兩個宛如雙胞胎的圓頂建築，
00:15
two radically opposed design cultures.
1
3708
3430
兩個有著極度對比的設計文化。
00:19
One is made of thousands of steel parts,
2
7709
3040
其中一個由成千上萬個鋼鐵元件組成，
00:22
the other of a single silk thread.
3
10773
2776
另一個則由單一絲線構成。
00:26
One is synthetic, the other organic.
4
14035
2466
一個是合成的，一個則是有機的。
00:28
One is imposed on the environment,
5
16936
2277
一個被強行融入環境裡，
00:31
the other creates it.
6
19237
2093
另一個則創造環境。
00:33
One is designed for nature,
the other is designed by her.
the other is designed by her.
7
21666

一個是被大自然創造出來的，
另一個則設計了大自然本身。

Michelangelo said that
when he looked at raw marble,
when he looked at raw marble,
8
26032
2893
米開朗基羅曾說，當他看著原始石材，
00:40
he saw a figure struggling to be free.
9
28949
2452
他看到了一個想要掙脫束縛的體態。
00:43
The chisel was Michelangelo's only tool.
10
31425
4122
鑿子是米開朗基羅唯一的工具。
00:49
But living things are not chiseled.
11
37261
2184
但活的東西不是被鑿出來的。
00:51
They grow.
12
39999
1184
他們是長出來的。
00:53
And in our smallest units of life,
our cells, we carry all the information
our cells, we carry all the information
13
41999
5466
在我們生命裡最小的元件，
我們的細胞乘載了所有
我們的細胞乘載了所有
00:59
that's required for every other cell
to function and to replicate.

讓其他細胞得以運作
和複製的必要資訊。

01:06
Tools also have consequences.
15
54155
2229
工具也造成了一些影響。
01:08
At least since the Industrial Revolution,
the world of design has been dominated
the world of design has been dominated
16
56922
4610
至少從工業革命後，設計的世界就受到
製造和大量生產的嚴格限制所支配。
01:13
by the rigors of manufacturing
and mass production.
and mass production.
17
61556
2671
01:16
Assembly lines have dictated
a world made of parts,
a world made of parts,
18
64703
3272
裝配線帶來一個用零件組成的世界，
01:19
framing the imagination
of designers and architects
of designers and architects
19
67999
2592
限制了設計師和建築師的想像，
01:22
who have been trained to think
about their objects as assemblies
about their objects as assemblies
20
70615
3104
他們被訓練要把他們的物件想成
01:25
of discrete parts with distinct functions.
21
73743
3374
功能不同的各種零件的組合。
01:30
But you don't find homogenous
material assemblies in nature.

22
78165

但你在自然界中找不到
任何同性質材料是組裝而成的。
任何同性質材料是組裝而成的。
01:35
Take human skin, for example.
23
83434
2254
以人類的皮膚為例。
01:38
Our facial skins are thin
with large pores.
with large pores.
24
86054
3568
我們的臉部肌膚較薄、孔洞較大，
01:41
Our back skins are thicker,
with small pores.

25
89999
3083
背部肌膚則較厚、孔洞較小。
01:45
One acts mainly as filter,
26
93559
2618
一個主要功用是過濾，
01:48
the other mainly as barrier,
27
96201
1764
另一個主要功用是屏障。
01:49
and yet it's the same skin:
no parts, no assemblies.
no parts, no assemblies.
28
97989
4268
但兩者是同一塊皮膚：
沒有零件、沒有組裝。
沒有零件、沒有組裝。
01:54
It's a system that gradually
varies its functionality
varies its functionality
29
102281
3365
它是一個藉由逐漸改變伸縮性
01:57
by varying elasticity.
30
105670
1681
來改變功能的系統。
01:59
So here this is a split screen
to represent my split world view,
to represent my split world view,
31
107835
3942
這裡有兩個分離的螢幕，
代表我兩個分離的世界觀、
代表我兩個分離的世界觀、
02:03
the split personality of every designer
and architect operating today
and architect operating today
32
111801

