature into the cities.
193
517000
3000
ki so v mesta vnesli naravo.
08:55
And the world's first public park of modern times
194
520000
2000
Prvi javni park sodobnega časa
08:57
was in Britain.
195
522000
2000
je bil prav v VB.
08:59
And the world's first major botanical institution
196
524000
3000
Prva večja botanična ustanova
09:02
is in London,
197
527000
2000
je v Londonu,
09:04
and they have this extraordinary project
198
529000
2000
kjer izvajajo izjemen projekt
09:06
where they've been collecting 25 percent
199
531000
2000
zbiranja četrtine
09:08
of all the world's plant species.
200
533000
2000
vseh svetovnih rastlinskih vrst.
09:10
So we suddenly realized that there was this thing.
201
535000
3000
Nenadoma smo odkrili nekaj posebnega.
09:13
And everyone agrees that trees are beautiful,
202
538000
3000
Vsi se strinjamo, da so drevesa čudovita.
09:16
and I've never met anyone who says, "I don't like trees."
203
541000
2000
Nisem še slišal, da jih kdo ne bi maral.
09:18
And the same with flowers.
204
543000
2000
Enako je z rožami. Ne poznam nikogar,
09:20
I've never met anyone who says, "I don't like flowers."
205
545000
3000
ki ne bi maral rož.
09:23
But we realized that seeds --
206
548000
2000
A ugotovili smo, da semena --
09:25
there's been this very serious project happening --
207
550000
2000
kljub temu izjemnemu projektu --
09:27
but that seeds --
208
552000
2000
v teh večjih botaničnih vrtovih
09:29
at these major botanical gardens,
209
554000
2000
pravzaprav niso
09:31
seeds aren't on show.
210
556000
2000
razstavljena za javnost.
09:33
But you just have to go to a garden center,
211
558000
2000
Treba je iti v vrtni center,
09:35
and they're in little paper packets.
212
560000
2000
kjer jih prodajajo v vrečkicah.
09:37
But this phenomenal project's been happening.
213
562000
3000
A hkrati se odvija ta fenomenalen projekt.
09:40
So we realized we had to make a project
214
565000
2000
Spoznali smo, da moramo izvesti
09:42
that would be seeds, some kind of seed cathedral.
215
567000
3000
projekt s semeni, nekakšno semensko katedralo.
09:45
But how could we show these teeny-weeny things?
216
570000
3000
A kako naj pokažemo te drobižke?
09:48
And the film "Jurassic Park" actually really helped us.
217
573000
3000
Zelo nam je pomagal film "Jurski park".
09:51
Because the DNA of the dinosaur that was trapped in the amber
218
576000
3000
DNK dinozavra, ki se je ohranil v jantarju,
09:54
gave us some kind of clue
219
579000
3000
nam je dal zamisel,
09:57
that these tiny things
220
582000
2000
da bi lahko te majcene stvari ujeli
09:59
could be trapped and be made to seem precious,
221
584000
2000
in jim dali videz dragocenosti
10:01
rather than looking like nuts.
222
586000
3000
in ne zgolj preprostih semen.
10:04
So the challenge was,
223
589000
2000
Ključen izziv je bil,
10:06
how are we going to bring light and expose these things?
224
591000
3000
kako jih izpostaviti na svetlobi.
10:09
We didn't want to make a separate building and have separate content.
225
594000
3000
Nismo želeli ločiti zgradbe od vsebine.
10:12
So we were trying to think,
226
597000
2000
Želeli smo torej ugotoviti,
10:14
how could we make a whole thing emanate.
227
599000
3000
kako bi cela zadeva izžarevala.
10:17
By the way, we had half the budget of the other Western nations.
228
602000
2000
Mimogrede, naš proračun je bil pol manjši kot pri ostalih zahodnih državah.
10:19
So that was also in the mix
229
604000
3000
To je bilo treba upoštevati pri prostoru,
10:22
with the site the size of a football pitch.
230
607000
2000
velikem kot nogometno igrišče.
10:24
And so there was one particular toy that gave us a clue.
231
609000
3000
Zamisel nam je dala posebna igrača.
10:27
(Video) Voice Over: The new Play-Doh Mop Top Hair Shop.
232
612000
3000
(Video) Nov Play-Doh Mop Tops frizerski salon.
10:30
Song: ♫ We've got the Mop Tops, the Play-Doh Mop Tops ♫
233
615000
3000
♫ Imamo Mop Tops, Play-Doh Mop Tops ♫
10:33
♫ Just turn the chair and grow Play-Doh hair ♫
234
618000
2000
♫ Le zasukaj stol in ustvari Play-Doh pričesko ♫
10:35
♫ They're the Mop Tops ♫
235
620000
2000
♫ To so Mop Tops ♫
10:37
Thomas Heatherwick: Okay, you get the idea.
