WEBVTT 00:00:03.140 --> 00:00:05.140 mr salary will speak for an hour and then we have the room reserved for 00:00:07.940 --> 00:00:14.506 the following our if any of you are free and wish to ask questions, 00:00:14.539 --> 00:00:18.267 challenge some of the philosophies involved here. You may do so at that 00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:20.907 time 00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:24.026 today, it's my pleasure to introduce to you one of the, in my estimation, 00:00:24.059 --> 00:00:27.907 one of the rare men in the world who through his creative endeavors has 00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:31.796 become a phenomenon in his own lifetime. So if you would please welcome 00:00:31.829 --> 00:00:39.829 policy area. 00:00:42.740 --> 00:00:47.506 Okay. 00:00:47.539 --> 00:00:51.107 Mhm. Well, 00:00:51.140 --> 00:00:56.006 the first phenomenon is that I don't speak english, so 00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:03.287 that's going to be tough and uh being the theory a little abstruse or a 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.876 little difficult to present in one hour, especially for a non speaking 00:01:06.909 --> 00:01:14.736 english person. I'm going to show the material first and then we might get 00:01:14.769 --> 00:01:18.206 into a discussion. I hope 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:25.117 The material has his mailing, has two parts, one is a construction in your 00:01:25.150 --> 00:01:28.206 own is a theory. 00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:32.656 The reason to show the construction is to demonstrate that we are also 00:01:32.689 --> 00:01:37.417 building and we are also living a normal life. So that you don't believe 00:01:37.450 --> 00:01:43.686 that you didn't think that we are only sitting on a desk coming up with 00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:49.796 strange ideas. So it's very important for you to go through the building's 00:01:49.829 --> 00:01:56.076 first and then get acquainted with the concept and possibly develop a 00:01:56.109 --> 00:02:01.807 dialogue about the concepts. 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:06.357 We are in Scott's cell, I mean five miles north of Scott cell and many of 00:02:06.390 --> 00:02:10.307 you have been there probably. So you know more or less what we are doing, 00:02:10.340 --> 00:02:14.427 but you'll see some of the ways that we have been using to build a very 00:02:14.460 --> 00:02:20.807 simple, very small structures that we are using for our purposes. Um, 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.606 metal works, ceramics, work drafting, 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:32.639 living and so on. This compound has developed in the last 15 or so years. 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.457 Most of the buildings, the last 10 years in collaboration with the 00:02:37.490 --> 00:02:44.386 College of Architecture, we had summer workshops And between 15 and 30 or 00:02:44.419 --> 00:02:49.596 40 students used to come for six weeks and do some manual work there and 00:02:49.629 --> 00:02:55.497 discuss the ideas involved in it. In the last three years we have been 00:02:55.530 --> 00:03:02.707 beginning to work on a new side About 70 miles on Black Canyon Highway. 00:03:02.740 --> 00:03:09.497 And this is the site for Arcosanti which is hopefully going to be a 00:03:09.530 --> 00:03:16.436 building for about 3000 people involved in living, working, producing, 00:03:16.469 --> 00:03:22.436 playing All under one roof. So it's a small town for about 3000 people, 00:03:22.469 --> 00:03:30.469 built on 10 acres About 25 story high, Occupying 1% of about 860 acres 00:03:31.300 --> 00:03:33.606 that we have. 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:39.707 So it's going to be the opposite of a suburban development 00:03:39.740 --> 00:03:47.506 because the concentration of the activities will be very high and very 00:03:47.539 --> 00:03:55.539 purposely hi and uh, somehow centered around a small urban device which 00:03:57.889 --> 00:04:05.889 would be hey um, nucleus for some research on urban problems. So what 00:04:08.110 --> 00:04:13.476 we're going to do in the next 10 years, hopefully is to experiment and to 00:04:13.509 --> 00:04:18.207 experience and to be the guinea pigs 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:24.017 of a certain environment that we are devising and developing. So the main 00:04:24.050 --> 00:04:29.346 teaching, the process would be the learning about what we are doing and 00:04:29.379 --> 00:04:34.007 the doing is going to be mostly building for many years. 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:41.007 Mhm mhm, mhm, 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.007 mm hmm. 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:50.007 This is the place I was telling you we live and work in and it developed 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:55.176 very positively. There was no plan as such. Every year we build some of 00:04:55.209 --> 00:05:01.017 the structures or one or two of them and then the year after we built 00:05:01.050 --> 00:05:07.806 something more to accommodate the activities that we were developing. 00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:15.507 The first experiment was this slab which became a roof for a little house 00:05:15.540 --> 00:05:19.007 and what I did instead of casting, 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:24.476 slip, casting ceramic species in the ground as I used to do, cast a sleep 00:05:24.509 --> 00:05:32.197 cast somehow this slab on a mountain made of soil. So this is the earth 00:05:32.230 --> 00:05:39.746 house about terabyte early in the dimension and the roof was cast on a 00:05:39.779 --> 00:05:42.906 mound of soil. 00:05:42.939 --> 00:05:50.096 After that came this studio drafting and ceramics later on this, not 00:05:50.129 --> 00:05:53.306 studios in terms there. 00:05:53.339 --> 00:05:59.036 And then year by year we enlarge the operation, we, we got into larger uh 00:05:59.069 --> 00:06:04.996 work in ceramics, we got into foundry work, we build another house for the 00:06:05.029 --> 00:06:10.596 apprentice and lately we built swimming pool, a canopy in a larger 00:06:10.629 --> 00:06:15.926 drafting room. We are now stopping the building in this side because we 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:23.306 are concentrating on new side. 00:06:23.339 --> 00:06:27.306 This is the view of this 00:06:27.339 --> 00:06:33.906 structure from this side. 00:06:33.939 --> 00:06:36.606 Thank you. 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:42.786 The work here is all done by young people and myself and my family. So 00:06:42.819 --> 00:06:47.947 there is no professional skills involved. This is a passageway coming 00:06:47.980 --> 00:06:51.207 through here. 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:59.240 The view of this larger house from this side disorder pool 00:06:59.939 --> 00:07:05.007 canopy about the swimming pool, 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:10.106 the little drafting room. Yeah. 00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:15.406 Now I'm going to show some of the techniques that we used in building. 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:20.606 This is the building, the construction of this here. 