My favorite architectural scene in all movies is when Dorothy opens the door
2
and outside the door it's color from black and white and
3
that quite possibly is the first time most people had ever seen color film in their life.
4
The right sort of build up to something really beautiful,
5
I call it choreography.
6
The best way to experience architecture is by moving through it and scanning and looking around.
7
And so if you realize that,
8
then you can make the architecture amplify the place.
9
I'm Jim Cutler, Principal Designer at Cutler Anderson Architects,
10
and I designed this place about 10 years ago.
11
I got a call, like we always do,
12
from potential clients, and they had already chosen a piece of land.
13
It was a hilltop and it was a really beautiful spot
14
but I needed to remind them that it's very easy to bring cars into places
15
but it's really hard to get them out.
16
We were coming down from that hilltop
17
and I noticed a visual clearing in the woods and I said what's that over there?
18
They said oh it's an old logging pond you know it's all filled in
19
and I walked around there's this wonderful tree stump outside here
20
and i said you know
21
if i was going to design something for you i'd design something here
22
and i would integrate the building and the pond as one thing
23
and they asked me why and i explained to them at
24
that point in my career i had become very versed to
25
killing anything any living thing i mean the world is just
26
so beautiful and everything has the same right to be here whether it's inanimate or a plant or a creature.
27
For many years I felt that fostering life,
28
creating habitat is a high calling in life.
29
You know water fosters life and I could somehow integrate a pond in a building.
30
If we build it they will come, put it that way.
31
And one time I was out here with Michael,
32
one half of the owners,
33
and he's very in touch with the living world.
34
So we were sitting out here in the evening and said,
35
you know, in about 10 minutes the flickers are going to come by
36
and they're going to start eating the insects off the pond.
37
10 minutes the flickers come by and then the swallows are going to come by.
38
The swallows come in.
39
It's getting a little dark.
40
I think the bats are going to come in.
41
Bats come in.
42
This place had connected him to the rhythms of life that water fosters.
43
The power of architecture is emotional.
44
When you choose a place that you're going to dwell in,
45
then there's an obligation to know that place well because there's life.
46
We're coming up the walk to the house
47
and we deliberately parked guests far away and we designed it in a way to make it actually quite narrow.
48
And you can see that you sense the clearing just by the amount of sky you can see beyond these trees.
49
But to reinforce what happens when you walk in the front door that you open up to the pond,
50
we even tighten the path up further.
51
And then as you come on the house,
52
you know there's something special on the other side of that door,
53
and we wanted to give some implication you were going to get there,
54
but the door then acts as the foil.
55
I'm squeezing you because the tighter it is, the bigger big feels.
56
The lighter it is, the darker dark is.
57
By contrast, they amplify one another.
58
But I don't want to be like,
59
boo, to surprise you when you walk in the door.
60
So I wanted to bring a little bit of the pond on that side.
61
And I wanted you to see over the roof
62
so you could sense the clearing on this side and create a level of anticipation of arriving somewhere.
63
These are steel beams holding this up.
64
The reason they're steel beams is we thought we'd have a lot of view.
65
If I had to do this in wood,
66
it would have been much thicker and deeper.
67
And we would have blocked view.
68
So then you have to start using materials within their nature.
69
Once you get going on a design,
70
and if you're lucky, and if you're listening,
71
it tells you what it wants.
72
It's this sort of cacophony of different voices for me.
73
The steel wants to show what it can do.
74
The wood wants to show what it can do.
75
You know, the forest wants to show its history and its nature.
76
The water wants to show how it fosters life.
77
How do you take all that cacophony of voices and you turn it into a harmony?
78
That's my job.
79
The owners wanted the stronger connection of the pond as possible.
80
So when we designed this,
81
I had a lot of fun.
82
Kind of see this right here?
83
It's about a 400-pound piece of lead.
84
And there's one on either side that counterweight this door.
85
Let's see if it'll open.
86
Well, that's an 800-pound door,
87
and that wasn't so hard to lift because now you can see the leads all the way down here.
88
And that is a heavy piece of lead.
89
And so we have three of them,
90
one at the kitchen, one at the living room,
91
and one in the bedroom.
92
So that when you're in the building,
93
you don't necessarily need to be in the building you can be in the pond.
94
Oh, another frog.
95
Nope, two frogs.
96
Look at them.