以及今天每個設計師和建築師
進行工作時兩個分離的人格特質：
進行工作時兩個分離的人格特質：
02:08
between the chisel and the gene,
33
116229
2319
鑿子對比於基因、
02:10
between machine and organism,
between assembly and growth,
between assembly and growth,
34
118572
4838
機器對比於有機體、組裝對比於生長、
02:15
between Henry Ford and Charles Darwin.
35
123434
2538
亨利·福特對比於查理斯·達爾文。
02:18
These two worldviews,
my left brain and right brain,
my left brain and right brain,
36
126734
3002
這兩種世界觀、我的左腦和右腦、
02:21
analysis and synthesis, will play out
on the two screens behind me.
on the two screens behind me.
37
129760
6645
分析和合成，會逐漸在
我背後的兩個螢幕上展開。
我背後的兩個螢幕上展開。
02:29
My work, at its simplest level,
38
137754
2446
我的工作，用最簡單的說法，
02:32
is about uniting these two worldviews,
39
140224
2735
就是結合這兩種世界觀，
02:34
moving away from assembly
40
142983
2214
逐漸離開組裝這端，
02:37
and closer into growth.
41
145221
3038
並逐漸靠近生長這端。
02:41
You're probably asking yourselves:
42
149099
2112
各位可能會問自己：
02:43
Why now?
43
151235
1150
為什麼是現在?
02:44
Why was this not possible 10
or even five years ago?
or even five years ago?
44
152766

為什麼10年前、
甚至5年前都還沒辦法?
甚至5年前都還沒辦法?
02:50
We live in a very special time in history,
45
158451
2128
我們活在歷史上一個非常特別的時刻，
02:52
a rare time,
46
160603
2072
非常罕見的時刻，
02:54
a time when the confluence of four fields
is giving designers access to tools

47
162699
4579
在這個時刻裡，四個領域
的匯合造就了設計師得以取得

過去無法取得的工具。
03:02
These fields are computational design,

而這四個領域的交鋒處，
03:31
my team and I create.
58
199755
1713
就是我和團隊進行創作的地方。
03:33
Please meet the minds and hands

04:14
In our next project,
71
242999

在下一個專案，
04:16
we explore the possibility
of creating a cape and skirt --

我們試著創造斗篷和裙子 --
04:19
this was for a Paris fashion show

此外還有很多類似的物件。
04:41
This helmet combines

這頂安全帽結合了軟硬不同的材質，
04:44
in 20-micron resolution.

272889
3112
精細度高達20微米，
04:48
This is the resolution of a human hair.
81
276025
2388
等同人類毛髮的精細度，
04:50
It's also the resolution of a CT scanner.
82
278437
2586
也等同斷層掃描的精細度。
04:53
That designers have access

86
292104
3508
還能符合我們組織的生理構造的產品。
05:08
Next, we designed an acoustic chair,
87
296445
2008
接著，我們設計了一張有聽覺的椅子，
05:10
a chair that would be at once
structural, comfortable
structural, comfortable
88
298477
3212
會及時地改變結構、坐起來舒適，
05:13
and would also absorb sound.

同時還會吸收聲音。
05:16
Professor Carter, my collaborator, and I

it becomes sound-absorbent.
92
311708
2371
讓它可以吸收聲音。
05:26
We printed its surface
out of 44 different properties,
out of 44 different properties,
93
314659

我們用44種不同材質印出這個表層，
05:30
varying in rigidity, opacity and color,
94
318583
3393
包含不同的硬度、透明度和顏色，

05:38
Its surface, as in nature,
varies its functionality

96
326023
3992
這個表層，正如自然界的特性，
不是靠組裝不同材料來達到不同功能，
05:42
not by adding another material
or another assembly,
or another assembly,
97
330039
3627
05:45
but by continuously and delicately
varying material property.

