Autor Sem Martin deli fotografije čudnog svetskog hobija koji je u trendu sa XY odrednicom - „muškog prostora”. (To su mesta za provođenje slobodnog vremena izrađena po meri, gde muškarci mogu polagati pravo na deo svoje teritorije za rad, opuštanje, da budu to što jesu.) Uzmite pivce i uživajte.

So, I am indeed going to talk about
0
0
3000
Dakle, zaista ću pričati o prostoru
00:18
the spaces men create for themselves,
1
3000
2000
koji ljudi stvaraju za sebe,
ali prvo želim da vam kažem
zašto sam ovde.
zašto sam ovde.
00:20
but first I want to tell you why I'm here.
2
5000
2000
00:22
I'm here for two reasons. These two guys
3
7000
2000
Ovde sam iz dva razloga.
Ova dvojica momaka
su moji sinovi, Ford i Ren.
su moji sinovi, Ford i Ren.
00:24
are my two sons Ford and Wren.
4
9000
3000
00:27
When Ford was about three years old,
5
12000
2000
Kada je Ford imao oko tri godine,
00:29
we shared a very small room together,
6
14000
2000
delili smo veoma malu sobu
00:31
in a very small space.
7
16000
2000
u veoma malom prostoru.
00:33
My office was on one half of the bedroom,
8
18000
2000
Moja kancelarija bila je
jedna polovina sobe,
jedna polovina sobe,
00:35
and his bedroom was on the other half.
9
20000
2000
a njegova spavaća soba
bila je druga polovina.
bila je druga polovina.
00:37
And you can imagine, if you're a writer,
10
22000
2000
Kao što možete da zamislite,
ako ste pisac,
ako ste pisac,
00:39
that things would get really crowded around deadlines.
11
24000
3000
može se stvoriti prava gužva
tokom perioda sa rokovima.
tokom perioda sa rokovima.
00:42
So when Wren was on the way,
12
27000
2000
Tako, kad je Ren već bio na putu,
00:44
I realized I needed to find a space of my own.
13
29000
2000
shvatio sam da mi treba prostor
koji je samo moj.
koji je samo moj.
00:46
There was no more space in the house. So I went out to the backyard,
14
31000
3000
Nije bilo više mesta u kući,
pa sam otišao u dvorište
pa sam otišao u dvorište
i bez ikakvog prethodnog
graditeljskog iskustva
graditeljskog iskustva
00:49
and without any previous building experience,
15
34000
2000
00:51
and about 3,000 dollars and some
16
36000
2000
i sa oko 3 000 dolara
00:53
recycled materials, I built this space.
17
38000
2000
i nešto recikliranog materijala,
izgradio sam mesto.
izgradio sam mesto.
00:55
It had everything I needed. It was quiet.
18
40000
3000
Imalo je sve što mi je potrebno -
bilo je tiho,
bilo je tiho,
bilo je dovoljno prostora
i imao sam kontrolu,
i imao sam kontrolu,
00:58
There was enough space. And I had control, which was very important.
19
43000
3000
što je veoma važno.
01:01
As I was building this space, I thought
20
46000
2000
Dok sam gradio ovaj prostor,
pomislio sam u sebi:
pomislio sam u sebi:
01:03
to myself, "Surely I'm not the only guy
21
48000
2000
„Sigurno nisam jedini momak
01:05
to have to have carved out a space for his own."
22
50000
3000
koji je izgradio mesto za sebe",
01:08
So I did some research.
23
53000
2000
pa sam malo istraživao
01:10
And I found that there was an historic precedence.
24
55000
2000
i otkrio da postoji istorijat ovoga.
01:12
Hemingway had his writing space.
25
57000
2000
Hemingvej je imao svoj prostor za pisanje.
01:14
Elvis had two or three manspaces,
26
59000
2000
Elvis je imao dva ili tri mesta
rezervisana samo za muškarce,
rezervisana samo za muškarce,
01:16
which is pretty unique because he lived with both his wife and his mother in Graceland.
27
61000
4000
što je prilično jedinstveno jer je živeo
sa ženom i majkom u Grejslendu.
sa ženom i majkom u Grejslendu.
01:20
In the popular culture, Superman had the Fortress of Solitude,
28
65000
4000
U popularnoj kulturi, Supermen je imao
Tvrđavu usamljenosti,
Tvrđavu usamljenosti,
01:24
and there was, of course, the Batcave.
29
69000
3000
a postoji, naravno, i Betmenova pećina.
01:27
So I realized then that I wanted to go out on a journey
30
72000
4000
Tada sam shvatio da želim da krenem na put
01:31
and see what guys were creating for themselves now.