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:26.606 Sorry 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:34.639 that what you see there is silt and has been a packed on a form which is 00:07:34.750 --> 00:07:38.606 which is mobile. You see it later. Those are some of the views still on 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:44.606 the compound. This is the north studio looking into the ceramics area, 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:49.806 the ceramics area where we build packing and casting in here. The 00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:57.839 courtyard of the larger house, the swimming pool area, 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.406 the same courtyard 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:05.726 that you can see what kind of services you get when you cast against the 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:11.616 roughness of the soil. The little house. The first experiment this was the 00:08:11.649 --> 00:08:17.156 Rufus was telling you. And this is this is another underground houses, a 00:08:17.189 --> 00:08:22.926 ground which is which is a house which is below great Believe it has a 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:28.296 large opening on the South one on the North and the skylights. I'm sorry 00:08:28.329 --> 00:08:30.606 about this 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.106 business. 00:08:33.139 --> 00:08:37.957 The largest drafting room passage. We're going up into the podcast which 00:08:37.990 --> 00:08:41.506 is the larger house. 00:08:41.539 --> 00:08:47.817 You see this frame was movable. We cast Many of those sections. 11 of 00:08:47.850 --> 00:08:53.846 those by moving the frame assembly, putting up the seal cutting into 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:59.486 pageants, putting paper to obtain different cause inside of the shell. Get 00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:03.106 pulling 00:09:03.139 --> 00:09:10.606 You see the sections for one x 1 supported by the disk unfolding. 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:17.190 And then the last section had to be cast before the scaffolding came down. 00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:23.240 This is the keystone and after that you can you have the structure working 00:09:26.029 --> 00:09:33.927 in compassion. So you take it off, take off the support. Okay, this is the 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:40.537 area. Oh boy. Where we do islamics were the skylight in cardboard and we 00:09:40.570 --> 00:09:45.506 later on we made it into plastic and 00:09:45.539 --> 00:09:47.606 concrete. 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:54.346 We are shaping a formula in soil again to make this wall which contains 00:09:54.379 --> 00:10:00.907 the killed for the ceramics. This is pure soil has been packed cut worked. 00:10:00.940 --> 00:10:06.537 This is a coding of semen to stabilize in a way the pattern. Now we are 00:10:06.570 --> 00:10:08.776 pouring. 00:10:08.809 --> 00:10:14.167 There is the wall itself, the shell. And this was the phone that has been 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:18.207 demolished afterwards. So we used 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:26.240 soil performing but we use concrete for the structure itself. 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:33.307 We were shaping amount for a vote it's a storage now And this girl is 00:10:33.340 --> 00:10:41.340 cutting those ribs and now we're pouring the concrete. 00:10:42.139 --> 00:10:49.537 Those are again are sheets of instead of paper cloth, plastic cloth. And 00:10:49.570 --> 00:10:54.266 you see the difference between the areas where the cloth is on and where 00:10:54.299 --> 00:10:56.886 it's not 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:04.919 the word concrete picks up pigments and soil itself. So you have a 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:08.106 different color. 00:11:08.139 --> 00:11:11.506 This was one of the escalated 00:11:11.539 --> 00:11:19.006 shells is the preparation of another one using colors on the soil itself, 00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:22.506 stabilizing the core. 00:11:22.539 --> 00:11:26.907 Just before the casting of the show itself. 00:11:26.940 --> 00:11:33.996 After the casting before and after. This is a storage for the found the 00:11:34.029 --> 00:11:38.167 area we're building here in the area space which is sheltered for the 00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:42.106 foundry work. 00:11:42.139 --> 00:11:48.136 By using this technique, we needed bulldozers to excavate under those 00:11:48.169 --> 00:11:53.457 shells and the bulldozers cut deep trenches. So we landscape those 00:11:53.490 --> 00:11:58.016 trenches by just cutting the soil and packing it. Later on, we stabilized 00:11:58.049 --> 00:12:06.006 him by pouring seems concrete shells, 00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:11.506 the resulting shell, 00:12:11.539 --> 00:12:14.707 but 00:12:14.740 --> 00:12:19.437 we are building an enclosure for one of the patios in a large house. This 00:12:19.470 --> 00:12:26.407 is a little tunnel going down the ceramics. In this case we used we built 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:32.187 three chronicle arches, one following the next into a spherical shape. And 00:12:32.220 --> 00:12:39.486 then we concluded this structured by pre casting and large concealed and 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:42.807 then assembling it. 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:47.636 There is the arch missing the keystone. This is the concrete child. The 00:12:47.669 --> 00:12:51.006 seal has been washed away. 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:57.307 There's something of this arch. 00:12:57.340 --> 00:13:04.307 No sir, The two final elements 00:13:04.340 --> 00:13:10.817 and this is the the keystone cast on the spot. So again you get a 00:13:10.850 --> 00:13:13.707 compression 00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:19.587 stress is through the urge we put a bench table and owning three houses on 00:13:19.620 --> 00:13:22.106 top of it. 00:13:22.139 --> 00:13:28.207 It's a good viewpoint. Sunset for instance, 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:35.067 we are casting the walls of the larger house and we used the gun night 00:13:35.100 --> 00:13:39.447 where we cast by hand. This was still a solid mound of dirt. When you went 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:45.157 in with bulldozers, we escalated this ceiling of this land, we call it the 00:13:45.190 --> 00:13:51.307 cat cast because this shape was cut mainly by a bulldozer caterpillar. 00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:55.287 You see the softness of the texture and the color of the soil, acidic 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:59.006 lazing line. 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:04.807 There are two light wells in the house. This is the glass line again, 00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:11.986 there's a little ties. Those are panels we built in the house has divided 00:14:12.019 --> 00:14:16.807 full of small rooms. 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:23.766 We are moving power poles to make support for the can opener is going to 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:28.506 be sheltering the swimming pool. We are, we are four foundations here 12 00:14:28.539 --> 00:14:36.207 poles. You're going to cast the slab and then raise it on those poles. 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:43.707 This is the mold the form for this casting. We are painting it, 00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:51.740 we're stabilizing the collar. After the casting, we dug out the soil and 00:14:51.779 --> 00:14:55.506 now we are raising it 00:14:55.539 --> 00:14:59.307 with two cranes. 