236
622000
2000
Dobro, razumete, kaj želim povedati.
10:39
So the idea
237
624000
2000
Zamislili smo si torej,
10:41
was to take these 66,000 seeds
238
626000
2000
da bi vsakega od teh 66.000 semen,
10:43
that they agreed to give us,
239
628000
2000
ki so nam jih odstopili,
10:45
and to take each seed and trap it
240
630000
2000
posamezno ujeli
10:47
in this precious optical hair
241
632000
3000
v ta dragocen optični las,
10:50
and grow that through this box,
242
635000
3000
ga potegnili skozi ta kvader,
10:53
very simple box element,
243
638000
2000
zelo preprosto kvadrasto konstrukcijo
10:55
and make it a building
244
640000
3000
in tako ustvarili zgradbo,
10:58
that could move in the wind.
245
643000
2000
ki bi se gibala v vetru.
11:00
So the whole thing can gently move when the wind blows.
246
645000
3000
Celotna zadeva se ob vetru nežno giba.
11:03
And inside, the daylight --
247
648000
2000
Znotraj nje pa se dnevna svetloba
11:05
each one is an optic
248
650000
2000
prenaša preko teh optičnih vlaken,
11:07
and it brings light into the center.
249
652000
2000
ki jo iz zunanjosti prenašajo v notranjost.
11:09
And by night,
250
654000
2000
Ponoči pa se
11:11
artificial light in each one
251
656000
2000
skoznje izžareva umetna svetloba
11:13
emanates and comes out to the outside.
252
658000
2000
in odseva navzven.
11:15
And to make the project affordable,
253
660000
3000
Da bi bil projekt cenovno izvedljiv,
11:18
we focused our energy.
254
663000
2000
smo zbrali našo energijo
11:20
Instead of building a building as big as the football pitch,
255
665000
2000
in se namesto zgradbe, velike kot nogometno igrišče,
11:22
we focused it on this one element.
256
667000
3000
osredotočili na ta element.
11:25
And the government agreed to do that
257
670000
3000
Vlada je odobrila ta projekt,
11:28
and not do anything else,
258
673000
2000
brez dodatnih aktivnosti
11:30
and focus our energy on that.
259
675000
2000
in tako smo se osredotočili na to,
11:32
And so the rest of the site was a public space.
260
677000
3000
ostala površina prizorišča pa je postala javni prostor.
11:35
And with a million people there a day,
261
680000
2000
Ob milijonu dnevnih obiskovalcev
11:37
it just felt like offering some public space.
262
682000
3000
se nam je zamisel o javnem prostoru zdela prava.
11:40
We worked with an AstroTurf manufacturer
263
685000
3000
Sodelovali smo s proizvajalcem AstroTurf
11:43
to develop a mini-me version
264
688000
2000
in razvili pomanjšano različico
11:45
of the seed cathedral,
265
690000
2000
semenske katedrale,
11:47
so that, even if you're partially-sighted,
266
692000
2000
tako so lahko tudi slabovidni
11:49
that it was kind of crunchy and soft,
267
694000
3000
zaznali hrapavo, a mehko površino,
11:52
that piece of landscape that you see there.
268
697000
3000
ki pokriva javni prostor, ki ga vidite.
11:55
And then, you know when a pet has an operation
269
700000
4000
Kot, na primer, ko pošljejo vašega ljubljenčka
11:59
and they shave a bit of the skin
270
704000
2000
na operacijo in mu odbrijejo del dlake,
12:01
and get rid of the fur --
271
706000
2000
da lažje opravijo poseg,
12:03
in order to get you to go into the seed cathedral,
272
708000
3000
tako smo tudi mi za lažji dostop v notranjost
12:06
in effect, we've shaved it.
273
711000
2000
dobesedno obrili semensko katedralo.
12:08
And inside there's nothing;
274
713000
2000
Znotraj pa ni ničesar;
12:10
there's no famous actor's voice;
275
715000
2000
nobenih glasov znanega igralca,
12:12
there's no projections;
276
717000
2000
nobenih projekcij,
12:14
there's no televisions; there's no color changing.
277
719000
2000
nobenih televizorjev ali barvnih učinkov.
12:16
There's just silence
278
721000
2000
Znotraj je le tišina
12:18
and a cool temperature.
279
723000
3000
in prijetno hladna temperatura.
12:21
And if a cloud goes past,
280
726000
2000
Ko oblak zakrije sonce,
12:23
you can see a cloud on the tips
281
728000
2000
lahko senco zaznate na konicah vlaken,
12:25
where it's letting the light through.