31
76000
3000
i vidim šta momci danas grade za sebe.
01:34
Here is one of the first spaces I found. It is in Austin, Texas,
32
79000
2000
Evo jednog mesta koji sam našao
u Ostinu u Teksasu,
u Ostinu u Teksasu,
01:36
which is where I'm from.
33
81000
2000
odakle sam i sam.
01:38
On the outside it looks like a very typical garage, a nice garage.
34
83000
3000
Spolja izgleda kao tipična garaža,
fina garaža,
fina garaža,
01:41
But on the inside, it's anything but.
35
86000
2000
ali je iznutra sve osim garaže,
a ovo je, za mene,
prilično klasičan prostor za muškarce.
prilično klasičan prostor za muškarce.
01:43
And this, to me, is a pretty classic manspace.
36
88000
2000
01:45
It has neon concert posters, a bar
37
90000
4000
Ima neonsku svetiljku,
koncertne postere, bar
koncertne postere, bar
01:49
and, of course, the leg lamp,
38
94000
2000
i, naravno, lampu u obliku ženske noge,
01:51
which is very important.
39
96000
2000
što je vrlo bitno.
01:53
I soon realized that manspaces didn't have to be only inside.
40
98000
3000
Uskoro sam shvatio da prostor za muškarce
ne mora da se odnosi
samo na prostor iznutra.
samo na prostor iznutra.
01:56
This guy built a bowling alley in his backyard,
41
101000
3000
Ovaj momak je izgradio kuglanu u dvorištu
01:59
out of landscaping timbers, astroturf.
42
104000
2000
koristeći grede za uređivanje,
veštačku travu,
veštačku travu,
02:01
And he found the scoreboard in the trash.
43
106000
3000
a tabelu za rezultate našao je u otpadu.
02:04
Here's another outdoor space, a little bit more sophisticated.
44
109000
2000
Evo još jednog vanjskog prostora,
nešto malo prefinjenijeg.
nešto malo prefinjenijeg.
02:06
This a 1923 wooden tugboat,
45
111000
3000
Ovo je drveni remorker iz 1923. godine,
02:09
made completely out of Douglas fir.
46
114000
2000
napravljen potpuno od četinarskog drveta.
02:11
The guy did it all himself.
47
116000
2000
Ovaj momak je sve sam uradio.
02:13
And there is about 1,000 square feet of hanging-out space inside.
48
118000
4000
Postoji oko 300 kvadratnih metara prostora
za provođenje vremena unutra.
za provođenje vremena unutra.
02:17
So, pretty early on in my investigations
49
122000
3000
Znači, prilično rano u istraživanju
02:20
I realized what I was finding was not what I expected to find,
50
125000
3000
shvatio sam da nailazim na nešto
što nisam očekivao da ću naći,
02:23
which was, quite frankly, a lot of beer can pyramids
51
128000
2000
što je, iskreno, puno piramida
od pivskih konzervi,
od pivskih konzervi,
02:25
and overstuffed couches and flat-screen TVs.
52
130000
3000
prenatrpani kaučevi
i televizori sa ravnim ekranom.
i televizori sa ravnim ekranom.
02:28
There were definitely hang-out spots.
53
133000
2000
To su definitivno bila mesta
za provođenje slobodnog vremena,
za provođenje slobodnog vremena,
02:30
But some were for working, some were for playing,
54
135000
3000
ali neka su za rad, neka za igru,
02:33
some were for guys to collect their things.
55
138000
3000
neka da momci sakupljaju stvari.
02:36
Most of all, I was just surprised with what I was finding.
56
141000
3000
Iznad svega, bio sam iznenađen
onim što sam otkrio.
onim što sam otkrio.
02:39
Take this place for example.
57
144000
2000
Uzmite ovo mesto za primer.
02:41
On the outside it looks like a typical northeastern garage.
58
146000
2000
Spolja izgleda
kao tipična severoistočna garaža.
kao tipična severoistočna garaža.
02:43
This is in Long Island, New York.
59
148000
2000
Ovo je Long Ajlend u Njujorku.
02:45
The only thing that might tip you off is the round window.
60
150000
3000
Jedina stvar koja bi vam mogla
dati nagoveštaj je okrugli prozor.
dati nagoveštaj je okrugli prozor.
02:48
On the inside it's a recreation of a
61
153000
2000
Iznutra je urađena po ugledu
02:50
16th century Japanese tea house.
62
155000
3000
na japansku kuću čaja iz 16. veka.