00:14:59.340 --> 00:15:03.106 These are 30 tons slab 00:15:03.139 --> 00:15:11.139 and it went up quite easily. 00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:19.537 Now we are piling up dirt. You see the collar that come out by painting 00:15:19.570 --> 00:15:24.437 the soil instead of painting the share itself. If you scrub this with a 00:15:24.470 --> 00:15:32.077 brush and water you get more brilliant texas pigments but I had to subdue 00:15:32.110 --> 00:15:34.907 that. 00:15:34.940 --> 00:15:41.606 Now we are digging for the swimming pool. 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:49.639 This was 11 of the few occasions when we had a a crew of professionals and 00:15:49.870 --> 00:15:56.636 the reason why we wanted a very good surface for purpose of cleaning the 00:15:56.669 --> 00:16:01.307 swing import, keeping the swimming pool clean. 00:16:01.340 --> 00:16:07.667 It became almost irresistible that white inside egg. So it was easter I 00:16:07.700 --> 00:16:15.700 think at the time four years ago. So we got in and we messed it up. 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:22.297 We were doing a fast job so that we would have a good binding between the 00:16:22.330 --> 00:16:29.707 white surface and the color of the chemical bond like fresco boom. 00:16:29.740 --> 00:16:35.307 Okay. 00:16:35.340 --> 00:16:42.396 The color, we're fairly fast. We had them for four years and then last 00:16:42.429 --> 00:16:48.126 thing we got bad allergy and one of the boys put in too much chlorine, I'm 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:56.159 afraid that was So the call almost totally went in two days 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:04.937 we are pre casting sticks of concrete by doing a slab and using dividers. 00:17:04.970 --> 00:17:10.717 Metal dividers and reinforcing those sticks with wild land which is a a 00:17:10.750 --> 00:17:16.867 number of Strands of steel about an inch long and 10 miles in diameter. 00:17:16.900 --> 00:17:22.647 You try them in a mixer and you get a diffuse strength, tensile strength 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:29.586 within the structure. And after the curing, assembled those into an apps. 00:17:29.619 --> 00:17:35.707 I called those structural apps is they are a quarter of a sphere shaped. 00:17:35.740 --> 00:17:39.476 They have the peculiar quality of collecting the winter sun if they are 00:17:39.509 --> 00:17:43.857 exposed to the south. So they become some collectors and it's very 00:17:43.890 --> 00:17:51.266 pleasant to work inside here and in the summer day work as a shades so 00:17:51.299 --> 00:17:54.996 they somehow fit this climate where in the winter, you like to have the 00:17:55.029 --> 00:17:59.746 sunshine in this summer, you really need shade for working. So this is an 00:17:59.779 --> 00:18:06.357 outdoor working area, fairly well set for this kind of climate. And we do 00:18:06.390 --> 00:18:11.506 the metal work here, the founder, this is you see how we assemble those 00:18:11.539 --> 00:18:17.806 sticks at the same time, we were building a very 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:24.597 peculiar shape that is going to become a work area for model making you 00:18:24.630 --> 00:18:32.630 see the making of these in the making of that to get 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:43.506 but 00:18:43.539 --> 00:18:46.806 mhm 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:51.197 mhm. We are still using some of those techniques on the new side, but in 00:18:51.230 --> 00:18:56.036 different ways and for different structures. What we're doing now is 00:18:56.069 --> 00:19:02.867 mostly pre casting mm slabs, three cast and then assembled. This was an 00:19:02.900 --> 00:19:08.707 amount of soil. We we began the construction from the top, then we cast 00:19:08.740 --> 00:19:13.637 this next was this. Now we're ready to cast this one and we're going down 00:19:13.670 --> 00:19:20.687 to the floor and so that we end up by doing the footings the last starting 00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:25.306 from the day, the ceiling coming down into the fooling and in this case 00:19:25.339 --> 00:19:30.107 the students put their own designs, 00:19:30.140 --> 00:19:35.707 this is paper cut and applied. 00:19:35.740 --> 00:19:39.746 Yeah. And you can see he was putting on this boy was putting up this 00:19:39.779 --> 00:19:42.006 parrot. 00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:47.726 This is the North Studio planning this is the largest drafting room and 00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:53.887 it's almost completed now. So what we did, we bought a flannel cloth three 00:19:53.920 --> 00:20:01.920 ft wide, we dipped it in a plaster. We hung this wet cloth on, not afraid 00:20:02.259 --> 00:20:08.107 that you don't see in the slide and then when it was dry and stiff we pick 00:20:08.140 --> 00:20:13.236 it up and assembled many of them on the scaffolding. So this is a flannel 00:20:13.269 --> 00:20:19.607 cloth for that is going to be visible inside. And is supporting the 00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:26.066 casting of the shell. This is the beginning of this process. We bought for 00:20:26.099 --> 00:20:31.766 sewer pipes, 10 tons of peace. We found out later on when we started to 00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:39.799 move my hand and they frame, they framed the glazing. 00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:42.907 Yeah, 00:20:42.940 --> 00:20:49.556 they see this sewer pipe, telephone poles and glass. Those are the ribs 00:20:49.589 --> 00:20:55.496 made in flannel, you sit up in the process of being assembled in the final 00:20:55.529 --> 00:20:59.907 surface inside. 00:20:59.940 --> 00:21:04.207 Those were very well as little studios, we are drafting room, a drafting 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:12.240 table there, a table in this side and it's very pleasant. Does the space, 00:21:16.009 --> 00:21:23.107 those are models, you see later, Those are the Ecologies models. Mhm 00:21:23.140 --> 00:21:28.597 We used to have one summer workshop then we got into five or six last year 00:21:28.630 --> 00:21:35.576 , we had 11. beginning in March, ending a few weeks ago And uh last summer 00:21:35.609 --> 00:21:38.506 we had 250. 00:21:38.539 --> 00:21:45.147 Yeah, participant plus the group that we have a more permanent group. So 00:21:45.180 --> 00:21:52.907 it was very large and we poured more than 400 years I think of concrete, 00:21:52.940 --> 00:21:56.496 we intend to do the same thing next year, but possibly have more people 00:21:56.529 --> 00:22:03.006 involved. And so the thing has been developing 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:08.857 Pretty well the last two or 3 years we have meetings, one or 2 meetings 00:22:08.890 --> 00:22:14.407 per week with myself and the group, 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:18.637 we support the foundation, the foundation that we have founded to support 00:22:18.670 --> 00:22:25.076 this work by making metal work and ceramics work mostly bells, wind bells 00:22:25.109 --> 00:22:29.637 because they sell very well. We go from very small bells a few dollars a 00:22:29.670 --> 00:22:37.670 piece too. Groups of thousands of dollars a piece. 