97
You gotta have a place to dive off.
98
You don't want to splash water back on the oak floor.
99
And, you know, it just seemed like such a poetic spot to sit in the eeple.
100
You can take it all in.
101
All the sounds, all the animals, everything.
102
And to some degree you can take in the silence.
103
It's a nice kitchen.
104
We wanted to have a window there,
105
and it was also the best possible place for the range.
106
It was a fun thing to design, and it works.
107
Shocking well.
108
Well, the fireplace is the lateral stability.
109
We're in a sizable earthquake zone,
110
And if you do a roof like this,
111
where you can see all the way from one end to the other,
112
that's a lot of load up high,
113
so that if an earthquake wants to move the building sideways,
114
well, it's going to do it.
115
And the only way to restrain that lateral movement is with some degree of mass or a structural stability in this axis.
116
So the fireplace is a structural element
117
and it's for me a statement about the lateral forces that are endemic to this region.
118
I'd say 95% of the building was from this region,
119
you know, and it's reflective of this region.
120
Gluam beams were invented here,
121
vertical grain for plywood was invented here,
122
and comes here because this is the only place Douglas fir grows and it's light.
123
So it's well suited for structure.
124
Cedar, which the outside of the building is made of red cedar,
125
which is from here, it's highly aerated.
126
It's a very light, physically light wood,
127
and it's extremely rot resistant.
128
So we're using it within its nature.
129
We're using the Douglas fir within its nature.
130
So you'll notice there are little bits of concrete out on the corners here.
131
They all line up.
132
So when you look at the side plane of this,
133
it looks like an ancient giant swimming pool that has been partly,
134
let's say, subsumed by detritus and sediments.
135
But still there's a vestige of that swimming pool.
136
I look back on it now,
137
it's a little bit of a frou-frou metaphor.
138
But I wanted to create a sense of time.
139
and by leaving objects in the landscape it pushes the time reference for the project.
140
Bedroom is pretty much all the same in the sense one
141
thing I would say is it is class between living a little bit better because we wanted the roof,
142
which is the sheltering element,
143
to be one continuous plane.
144
It would be a parrot to make this feel more like a pavilion.
145
You know, when you think of pavilion,
146
you think of an outdoor area under a roof.
147
My God, that cat has a regal pose.
148
See?
149
I like the label, he's a good one.
150
And you have to walk outside to get the guest house.
151
And I'll tell you, I built a little cabin for my daughter and myself.
152
She actually helped build it when she was 11.
153
It's a wonderful thing, and it's only about 35 feet from the front door of our house.
154
And there is not one night that goes by
155
when I'm running back and forth and look out at the water
156
or listen to the wind in the trees or look at the moon or what planets are coming by.
157
And I had no hesitation in making
158
that separation where you've got to walk outside to get to another room of the house.
159
When you go from this one to that one, you experience the outside.
160
You hear the water.
161
You see the water.
162
And if it's windy, you hear the trees.
163
If it's snowing or raining,
164
you hear the water coming down in the pond.
165
Why not experience the place fully?
166
I mean, it's really a joy.
167
I talked about architecture being shelter.
168
We could take that and say it's clothing, right?
169
Keeps you warm and dry.
170
So if you're clothing the institution of family,
171
you better know it's anatomy.
172
I mean, you're wearing a sweatshirt right now,
173
and might be from the Gap for all I know,
174
but one size kind of fits all it's got sleeves
175
and a hole for your head and you know piece to cover your trunk
176
but in a way that's that's no different than this house
177
or the institution of family that you're going to clothe
178
because families have very specific qualities there are public zones like the room we're in
179
and there are private zones like the bedrooms
180
and there are decision points like entries where you get to
181
make a decision whether you want to participate on something in the public
182
or you want to go to your private zone
183
and they don't want to mix they want to have as much separation as possible
184
and in small houses that's tricky
185
but that's the anatomy you're trying to clothe the only difference between me
186
and the gap is you can think of me more as a civil row you know, tailor.
187
I tailor things.
188
When you bring someone to an emotional understanding of things,
189
of something that's beautiful, they learn to love it.
190
And teaching people to love the living world is actually,
191
I think, the highest quality that any human being could have.
192
because we're killing this place.
193
I want to describe a method of working that is different than the mainstream.
194
And I'm hoping that I get a few lucky souls that get it and move in that direction.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