98
333690
4719
而是靠材質不間斷而細緻的漸變。
05:52
But is nature ideal?
99
340496
1817
但大自然是理想的嗎?
05:56
Are there no parts in nature?
100
344146
2142
自然界中沒有任何零件組成的東西?
06:01
I wasn't raised
in a religious Jewish home,
in a religious Jewish home,
101
349185
3271
我不是在一個虔誠的猶太家庭中長大，
06:04
but when I was young,
102
352480
1156
但當我還小時，
06:05
my grandmother used to tell me
stories from the Hebrew Bible,
stories from the Hebrew Bible,
103
353660
3397
我祖母曾跟過我說過幾個
《希伯來聖經》裡的故事，

06:09
and one of them stuck with me and came
to define much of what I care about.

104
357081
4005
其中有個故事讓我無法忘懷，
深深影響我關心的事物。
深深影響我關心的事物。
06:13
As she recounts:
105
361110
2008
如她所述：
06:15
"On the third day of Creation,
God commands the Earth
God commands the Earth
106
363142
2943
「創造天地的第三天，上帝命令地球
06:18
to grow a fruit-bearing fruit tree."
107
366109
2516
長出結實纍纍的的水果樹。」
06:20
For this first fruit tree,
there was to be no differentiation
there was to be no differentiation
108
368649
3227
在這第一棵水果樹上，
並沒有樹幹、樹枝、葉子和水果的區別。
06:23
between trunk, branches,
leaves and fruit.
leaves and fruit.
109
371900
4370
06:28
The whole tree was a fruit.
110
376294
2149
整棵樹就是個水果。
06:32
Instead, the land grew trees
that have bark and stems and flowers.
that have bark and stems and flowers.
111
380229
5219
但大地長出的樹上卻有
樹皮、根莖和花朵。
樹皮、根莖和花朵。
06:38
The land created a world made of parts.
112
386337
3373
大地創造出由不同零件組成的世界。
06:42
I often ask myself,
113
390514
1858
我經常問自己：
06:44
"What would design be like
if objects were made of a single part?
if objects were made of a single part?
114
392396
4293
「如果每個物件都只有單一零件，
設計會變怎樣?
設計會變怎樣?
06:49
Would we return to a better
state of creation?"
state of creation?"
115
397412
3437
我們是否會回到
創造天地時更好的狀態?」
創造天地時更好的狀態?」
06:54
So we looked for that biblical material,
116
402999
1955
所以我們開始尋找那種聖經裡的材料，
06:56
that fruit-bearing fruit tree
kind of material, and we found it.
kind of material, and we found it.
117
404978
4653
那種類似於結實累累的水果樹
的材料，而我們也找到了。
的材料，而我們也找到了。
07:03
The second-most abundant biopolymer
on the planet is called chitin,

每年約有1億噸的蟹殼質，
07:10
by organisms such as shrimps,

07:15
We thought if we could tune
its properties,
its properties,
121
423259
2716
我們認為，如果能
針對其特性稍加調整，
針對其特性稍加調整，
07:17
we could generate structures
that are multifunctional

122
425999
2628
就能利用它形成一種結構，擁有多功能
07:20
out of a single part.
123
428651
1560
卻只有單一元件。
07:22
So that's what we did.
124
430235
1744
這是我們的成果。
07:24
We called Legal Seafood --
125
432999
1993
我們打給「合法海鮮」
(Legal Seafood，一間連鎖餐廳店名)
(Legal Seafood，一間連鎖餐廳店名)
07:27
(Laughter)
126
435016
1036
(笑聲)
07:28
we ordered a bunch of shrimp shells,
127
436076
2857
我們訂了一批蝦殼，
07:30
we grinded them
and we produced chitosan paste.
and we produced chitosan paste.
128
438957
3070
把它們磨碎，做成甲殼素糊。
07:34

像這樣可以自動分解的物件，
09:16
put them in the sea,

09:38
To do that, we needed to contain bacteria

09:43
So like the periodic table, we came up
with our own table of the elements:

They've been here,
engineered for the first time,

187
637428
3356
在一件服飾裡和彼此產生關聯。
10:53
Think of it as evolution

請把這件事情想像成進化，
而非物競天擇，

but evolution by design.
189
644999
1818
只是它是透過設計來進化。
10:59
In order to contain these relationships,
190
647515
2199
為了讓這些關聯得以存在，
11:01
we've created a single channel
that resembles the digestive tract,
that resembles the digestive tract,
191
649738
4105
我們創造了一種類似消化道的管道，
11:05
that will help flow these bacteria

192
653867
4502
讓這些細菌可以流動，
並沿路改變他們的功能。

11:10
We then started growing
these channels on the human body,

Where we wanted more photosynthesis,
we would design more transparent channels.

對我而言，重點並不是時尚本身，
12:25
but it provided an opportunity
to speculate about the future

and to move away
from the age of the machine

217
743465

讓我們遠離機器製造的時代，
12:38
to a new age of symbiosis
between our bodies,

218
746810
3476
來到一個我們的身體可以和身邊的微生物、
12:42
the microorganisms that we inhabit,
219
750310
2439
各種產品、甚至建築物共生的時代。
12:44
our products and even our buildings.
220
752773
1928
12:46
I call this material ecology.
221
754725
2842
我稱之為材料生態系統。
12:49
To do this, we always need
to return back to nature.