00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:43.597 I do some figures in styrofoam like those things also made in starting 00:22:43.630 --> 00:22:50.306 from and then we cast them in. They lost starting from like technique, 00:22:50.339 --> 00:22:55.766 this is all over now 00:22:55.799 --> 00:23:01.377 keep pushing the wrong button. We were asked by the indian school in santa 00:23:01.410 --> 00:23:06.447 fe to build an outdoor theater using the same technique techniques we used 00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:12.447 in Scotland because they liked the feeling of the structures. So here we 00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:20.226 are building this shell about stage and the staging goes on here here at 00:23:20.259 --> 00:23:27.607 different levels on the bridge along this runway also mrs spectator boom. 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:32.806 The stage is 20 ft below ground level. 00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:39.006 We are preparing for the casting of these shells. 00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:41.607 Mhm 00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:47.306 this is the wrong way coming down. 00:23:47.339 --> 00:23:53.357 They will see a different texture the soil. Would the embankment made a 00:23:53.390 --> 00:24:01.390 very ralph aggregate. 00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:07.707 Sorry again, 00:24:07.740 --> 00:24:12.506 this is still the theater 00:24:12.539 --> 00:24:18.607 the wrong way going into the stage. 00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:26.640 How is your mom doing? 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:30.607 Mm 00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.407 I'll go back for a moment. 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:36.607 Mhm 00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:41.996 I tend to use to work in series when I do something. I'll begin with one 00:24:42.029 --> 00:24:47.566 idea and I developed different ideas around the same general concept and 00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:52.717 uh this was the case for bridges for instance. I made those models in a 00:24:52.750 --> 00:24:55.407 few weeks 00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:59.407 and those were made in silt. And then what you see now is the transfer 00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:07.440 those models transfer into plaster. This was an earlier bridge 00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:15.486 with the two mill bridge. You see the background. Some of the designs for 00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:23.519 a project of a two million population city 00:25:23.539 --> 00:25:27.306 to build bridges. 00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:33.707 Sorry about that. 00:25:33.740 --> 00:25:40.046 Yeah, this was a tubular structure also. But it has the, the advantages 00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:45.536 they observing the two claims, but also sort of in the valley. So if you 00:25:45.569 --> 00:25:50.076 have, you can come up from this level up to this side of the valley and to 00:25:50.109 --> 00:25:54.306 that side by side person, 00:25:54.339 --> 00:25:58.607 the underside of it, 00:25:58.640 --> 00:26:04.207 double cantilever bridge, 00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:08.306 the same one. This has been landscaped 00:26:08.339 --> 00:26:14.907 statement. 00:26:14.940 --> 00:26:22.940 A sketch for a one cantilever bridge and model made after the sketch. 00:26:24.940 --> 00:26:32.677 This was a large sketch for a large model that I made for the exhibit when 00:26:32.710 --> 00:26:36.006 it opened at the Corcoran. 00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:40.006 And this is the ball. It's about 45 ft long 00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:45.806 and it's a suspension bridge. But instead of having vertical Thailand's 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:51.097 with cables coming up and then going down into anchorages, doesn't have 00:26:51.130 --> 00:26:56.036 any anchorages just has one foundation, One on one side, 1 on the other 00:26:56.069 --> 00:27:02.046 one. And then those pilots are slanted. They come down there inched here. 00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:06.506 So the weight of this Byron. The buttons of the weight of the other one 00:27:06.539 --> 00:27:11.457 Through the cable tension and runway in this case three level runway is 00:27:11.490 --> 00:27:19.490 suspended from the cable cables. So it's a Suspued bridge with only two 00:27:20.140 --> 00:27:28.140 yeah points Coming down into the ground instead of four. 00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:33.607 Mhm I begin to be very much industry in urban problems when I got a grant 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:39.197 from the Graham Foundation about 15 years ago I guess and I developed an 00:27:39.230 --> 00:27:45.506 idea for A two million population community. 00:27:45.539 --> 00:27:52.907 Some of the elements are pretty interesting now with the ecological 00:27:52.940 --> 00:28:00.177 almost fair that we had and there was for instance, a quarry along the 00:28:00.210 --> 00:28:06.496 axis of the city which was made into a man made landscape. So this is an 00:28:06.529 --> 00:28:11.746 open pit mining, let's say, producing gravel and aggregate for building 00:28:11.779 --> 00:28:16.806 for building construction, construction and roadways. 00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:24.486 And instead of leaving this scar, as we do most of the time this was made 00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:30.627 into a park with its own little valley and sub valleys and structure which 00:28:30.660 --> 00:28:38.660 were dark cut or tunneled into it. So it's a geology which has been made 00:28:38.910 --> 00:28:43.707 into a man made man shaped geology. 00:28:43.740 --> 00:28:47.707 Another element was that we had 00:28:47.740 --> 00:28:54.256 a belt here sunk into the ground which was the recycling belt taking all 00:28:54.289 --> 00:29:00.907 the rejects and waste of the city and coming up with raw materials or 00:29:00.940 --> 00:29:05.316 energy or so on. So you would have, you would be closing the cycle that we 00:29:05.349 --> 00:29:13.349 leave now open which go for waste pollution and so on. 00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:18.046 There were many rings. One inside of the other one, the center was a 00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:24.016 learning center. Then there was a ring which was given to small industries 00:29:24.049 --> 00:29:29.766 and home industries. There was this larger belt for villages organized in 00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:35.226 found ships. That it was another belt which was mainly of marketing, of 00:29:35.259 --> 00:29:38.707 standard products produced. 00:29:38.740 --> 00:29:43.526 There was a theological center connected through this park to the learning 00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:45.607 center. 00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:53.306 This was still a very scattered kind of pattern. This is about 13 miles. 00:29:53.339 --> 00:29:59.887 And it was from this, the inability to organize this space better than I 00:29:59.920 --> 00:30:04.147 got into the three dimensional Concept. And this is the beginning of this 00:30:04.180 --> 00:30:10.486 three dimensionality expressed very strongly. This is I think 150 floors 00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:16.556 or so. This was the learning center. This was a suggestion of this man 00:30:16.589 --> 00:30:24.589 made landscape, geological century here. 00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:31.407 Mhm. Yeah. 00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:39.440 Now we're getting into the more conceptual work, 00:30:45.140 --> 00:30:50.607 those two sentences tend to sensitize the reasons for doing what I'm doing 00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:55.336 now the last three or four years. The first one says that there is a 00:30:55.369 --> 00:31:00.506 direct relationship between liveliness and complexity. 