282
730000
3000
ki prepuščajo svetlobo.
12:31
This is the only project that we've done
283
736000
2000
To je naš edini projekt,
12:33
where the finished thing
284
738000
2000
pri katerem je končni rezultat
12:35
looked more like a rendering than our renderings.
285
740000
3000
videti bolj zasnova kot naše zasnove.
12:38
(Laughter)
286
743000
4000
(Smeh)
12:44
A key thing was how people would interact.
287
749000
3000
Ključno je bilo vključevanje ljudi.
12:47
I mean, in a way it was the most serious thing
288
752000
2000
Na nek način je bila to najbolj iskrena stvar,
12:49
you could possible do at the expo.
289
754000
2000
ki jo lahko izvedete na Expu.
12:51
And I just wanted to show you.
290
756000
2000
To bi vam želel pokazati.
12:53
The British government --
291
758000
2000
Britanska vlada oz. katerakoli vlada
12:55
any government is potentially the worst client in the world
292
760000
3000
je lahko najslabša stranka na svetu,
12:58
you could ever possibly want to have.
293
763000
3000
ki bi si jo želeli.
13:01
And there was a lot of terror.
294
766000
3000
Zelo nas je skrbelo.
13:04
But there was an underlying support.
295
769000
3000
A imeli smo resnično podporo.
13:07
And so there was a moment
296
772000
3000
V nekem trenutku
13:10
when suddenly -- actually, the next thing.
297
775000
2000
je nenadoma -- to boste videli zdaj.
13:12
This is the head of U.K. Trade and Investment,
298
777000
3000
To je vodja britanske organizacije za Trgovino in investicije,
13:15
who was our client,
299
780000
3000
ki je bila naša stranka,
13:18
with the Chinese children, using the landscape.
300
783000
4000
skupaj s kitajskimi otroci na površini prizorišča.
13:22
(Video) Children: One, two, three, go.
301
787000
3000
(Video) Otroci: Ena, dve, tri, zdaj!
13:32
(Laughter)
302
797000
2000
(Smeh)
13:34
TH: I'm sorry about my stupid voice there.
303
799000
2000
Opravičujem se za moj trapast smeh.
13:36
(Laughter)
304
801000
2000
(Smeh)
13:38
So finally, texture is something.
305
803000
3000
Občutek površine je torej pomemben.
13:41
In the projects we've been working on,
306
806000
3000
Pri naših projektih smo ugotovili,
13:44
these slick buildings,
307
809000
2000
da te gladke zgradbe
13:46
where they might be a fancy shape,
308
811000
3000
resda imajo imenitno obliko,
13:49
but the materiality feels the same,
309
814000
2000
materiali pa so še vedno enaki,
13:51
is something that we've been trying to research really,
310
816000
4000
zato smo to področje želeli raziskati
13:55
and explore alternatives.
311
820000
3000
in poiskati druge možnosti.
13:58
And the project that we're building in Malaysia
312
823000
3000
Projekt, ki ga uresničujemo v Maleziji,
14:01
is apartment buildings
313
826000
2000
so stanovanjske zgradbe
14:03
for a property developer.
314
828000
2000
za nepremičninsko podjetje.
14:05
And it's in a piece of land
315
830000
2000
Območje, na katerem gradi,
14:07
that's this site.
316
832000
2000
je ta prostor.
14:09
And the mayor of Kuala Lumpur
317
834000
2000
Župan Kuala Lumpurja je dejal,
14:11
said that, if this developer
318
836000
2000
da bi v primeru, da investitor
14:13
would give something that gave something back to the city,
319
838000
3000
nekaj ponudi oz. vrne mestu,
14:16
they would give them more gross floor area, buildable.
320
841000
3000
ponudili še več zazidljivih parcel.
14:19
So there was an incentive for the developer
321
844000
2000
To je bila spodbuda za investitorja,
14:21
to really try to think about
322
846000
2000
da začne razmišljati
14:23
what would be better for the city.
323
848000
2000
o ugodnostih za mesto.
14:25
And the conventional thing with apartment buildings
324
850000
2000
Običajno pri stanovanjskih zgradbah
14:27
in this part of the world
325
852000
2000
v tem delu sveta je,
14:29
is you have your tower,
326
854000
2000
da so kot stolp
14:31
and you squeeze a few trees around the edge,
327
856000
3000
z nekaj drevesi, stisnjenih ob vogalu,
14:34
and you see cars parked.
328
859000
2000
in parkiranimi avtomobili.