要達成這個目標，
我們永遠需要回歸自然。

現在，你知道3D列印
是用層疊的方式印出材料。
是用層疊的方式印出材料。
12:59
You also know that nature doesn't.
224
767759
1912
你也知道，自然界並非如此。
13:02
It grows. It adds with sophistication.
225
770182
3500
自然生物成長，用非常複雜的方式。
13:06
This silkworm cocoon, for example,
226
774102
2564
例如這個蠶繭，
13:08
creates a highly
sophisticated architecture,
sophisticated architecture,
227
776690
3320
它形成一個高度複雜的建築物，
13:12
a home inside which to metamorphisize.
228
780034
2801
一個可以在裡面羽化成蛾的家。
13:14
No additive manufacturing today gets even
close to this level of sophistication.
close to this level of sophistication.
229
782859
5652
當今沒有任何3D列印技術
可以做到接近這樣的複雜度。
可以做到接近這樣的複雜度。
13:20
It does so by combining not two materials,
230
788535
3072
它不是靠兩種材料的結合，
13:23
but two proteins
in different concentrations.
in different concentrations.
231
791631
3309
而是兩種不同濃度的蛋白質。
13:27
One acts as the structure,
the other is the glue, or the matrix,
the other is the glue, or the matrix,
232
795487
3996
其中一種做為基本架構，
另一種則當成膠、或是線路網，
另一種則當成膠、或是線路網，
13:31
holding those fibers together.
233
799507
2421
將這些纖維夾在一起。
13:33
And this happens across scales.
234
801952
1760
它的規模可大可小。
13:36
The silkworm first attaches itself
to the environment --
to the environment --
235
804717
2732
蠶會先將自己依附於環境中 --
13:39
it creates a tensile structure --
236
807473
2016
製造一個高張力的結構 --
13:41
and it then starts spinning
a compressive cocoon.
a compressive cocoon.
237
809513
3097
接著開始吐絲，製造一個抗壓的繭。
13:44
Tension and compression,
the two forces of life,
the two forces of life,
238
812999
3531
張力和壓力，生命中的兩種力量，
13:48
manifested in a single material.
239
816554
3054
透過單一材料充分展現。
13:53
In order to better understand
how this complex process works,
how this complex process works,
240
821337
3211
為了更加瞭解這個
複雜的過程如何進行，
複雜的過程如何進行，
13:56
we glued a tiny earth magnet
241
824572
2187
我們黏了一塊小小的磁鐵
13:58
to the head of a silkworm,
to the spinneret.
to the spinneret.
242
826783
2999
在蠶的頭上，吐絲器的位置。
14:01
We placed it inside a box
with magnetic sensors,
with magnetic sensors,
243
829806
2948
我們將它放在一個裝有
磁鐵感應器的盒子裡，
磁鐵感應器的盒子裡，
14:04
and that allowed us to create
this 3-dimensional point cloud
this 3-dimensional point cloud
244
832778
3087
讓我們可以建立這個3D點群模型，
14:07
and visualize the complex architecture
of the silkworm cocoon.
of the silkworm cocoon.
245
835889
4942
把蠶繭的複雜結構視覺化。
14:13
However, when we placed
the silkworm on a flat patch,
the silkworm on a flat patch,
246
841736
3654
然而，當我們將蠶放在平面的墊片上，
14:17
not inside a box,
247
845414
1738
而非盒子裡時，
14:19
we realized it would spin a flat cocoon
248
847176
3191
我們發現它會吐出一個平面的繭，
14:22
and it would still
healthily metamorphisize.
healthily metamorphisize.
249
850391
2977
而且還是可以健康地進行羽化。
14:25
So we started designing different
environments, different scaffolds,
environments, different scaffolds,
250
853781
3985
所以我們開始設計
不同的環境、不同的支架，
不同的環境、不同的支架，
14:29
and we discovered that
the shape, the composition,
the shape, the composition,
251
857790
2735
我們發現繭的形狀、成分和架構，
14:32
the structure of the cocoon, was directly
informed by the environment.
informed by the environment.
252
860549
3713
是直接受到環境影響的。
14:36
Silkworms are often boiled to death
inside their cocoons,
inside their cocoons,
253
864866
4353
蠶通常在繭裡被煮沸至死，
14:41
their silk unraveled and used
in the textile industry.
in the textile industry.
254
869243
3182
他們的絲線被拆開並用至紡織產業。
14:44
We realized that designing these templates
allowed us to give shape to raw silk
allowed us to give shape to raw silk
255
872933
6459
我們發現設計這些模板
可以讓我們塑造蠶絲原料的形狀，
可以讓我們塑造蠶絲原料的形狀，
14:51
without boiling a single cocoon.
256
879416
3070
不用煮沸任何一個蠶繭。
14:54
(Applause)
257
882950
3243
(掌聲)
14:58
They would healthily metamorphisize,
258
886217
2722
它們還是可以健康地羽化成蛾，
15:00
and we would be able
to create these things.
to create these things.
259
888963
2530
而我們則可以創造出這些東西。
15:03
So we scaled this process up
to architectural scale.
to architectural scale.
260
891517
3107
我們將這個流程的規模
放大到建築物的大小。
放大到建築物的大小。
15:07
We had a robot spin