00:31:00.539 --> 00:31:05.806 Things are more lively when there are more complex and this can be checked 00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:12.736 within the biological universe constantly from the beginning of life to 00:31:12.769 --> 00:31:20.707 this to the present. The second sentence connects this idea of lightness 00:31:20.740 --> 00:31:28.066 and complexity with the physical dimensions of the organism, complexity is 00:31:28.099 --> 00:31:31.707 somehow coincidentally miniaturization, 00:31:31.740 --> 00:31:37.816 and the consequences of those two very simple statements is that if the 00:31:37.849 --> 00:31:43.687 city is an expression of liveliness, the city be very complex and 00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:47.207 automatically very miniaturized. 00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:51.867 It might sound very strange, but we might try to get into this idea in a 00:31:51.900 --> 00:31:58.236 discussion and at the end I have some the charts that might help a little 00:31:58.269 --> 00:32:01.806 to understand what I mean. 00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:05.897 This is one of the pages of the sketchbooks that I work with indicating 00:32:05.930 --> 00:32:12.976 very roughly what this translates into. If you take this as a very dia 00:32:13.009 --> 00:32:15.006 grammatical 00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:19.407 scheme of a city. In the section vertical section, you see below the 00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:26.417 ground level, the robot ized aspect of society, which means the production 00:32:26.450 --> 00:32:32.347 and the service system for the life of a certain the human group and above 00:32:32.380 --> 00:32:39.927 ground you have the urban search structure itself containing the private 00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:44.207 and the public sector of the life of this community. 00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:52.240 This includes leading, working, producing, playing basically learning. So 00:32:52.970 --> 00:33:00.970 it contains the institutions that makes the urban life meaningful. 00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:07.137 In order to illustrate this counselor. Which is fairly simple, but it 00:33:07.170 --> 00:33:12.246 might suggest that once you you accept the council, you come out with 00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:19.107 cubes and uh invade the earth with thousands of little largest cubes 00:33:19.140 --> 00:33:25.127 containing Cities. I developed about 40 different schemes just to 00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:30.776 illustrate the concept. So what you see from now on, very schematic, 00:33:30.809 --> 00:33:38.809 abstract symbols over hold on ideas. 00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:44.006 There were some floating suggestions. 00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:51.226 This is one of those schemes, There are two main Types of structures. one 00:33:51.259 --> 00:33:54.107 is the productive 00:33:54.140 --> 00:33:57.907 Germany is the the urban, 00:33:57.940 --> 00:34:04.107 this is the water rival here you have the harvesting of the sea and do you 00:34:04.140 --> 00:34:09.896 have the manipulation transformation the processing of those products into 00:34:09.929 --> 00:34:13.727 mineral chemicals, proteins, who knows what? And then you have the story 00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:18.506 and the shipping research connected with them and some of the urban life 00:34:18.539 --> 00:34:23.847 connected with this activity. You can cluster many of those in time and 00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:31.880 come up with a clustered system connected by those ribbons which contain 00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:40.307 urban activities and gardens and so on. 00:34:40.340 --> 00:34:43.307 Mhm. 00:34:43.340 --> 00:34:48.816 Another scheme based on the same idea floating again, is this one you see 00:34:48.849 --> 00:34:54.907 the skeletal system somehow this 00:34:54.940 --> 00:34:59.796 and again, this could develop from a small hub which will be the original 00:34:59.829 --> 00:35:05.986 town into a larger metropolitan area. If your structure is anchored to the 00:35:06.019 --> 00:35:13.006 continental shelf and say, you can have again, production and service 00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:20.197 systems below water level and the urban life itself above water level or 00:35:20.230 --> 00:35:26.057 encountered with open space. In this case, you can produce energy by using 00:35:26.090 --> 00:35:30.867 the tide because you have an anchored stable system working with a 00:35:30.900 --> 00:35:38.267 changing yeah level of water. So if we have water reservoirs, you can fill 00:35:38.300 --> 00:35:46.300 them and empty to the to the tide flows and produce ability that way. 00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:52.847 one example or somehow of a dead or empty our ecology, which is a name I'm 00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:56.296 using for the structure is a game. 00:35:56.329 --> 00:36:02.936 Adam is a massive block to the flow of water for purposes of the energy 00:36:02.969 --> 00:36:10.566 production, water containment, irrigation and recreation that we could add 00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:18.436 domestic uses or make this dead dumb block of concrete into a living 00:36:18.469 --> 00:36:25.396 system just being after. When we plan them, we planted as a palace as a 00:36:25.429 --> 00:36:33.137 car structure instead of being a dense and monolithic construction. So 00:36:33.170 --> 00:36:40.697 this indicates one of those possibilities on the outside. 00:36:40.730 --> 00:36:48.730 Sorry. Mhm. Mhm. This is a section through here on the inside wall of this 00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:54.376 novel structure, against the water storage, warehousing and some 00:36:54.409 --> 00:37:00.017 industries on the outside wall, you have Holmes 00:37:00.050 --> 00:37:05.557 inside a private sector of the city. From homes, two apartment housing on 00:37:05.590 --> 00:37:10.697 the larger systems which are part of the structure. Also, you can have it 00:37:10.730 --> 00:37:15.236 production, marketing learning and so you can have a heavy heavy 00:37:15.269 --> 00:37:21.206 industries power production in our cities curling up on with water ways 00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:26.497 and parking. 00:37:26.530 --> 00:37:31.026 You have to keep in mind on a damn side, you have everything already 00:37:31.059 --> 00:37:38.829 somehow there from power to water, from recreation to farm possibilities. 00:37:39.130 --> 00:37:41.130 And then you have this massive, very expensive structure that small bags 00:37:43.190 --> 00:37:46.896 for life. 00:37:46.929 --> 00:37:50.956 There's the same schemes, same ideas with different structural scheme. 