14:36
It's actually only the first couple of floors that you really experience,
329
861000
3000
Dejansko lahko izkusite le prvih nekaj nadstropij,
14:39
and the rest of it is just for postcards.
330
864000
3000
vse ostalo je za razglednice.
14:42
The lowest value is actually the bottom part of a tower like this.
331
867000
3000
Najmanjšo vrednost ima pravzaprav spodnji del take zgradbe.
14:45
So if we could chop that away
332
870000
2000
Če bi lahko spodnja nadstropja skrčili
14:47
and give the building a small bottom,
333
872000
2000
in ustvarili zgradbo z ozkim dnom,
14:49
we could take that bit and put it at the top
334
874000
3000
bi lahko razširili njen zgornji del,
14:52
where the greater commercial value is for a property developer.
335
877000
3000
ki predstavlja večjo tržno vrednost za investitorja.
14:55
And by linking these together,
336
880000
2000
Ko jih povežemo skupaj,
14:57
we could have 90 percent of the site
337
882000
3000
lahko na 90 odstotkih zemljišča
15:00
as a rainforest,
338
885000
2000
ustvarimo deževni gozd
15:02
instead of only 10 percent of scrubby trees
339
887000
2000
namesto zgolj 10 odstodkov oskubljenih dreves
15:04
and bits of road around buildings.
340
889000
2000
in kosov ceste okrog stavb.
15:06
(Applause)
341
891000
4000
(Aplavz)
15:10
So we're building these buildings.
342
895000
3000
Gradimo torej take stavbe.
15:13
They're actually identical, so it's quite cost-effective.
343
898000
3000
Ker je ena enaka drugi, so stroškovno učinkovite.
15:16
They're just chopped at different heights.
344
901000
2000
Le odrezane so na različnih višinah.
15:18
But the key part
345
903000
2000
Ključno pa je,
15:20
is trying to give back an extraordinary piece of landscape,
346
905000
3000
da prostoru vrnemo izjemen del pokrajine,
15:23
rather than engulf it.
347
908000
4000
namesto da ga odvzamemo.
15:28
And that's my final slide.
348
913000
3000
In to je moj zadnji diapozitiv.
15:31
Thank you.
349
916000
2000
Hvala lepa.
15:33
(Applause)
350
918000
2000
(Aplavz)
15:35
Thank you.
351
920000
2000
Hvala.
15:37
(Applause)
352
922000
10000
(Aplavz)
15:47
June Cohen: So thank you. Thank you, Thomas. You're a delight.
353
932000
2000
June Cohen: Hvala lepa, Thomas. Bilo je čudovito.
15:49
Since we have an extra minute here,
354
934000
3000
Ker imamo še minuto,
15:52
I thought perhaps you could tell us a little bit about these seeds,
355
937000
3000
nam morda lahko poveš kaj več o teh semenih,
15:55
which maybe came from the shaved bit of the building.
356
940000
4000
ki morda prihajajo iz odrezanega dela zgradbe.
15:59
TH: These are a few of the tests we did
357
944000
2000
TH: To so eni od mnogih poskusov
16:01
when we were building the structure.
358
946000
2000
pri gradnji konstrukcije.
16:03
So there were 66,000 of these.
359
948000
3000
Imeli smo torej 66.000 takih.
16:06
This optic
360
951000
2000
Te optične palice
16:08
was 22 feet long.
361
953000
2000
so dolge slabih 7 metrov.
16:10
And so the daylight was just coming --
362
955000
3000
Sončna svetloba se je
16:13
it was caught on the outside of the box
363
958000
3000
zbrala zunaj zgradbe,
16:16
and was coming down to illuminate each seed.
364
961000
3000
prodrla skoznjo in osvetlila vsako seme.
16:19
Waterproofing the building was a bit crazy.
365
964000
3000
Narediti zgradbo odporno na vodo je bilo precej noro.
16:22
Because it's quite hard to waterproof buildings anyway,
366
967000
3000
To je vedno precej težko,
16:25
but if you say you're going to drill 66,000 holes in it --
367
970000
4000
če pa vanjo navrtaš še 66.000 lukenj,
16:29
we had quite a time.
368
974000
5000
je še posebej zanimivo.
16:34
There was one person in the contractors who was the right size --
369
979000
2000
En izvajalec del je bil prave velikosti --
16:36
and it wasn't a child --
370
981000
2000
in ni bil otrok --
16:38
who could fit between them
371
983000
2000
da se je zrinil mednje
16:40
for the final waterproofing of the building.
372
985000
2000
in kot zadnji preveril odpornost zgradbe na vodo.
16:42
JC: Thank you, Thomas.
373
987000
2000
JC: Hvala lepa, 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.”