the template out of silk,
the template out of silk,
261
895170
3131
我們用一台機器
自動吐出蠶絲做成的模板，
自動吐出蠶絲做成的模板，
15:10
and we placed it on our site.
262
898325
1680
並將它放在我們的工作場地。
15:12
We knew silkworms migrated
toward darker and colder areas,
toward darker and colder areas,
263
900489
4884
我們知道蠶會移動到
比較陰暗寒冷的區域，
比較陰暗寒冷的區域，
15:17
so we used a sun path diagram
to reveal the distribution
to reveal the distribution
264
905397
3320
所以我們用陽光路徑圖
顯示我們這個結構中的光線和熱能分佈狀況。
15:20
of light and heat on our structure.
265
908741
2149
15:23
We then created holes, or apertures,
266
911692
2510
然後我們製造一些孔洞、或者光圈，
15:26
that would lock in the rays
of light and heat,
of light and heat,
267
914226
3749
鎖定光和熱的射線，
15:29
distributing those silkworms
on the structure.
on the structure.
268
917999
3715
決定蠶在這個結構中的分佈狀況。
15:34
We were ready to receive the caterpillars.
269
922777
2373
然後，我們準備好迎接這些蟲了。
15:37
We ordered 6,500 silkworms
from an online silk farm.
from an online silk farm.
270
925174
3719
我們從線上蠶絲公司訂了6,500隻蠶。
15:42
And after four weeks of feeding,
they were ready to spin with us.
they were ready to spin with us.
271
930031
3928
經過四週的餵養，
它們已經準備好為我們吐絲了。
它們已經準備好為我們吐絲了。
15:45
We placed them carefully
at the bottom rim of the scaffold,
at the bottom rim of the scaffold,
272
933983
3532
我們將它們小心地
放置在支架底部的圓環上，
放置在支架底部的圓環上，
15:49
and as they spin they pupate,
they mate, they lay eggs,
they mate, they lay eggs,
273
937539
4436
它們在上面吐絲、蛹化、交配、下蛋，
15:53
and life begins all over again --
just like us but much, much shorter.
just like us but much, much shorter.
274
941999
5105
然後生命重新開始 --
就跟我們一樣，只是週期縮短很多。
就跟我們一樣，只是週期縮短很多。
16:00
Bucky Fuller said that tension
is the great integrity,
is the great integrity,
275
948300
4745
巴奇·富勒曾說，
張力具有十足的完整性。
張力具有十足的完整性。
16:05
and he was right.
276
953069
1623
他是對的。
16:06
As they spin biological silk
over robotically spun silk,
over robotically spun silk,
277
954716
3722
當它們在將天然蠶絲
吐在機器吐出的蠶絲上時，
吐在機器吐出的蠶絲上時，
16:10
they give this entire
pavilion its integrity.
pavilion its integrity.
278
958462
2664
它們讓這整個圓頂完整無缺。
16:13
And over two to three weeks,
279
961150
1850
在兩到三週後，
16:15
6,500 silkworms spin 6,500 kilometers.
280
963024
4655
6,500隻蠶吐出了6,500公里的蠶絲。
16:19
In a curious symmetry, this is also
the length of the Silk Road.
the length of the Silk Road.
281
967703
3673
這也相當於絲路的長度，
形成一個奇妙的對稱。
形成一個奇妙的對稱。
16:24
The moths, after they hatch,
produce 1.5 million eggs.
produce 1.5 million eggs.
282
972837
3855
在他們孵化的幾個月後，
總共生出1,500萬個卵，
總共生出1,500萬個卵，
16:28
This could be used for 250
additional pavilions for the future.
additional pavilions for the future.
283
976716
4114
可以再造出250個相同的圓頂建築。
16:33
So here they are, the two worldviews.
284
981639
3065
所以就在這裡，兩個世界觀。
16:36
One spins silk out of a robotic arm,
285
984728
3767
一個從機器手臂中吐出蠶絲，
16:40
the other fills in the gaps.
286
988519
2332
另一個填滿其中的縫隙。
16:44
If the final frontier of design
is to breathe life into the products
is to breathe life into the products
287
992182
3781
如果設計最後的邊界是讓生命
流入我們周遭的產品和建築物裡，
流入我們周遭的產品和建築物裡，
16:47
and the buildings around us,
288
995987
1794
16:49
to form a two-material ecology,
289
997805
2170
形成一個兩種材料的生態，
16:51
then designers must unite
these two worldviews.
these two worldviews.
290
999999
3604
那設計師就必須將這兩種世界觀結合。
16:55
Which brings us back, of course,
to the beginning.
to the beginning.
291
1003627
3777
這也讓我們回到，當然，一切的起點。
17:00
Here's to a new age of design,
a new age of creation,
a new age of creation,
292
1008121
3603
這是設計的新紀元，
也是造物的新紀元，
也是造物的新紀元，
17:03
that takes us from
a nature-inspired design
a nature-inspired design
293
1011748
3348
將我們從啟發於大自然的設計，
17:07
to a design-inspired nature,
294
1015120
2855
帶到由設計喚醒的大自然。
17:09
and that demands of us for the first time
295
1017999
3976
而這將是首次需要我們
17:13
that we mother nature.
296
1021999
4143
孕育整個大自然。
17:18
Thank you.
297
1026793
1034
謝謝各位。
17:19
(Applause)
298
1027851
6996
(掌聲)
17:26
Thank you very much. Thank you.
299
1034871
2104
非常感謝各位。謝謝。