00:37:50.989 --> 00:37:55.697 This is a small one. This is a much larger one. 00:37:55.730 --> 00:38:00.276 Mhm. 00:38:00.309 --> 00:38:07.387 Some of the example of again, as I was telling you of symbols, Oh, urban 00:38:07.420 --> 00:38:14.166 centers are those two? This is about twice the height of the Palestinian 00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:17.486 building. So, it's a very large structure, but it's a very, very small 00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:23.986 city. It's for about half a million or 400,000 people. I guess suggested 00:38:24.019 --> 00:38:28.026 the car naturally stops at the edge of the city. There is no room for for 00:38:28.059 --> 00:38:34.677 cars inside of the city, pedestrians are again part of the life of the 00:38:34.710 --> 00:38:40.376 city, you can reach everywhere within the city in a few minutes by walking 00:38:40.409 --> 00:38:46.986 by elevators, escalators by moving sidewalks except by bicycle knows what. 00:38:47.019 --> 00:38:50.896 And you can also reach very quickly the outdoor, which is the real 00:38:50.929 --> 00:38:58.929 outdoor is not cluttered outdoor, suburbia or yeah, city park or so on. 00:39:02.219 --> 00:39:08.686 As for all the other ones, you have some kind of accent of the private 00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:16.006 life on the dividing membrane between the cityscape and the landscape, so 00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:21.577 that your climate life is set at the edge of both the cityscape and the 00:39:21.610 --> 00:39:29.610 landscape, which I think is very important. 00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:34.407 This was a scheme for let's say what you might call it twin city of about 00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:39.276 one million population. And keeping in mind that this dimension is no more 00:39:39.309 --> 00:39:44.566 than two miles. I think you're still dealing with a system which allows 00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:51.787 you to communicate and transfer and transport things very swiftly and very 00:39:51.820 --> 00:39:57.626 efficiently. That means that you are cutting down the size of your service 00:39:57.659 --> 00:40:03.617 systems to a fraction of what we need not to keep things going discuss for 00:40:03.650 --> 00:40:11.650 transportation two for help care, learning, policing, 00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:20.077 delivery, tribal and so on. So that you end up by saying that 00:40:20.110 --> 00:40:25.936 miniaturization is not just a way of making things more economic, but it's 00:40:25.969 --> 00:40:33.969 it's an ethical mhm. Aspect how we are going to function if we're going to 00:40:34.139 --> 00:40:38.227 function what we are doing now because we're going to cut into the 00:40:38.260 --> 00:40:46.260 drudgery into the soil of society in a very substantial way. 00:40:47.510 --> 00:40:55.256 If you adopt the leader scheme, you can have a main logistical systems 00:40:55.289 --> 00:41:02.677 cutting through a continent for instance, and then plugged in to this 00:41:02.710 --> 00:41:07.376 system which is ensuring section here all along the building. Let's say 00:41:07.409 --> 00:41:14.436 you can plug your urban structures, situating every city dweller very 00:41:14.469 --> 00:41:19.787 close to the urban institutions, to the land, open land and to the main 00:41:19.820 --> 00:41:27.820 transportation system, including airports on the top of the whole system. 00:41:29.710 --> 00:41:34.907 If this was adopted, you would have to bridge obstacles and this is an 00:41:34.940 --> 00:41:41.106 indication of, let's say, all of us city, bridge county, bridging a canyon 00:41:41.139 --> 00:41:43.876 , 00:41:43.909 --> 00:41:51.077 the same here, bridging a river. 00:41:51.110 --> 00:41:55.677 Those are all integrated into the 00:41:55.710 --> 00:42:02.407 oncology book the book. And as I was saying, there were attempts to 00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:07.856 illustrate the concept and show almost a limitless possibilities. Once you 00:42:07.889 --> 00:42:15.889 introduce the third dimension into your development, Oh, bourbon 00:42:16.099 --> 00:42:18.666 communities, 00:42:18.699 --> 00:42:22.367 mhm 00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:27.566 Sorry, 00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:30.467 mm. 00:42:30.500 --> 00:42:36.066 Those are very schematic models of other ecologies. This is the same one 00:42:36.099 --> 00:42:40.867 indicating the scale, this is the Palestinian building of the same scale. 00:42:40.900 --> 00:42:46.717 See another one, there, another one there, This is for a 450,000 00:42:46.750 --> 00:42:52.017 suggested population. This about 250, 00:42:52.050 --> 00:42:56.066 170,000, This is about 30,000 00:42:56.099 --> 00:43:02.876 and this could be a farming community where the farmer can enjoy the urban 00:43:02.909 --> 00:43:09.186 life if he desires, so he can live there and going farm as many european 00:43:09.219 --> 00:43:16.767 farmers difference. This is a cut out indicating 00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:24.800 what could be the city center life many levels within a some kind of 00:43:25.030 --> 00:43:30.236 conditioned space so that if the climate outside is very harsh, you can 00:43:30.269 --> 00:43:35.867 have a better climate inside without sealing off the city completely 00:43:35.900 --> 00:43:40.467 the same model, 00:43:40.500 --> 00:43:46.867 a larger scheme than this one. 00:43:46.900 --> 00:43:51.986 This is really a cluster of skyscrapers, but it's still being somehow 00:43:52.019 --> 00:43:57.566 segregated because they're only connected at the base like we do now, they 00:43:57.599 --> 00:44:01.427 are desegregated structurally because they are connected at different 00:44:01.460 --> 00:44:09.460 levels. They're connected around the periphery and also regularly 00:44:10.389 --> 00:44:18.276 this indicates a module system that you would be able to somehow shape 00:44:18.309 --> 00:44:24.157 according to your desires for your private environment. 00:44:24.190 --> 00:44:28.157 Sorry. 00:44:28.190 --> 00:44:30.356 Yeah, 00:44:30.389 --> 00:44:32.956 come on. 00:44:32.989 --> 00:44:35.557 Mhm. 00:44:35.590 --> 00:44:40.327 Another scheme a little smaller, about 170,000 in this one, we tried with 00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:46.416 the model to indicate this variety, possibility of organizing spaces and 00:44:46.449 --> 00:44:53.336 structures in very different ways, somehow expressing the individual or 00:44:53.369 --> 00:45:01.369 the team for the corporation that would be involved in the it is life. Uh 00:45:03.710 --> 00:45:07.856 huh. Yeah, 00:45:07.889 --> 00:45:15.889 this is the same one. You was indicated before. 00:45:18.289 --> 00:45:25.157 You have very large playgrounds and gardens for instance at this level. 00:45:25.190 --> 00:45:30.956 Mhm. 00:45:30.989 --> 00:45:34.557 Yeah. 00:45:34.590 --> 00:45:40.256 Mhm. 00:45:40.289 --> 00:45:42.456 Mhm. 00:45:42.489 --> 00:45:46.756 This was the most abstract and the most 00:45:46.789 --> 00:45:53.677 Somehow the terrorizing one and it was intentionally very abstract because 00:45:53.710 --> 00:45:59.347 I was, as I was saying, I was trying to investigate how you can, what you 00:45:59.380 --> 00:46:02.146 can do with 00:46:02.179 --> 00:46:09.986 A space with a solid, let's say in this case a cube or one km inside and 00:46:10.019 --> 00:46:16.896 how you could organize this base into an urban system. And then again, the 00:46:16.929 --> 00:46:24.307 outside skin is the private sector. The inside is the public sector. In 00:46:24.340 --> 00:46:28.546 very rough terms. 00:46:28.579 --> 00:46:31.347 Listen to inside. 