02:53
The man imported all the materials from Japan,
63
158000
2000
Čovek je uvezao sav materijal iz Japana
02:55
and he hired a Japanese carpenter
64
160000
3000
i unajmio japanskog stolara
02:58
to build it in the traditional style.
65
163000
2000
da je izgradi u tradicionalnom stilu.
03:00
It has no nails or screws.
66
165000
2000
Nema eksere ni šrafove.
03:02
All the joints are hand-carved and hand-scribed.
67
167000
3000
Svi spojevi
su ručno izrezbareni i spojeni.
su ručno izrezbareni i spojeni.
03:05
Here is another pretty typical scene. This is a suburban Las Vegas neighborhood.
68
170000
3000
Evo još jedne prilično tipične scene.
Ovo je prigradsko naselje u Las Vegasu.
Ovo je prigradsko naselje u Las Vegasu.
03:08
But you open one of the garage doors
69
173000
3000
Otvorite, međutim, vrata jedne garaže
03:11
and there is a professional-size boxing ring inside.
70
176000
3000
i eto bokserskog ringa
profesionalne veličine unutra.
profesionalne veličine unutra.
03:14
(Laughter)
71
179000
1000
(Smeh)
03:15
And so there is a good reason for this.
72
180000
2000
Postoji dobar razlog za ovo.
03:17
It was built by this man who is Wayne McCullough.
73
182000
2000
Izgradio ga je čovek
po imenu Vejn Mekalou.
po imenu Vejn Mekalou.
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 trenira na ovom mestu.
Trenira druge ljude.
Trenira druge ljude.
03:26
And right off the garage he has his own trophy room
77
191000
3000
Odmah pored garaže ima sobu sa trofejima
03:29
where he can sort of bask in his accomplishments,
78
194000
2000
gde može da uživa u svojim dostignućima,
03:31
which is another sort of important part about a manspace.
79
196000
3000
što je još jedna važna stvar
vezana za muški prostor.
vezana za muški prostor.
03:34
So, while this space represents someone's profession,
80
199000
3000
Dok ovaj prostor predstavlja
nečiju profesiju,
nečiju profesiju,
03:37
this one certainly represents a passion.
81
202000
2000
ovaj nesumnjivo predstavlja strast.
03:39
It's made to look like the inside of an English sailing ship.
82
204000
3000
Napravljen je tako da izgleda
kao unutrašnjost engleskog jedrenjaka.
kao unutrašnjost engleskog jedrenjaka.
03:42
It's a collection of nautical antiques from the 1700s and 1800s.
83
207000
3000
To je kolekcija nautičkih antikviteta
iz 1700-ih i 1800-ih godina.
iz 1700-ih i 1800-ih godina.
03:45
Museum quality.
84
210000
2000
Muzejski kvalitet.
03:47
So, as I came to the end of my journey,
85
212000
2000
Do kraja svog putovanja,
03:49
I found over 50 spaces.
86
214000
2000
našao sam preko 50 mesta,
03:51
And they were unexpected and they were surprising.
87
216000
2000
a sva su bila neočekivana i iznenađujuća.
03:53
But they were also --
88
218000
2000
Međutim, bila su i -
zaista sam bio impresioniran
koliko su bila personalizovana
koliko su bila personalizovana
03:55
I was really impressed by how personalized they were,
89
220000
2000
03:57
and how much work went into them.
90
222000
2000
i koliko je rada uloženo u njih.
03:59
And I realized that's because the guys that I met
91
224000
2000
Shvatio sam i da je to zato što su momci
koje sam sreo
koje sam sreo
04:01
were all very passionate about what they did.
92
226000
2000
bili veoma ostrašćeni
u vezi sa svojim radom
u vezi sa svojim radom
04:03
And they really loved their professions.
93
228000
2000
i da stvarno vole svoje profesije,
04:05
And they were very passionate about their collections and their hobbies.
94
230000
2000
a bili su veoma pasionirani
i oko svojih kolekcija i hobija.
i oko svojih kolekcija i hobija.
04:07
And so they created these spaces
95
232000
2000
Tako su napravili ova mesta
04:09
to reflect what they love to do,
96
234000
3000
da odraze ono što vole da rade
04:12
and who they were.
97
237000
2000
i ono što oni jesu.
04:14
So if you don't have a space of your own,
98
239000
2000
Ako nemate sopstveni prostor,
04:16
I highly recommend finding one, and getting into it.
99
241000
2000
toplo vam preporučujem
da ga nađete i uđete u njega.
da ga nađete i uđete u njega.
04:18
Thank you very much.
100
243000
2000
Hvala vam.

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.