00:46:31.380 --> 00:46:35.947 Mm hmm. 00:46:35.980 --> 00:46:43.177 Mhm. Uh huh. One of the Diagrams is a space capsule for about 70,000 00:46:43.210 --> 00:46:48.506 people. The only reason to go into this and I find out more reasons later 00:46:48.539 --> 00:46:55.017 on that at the beginning was to suggest that if we go in outer space with 00:46:55.050 --> 00:47:00.947 terrifying gadgets, we should try to bring some of the biological aspects 00:47:00.980 --> 00:47:05.706 of life we did. And in this case this is a model showing half of the 00:47:05.739 --> 00:47:11.037 structure in this case you're dealing with a cylinder which is rotating on 00:47:11.070 --> 00:47:15.697 this axis so that you have a local gravity, zero gravity here and your 00:47:15.730 --> 00:47:19.697 weight increases by coming down. So if you live in one of those 00:47:19.730 --> 00:47:24.497 skyscrapers, let's say, which are tensile structure by the way, you can 00:47:24.530 --> 00:47:31.847 float out of your apartment or your home navigate in this landscape and 00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:36.646 it's a landscape because it's lined with vegetation which is part of the 00:47:36.679 --> 00:47:43.026 metabolism of this system. So you have fields of wheat or whatever it is 00:47:43.059 --> 00:47:49.747 the most important source or vegetal 00:47:49.780 --> 00:47:53.247 food and 00:47:53.280 --> 00:47:57.967 you are you are inside of a landscape instead of being on top of it as we 00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:05.236 have on this. But you are still somehow in some kind of vestigial 00:48:05.269 --> 00:48:12.497 uh huh landscape biological character. This is a tensile structure because 00:48:12.530 --> 00:48:18.037 it's pushing against the vacuum of space and it's pressurized natural 00:48:18.070 --> 00:48:23.017 because you need an atmosphere. You have water ways so you see the waters 00:48:23.050 --> 00:48:31.050 surrounding you double your Yeah, going around 00:48:31.070 --> 00:48:36.316 and there are many elements that somehow indicate in extreme it's an 00:48:36.349 --> 00:48:44.037 extreme case of self reliance of high complexity, 00:48:44.070 --> 00:48:46.637 great militarization, 00:48:46.670 --> 00:48:50.586 interaction, integration and so on, which are all elements that are 00:48:50.619 --> 00:48:58.236 appearing in the cities anyhow and are very important. This was a scheme 00:48:58.269 --> 00:49:06.017 for an air terminal that becomes a city instead of being a an airport 00:49:06.050 --> 00:49:09.416 which is a known place in the senate. Nobody wants to be there. In any 00:49:09.449 --> 00:49:17.449 case you have a city taking its place and you have the landing strips, 00:49:17.869 --> 00:49:25.869 you're the taxing of aircraft by cable by putting into this tax yngling 00:49:26.070 --> 00:49:30.967 which is this one in section. This is a cut through and that's where your 00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:34.736 stations are. So you learned practically inside of the city. One million 00:49:34.769 --> 00:49:40.486 population 800 m side 2.5 kilometers in diameter. Again, a very large 00:49:40.519 --> 00:49:48.519 building, a very small city and those are all gardens built set on 00:49:50.710 --> 00:49:54.387 industrial parks which which are underground. They're connected with 00:49:54.420 --> 00:50:02.420 railroads, highways and air traffic. This was for the meadows in new york. 00:50:02.960 --> 00:50:09.407 There was talk of a major airport a few years ago for that area. So the 00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:16.227 industries, the main taxing ring storages for cars, 00:50:16.260 --> 00:50:24.260 domain, private sector of the city and the public sector of the city. 00:50:26.059 --> 00:50:33.606 This was in a way a very quick exercise. So it indicates the complexity 00:50:33.639 --> 00:50:39.626 without showing human aspects of it. If you want to 00:50:39.659 --> 00:50:46.727 there are gardens of different levels. There are promenades, 00:50:46.760 --> 00:50:51.606 this will be all green. Mhm 00:50:51.639 --> 00:50:58.126 lending from skyscrapers which are surrounding the whole selection. 00:50:58.159 --> 00:51:03.126 In this case we need some diagrams showing the swiftness that you have in 00:51:03.159 --> 00:51:11.159 circulation and in connecting different events within the structure. 00:51:12.460 --> 00:51:17.727 So in a way they can become longer because of your ability to move quickly 00:51:17.760 --> 00:51:22.106 and swiftly and without too many obstacles from one performance to the 00:51:22.139 --> 00:51:30.139 next. This is the Hancock tower on the same scale. It's Mhm 00:51:32.260 --> 00:51:38.907 this is a service repairman, we give minutes and feet in distance and time 00:51:38.940 --> 00:51:43.227 gaps. 00:51:43.260 --> 00:51:46.126 There was a housewife 00:51:46.159 --> 00:51:54.159 executive, you are examples and finally the Arcosanti project. This was a 00:51:54.179 --> 00:52:01.977 scheme that I did during the planning for Mississippi so it was somehow 00:52:02.010 --> 00:52:08.856 the same scattered kind of organization then I couldn't get this land and 00:52:08.889 --> 00:52:13.186 at the same time I was changing my concepts quite drastically. So I took a 00:52:13.219 --> 00:52:18.566 small part of this building that much and developed it in something far 00:52:18.599 --> 00:52:23.586 more complex, which is the one that we are small working out now this 00:52:23.619 --> 00:52:29.236 little scheme of it, we had structures apps again which I was telling you 00:52:29.269 --> 00:52:37.269 about character, they are able to afford for spaces which are sheltered 00:52:37.860 --> 00:52:42.967 but in the open, Those apps were small and then they became so large that 00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:48.126 the wars themselves became 17 ft in thickness, which means a double 00:52:48.159 --> 00:52:53.396 membrane with living quarters built in. So we have one kind of module 00:52:53.429 --> 00:52:59.947 system here, one another module system, towers one in the beams, different 00:52:59.980 --> 00:53:06.026 ones on the roof and then larger platforms for other modules for homes on 00:53:06.059 --> 00:53:09.316 top of group 00:53:09.349 --> 00:53:14.697 Mr land we are getting It's about 860 acres. We're building on one of 00:53:14.730 --> 00:53:22.730 those ridges. This is a bezel tick rock. The area is cutting through, 00:53:24.050 --> 00:53:28.416 you're about 3.5 miles of this little rhythm. 00:53:28.449 --> 00:53:34.376 And this is the site of the building we began this year too. Do some 00:53:34.409 --> 00:53:36.416 construction. 00:53:36.449 --> 00:53:39.836 We set up a camp which is going to be a playground later on. So those are 00:53:39.869 --> 00:53:45.517 cubicles for two persons each. You're about 00:53:45.550 --> 00:53:51.856 25 or 30 of those cubicles now. And we've been using them this organic 00:53:51.889 --> 00:53:58.416 garden. We have a 14 days recycling of garbage into compost. 00:53:58.449 --> 00:54:03.820 The building is going to be there and we are constructing now in this area. 00:54:04.340 --> 00:54:06.340 This is this 00:54:09.440 --> 00:54:14.717 this year we got some equipment as much as we could afford. This is part 00:54:14.750 --> 00:54:22.750 of the camp. Those are nine x 9 Cubes. This is 12 x 12. 00:54:27.639 --> 00:54:31.236 This is again, it's the building site. We are constructing their, we're 00:54:31.269 --> 00:54:34.637 setting up a little studio for myself, this is a 12 by 12 Cube is going to 00:54:34.670 --> 00:54:40.206 be going to be sent there, 00:54:40.239 --> 00:54:47.506 bathrooms, showers, 00:54:47.539 --> 00:54:52.526 we build an octagon and one reason to build it, we need a building for 00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:58.706 meetings. But the reason to use this is that this is exactly the area of 00:54:58.739 --> 00:55:01.517 one of the towers that we have in the building. We have actually two of 00:55:01.550 --> 00:55:09.550 those towers. So we have a space which we can somehow get to feel what can 00:55:10.320 --> 00:55:17.606 be doing what we can do with it and so on. Yeah, 00:55:17.639 --> 00:55:24.787 so this is the octagon, 00:55:24.820 --> 00:55:29.106 that's the camp. Two years ago we built a little canvas 00:55:29.139 --> 00:55:34.836 Kitchen and eight rooms this year. We set up this much. Then we started 00:55:34.869 --> 00:55:39.106 the construction, 00:55:39.139 --> 00:55:44.236 Visit one of the foundations for the Casting plant. We have a bolt here 00:55:44.269 --> 00:55:49.517 that is going, it's about 60 by 40. It's going to be at the beginning of 00:55:49.550 --> 00:55:55.287 casting matching plant. Does the foundations for 100 peers. The vault is 00:55:55.320 --> 00:56:00.197 going to arch here. 00:56:00.230 --> 00:56:05.997 This is a nice structure which is going to be the ceramics workshop area. 00:56:06.030 --> 00:56:14.030 It's going to alan apps. It's an absolutely about 45 Yeah, 00:56:14.929 --> 00:56:18.566 well that's one of my panels of my cuba. I'm doing some texture with soil 00:56:18.599 --> 00:56:20.997 , 00:56:21.030 --> 00:56:29.030 this is mud put on the slab before you cast this. 00:56:29.730 --> 00:56:32.686 This is where the vault is going to be. We're going to develop the pre 00:56:32.719 --> 00:56:37.097 cast in this back in this area. 00:56:37.130 --> 00:56:43.697 This is a, the recasting of the vault and what we did. We got some silt 00:56:43.730 --> 00:56:50.327 And we made 12 panels. You see six years and then we're going to assemble 00:56:50.360 --> 00:56:56.517 those. We'll use color again on the silk and this is we know and painted 00:56:56.550 --> 00:57:01.617 and it's going to be incorporated and pulled away. So you have a real 00:57:01.650 --> 00:57:08.497 change in surface and texture. Getting the casting itself. 00:57:08.530 --> 00:57:10.796 Okay. 00:57:10.829 --> 00:57:16.117 The same technique used here for my cube. This is a section of the 00:57:16.150 --> 00:57:19.177 building. 00:57:19.210 --> 00:57:27.210 They said textures. 00:57:28.730 --> 00:57:33.796 Yeah, 00:57:33.829 --> 00:57:39.646 We had about 250 students involved this year. We are planning for about 00:57:39.679 --> 00:57:44.197 300 next year 00:57:44.230 --> 00:57:48.316 service kinetic plan of the building were constructed now in this area 00:57:48.349 --> 00:57:52.657 next year we are building a an eating place where that might become a 00:57:52.690 --> 00:57:58.256 restaurant later on eating an exhibition of crabs here. Then we're going 00:57:58.289 --> 00:58:02.526 to finish to structure for housing in here. And then possibly we start 00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:08.997 another structure here for housing and performing and the year after we 00:58:09.030 --> 00:58:12.686 hope we'll start with the main structure. 00:58:12.719 --> 00:58:18.486 Now, those spaces which are outside the shelter have different climates. 00:58:18.519 --> 00:58:24.287 Those are exposed to the south was exposed to the north, northwest, north. 00:58:24.320 --> 00:58:30.347 He's not not these east and west so that in each, in each one of those 00:58:30.380 --> 00:58:36.416 spaces you have quite a different climate outdoor very much shaded here. 00:58:36.449 --> 00:58:40.756 Summer and winter sunny in the winter is sharing or something here and so 00:58:40.789 --> 00:58:43.387 on. 00:58:43.420 --> 00:58:46.827 And this is a section of cutting through here, showing some of the 00:58:46.860 --> 00:58:52.177 structures inside. It could be changed in time. Does the columns of which 00:58:52.210 --> 00:58:58.727 we made the octagon plan building as I was telling you. The roof is fairly 00:58:58.760 --> 00:59:02.267 complex and sticking out from the roof of the columns with the platforms 00:59:02.300 --> 00:59:06.686 for larger home sides. 00:59:06.719 --> 00:59:10.887 This is the large model. 00:59:10.920 --> 00:59:15.827 one of the structures comes down to the campsite we're building now in 00:59:15.860 --> 00:59:21.486 here. 00:59:21.519 --> 00:59:25.697 Sorry about that slide, you can see the scale, there is a person a person 00:59:25.730 --> 00:59:30.287 there. 00:59:30.320 --> 00:59:38.320 Oh boy. 00:59:39.619 --> 00:59:44.586 So to the east side, this would be cut about 00:59:44.619 --> 00:59:48.586 color into the landscape. 00:59:48.619 --> 00:59:52.956 If you see it from the lower land, you see the importance of the roof as a 00:59:52.989 --> 00:59:58.407 big umbrella sharing a very large volume, which is about the best air 00:59:58.440 --> 01:00:02.546 conditioning system in this part of the country or in that part of the 01:00:02.579 --> 01:00:07.977 country About 2700 ft above sea level. 01:00:08.010 --> 01:00:13.807 This suggests the variation that individuals would could do with their own 01:00:13.840 --> 01:00:17.646 spaces. If you have a room, there are a double room or a little apartment 01:00:17.679 --> 01:00:24.796 , you can somehow design the inside and also spill out with some of your 01:00:24.829 --> 01:00:29.677 little balconies or a special windows and so on. 01:00:29.710 --> 01:00:34.227 This was a little larger model for some of the structural problems. We 01:00:34.260 --> 01:00:41.557 might do something furnishing and interior design as an example. This is 01:00:41.590 --> 01:00:46.356 one of the spaces and you look inside of the building on this side and in 01:00:46.389 --> 01:00:52.057 the landscape of that side. So you are between the outside and the 01:00:52.090 --> 01:00:56.086 landscape and the cityscape somehow by living in one of those we're 01:00:56.119 --> 01:00:59.887 building. We have been building this summer part of this structure and 01:00:59.920 --> 01:01:06.807 this and we got up to that point in destruction. These ceramics, there'll 01:01:06.840 --> 01:01:09.986 be the kills in here. There'll be a playground in the back. That's why 01:01:10.019 --> 01:01:17.269 those things put Children between this work area and the living quarters. 01:01:24.610 --> 01:01:26.610 Those are the four last slides and 01:01:31.909 --> 01:01:39.909 doesn't steal some of the volumes for living and working in the apse is 01:01:40.309 --> 01:01:48.077 okay. 01:01:48.110 --> 01:01:54.296 Does anyone, can anyone read? Well, english, I can't could anyone come up 01:01:54.329 --> 01:01:56.977 and lead? 01:01:57.010 --> 01:01:59.577 No. 01:01:59.610 --> 01:02:03.916 Okay, well that's the last slide of the building we have we got up to here. 01:02:03.949 --> 01:02:09.727 We we pre cast the vault the cord was but we didn't put them together. We 01:02:09.760 --> 01:02:14.796 have we build part of this storage, we're going to build this next and we 01:02:14.829 --> 01:02:21.166 go on from there. 01:02:21.199 --> 01:02:29.199 Uh huh boy. 01:02:33.400 --> 01:02:39.566 Yeah. 01:02:39.599 --> 01:02:44.867 Yeah. 01:02:44.900 --> 01:02:48.867 Yeah. 01:02:48.900 --> 01:02:54.666 Mhm 01:02:54.699 --> 01:03:00.566 Yeah. 01:03:00.599 --> 01:03:08.599 Don't start with that. Okay, mm mm assumption consequence of the porch 01:03:09.670 --> 01:03:15.436 it's or divine tree, real life. The universe of mass energy prices of 01:03:15.469 --> 01:03:23.469 Imperialism self into spirit. Yeah. Interest bit more massive. Spirit. 01:03:24.400 --> 01:03:32.400 Ever increasing couple systems carrying. Mhm mhm The special mechanism of 01:03:32.489 --> 01:03:38.066 putting more or less how important.
