Mark Ellison akamira pauriri hweplywood, akatarisa imba yetaundi yakaparadzwa yezana ramakore rechi 19. Pamusoro pake, majoists, matanda, uye waya zvinopinda muchiedza chepakati, sedandemutande rinopenga. Haasati anyatsoziva kuti ogadzira sei chinhu ichi. Zvinoenderana nechirongwa chemugadziri wezvivakwa, imba iyi ichava imba huru yekugezera-yakakomberedzwa plaster goko, inopenya nepinhole mwenje. Asi sirin'i haina musoro. Hafu yayo ivhairi remadhiramu, semukati mekereke yeRoma; imwe hafu ivault yezvidya, senge nave yecathedral. Pabepa, curve yeimwe dome inoyerera zvakanaka ichipinda mu elliptic curve yeimwe dome. Asi kuvarega vachiita izvi mumativi matatu ishungu. "Ndakaratidza madhirowa kumuimbi webhendi," akadaro Ellison. “Iye inyanzvi yefizikisi, saka ndakamubvunza kuti, 'Unogona kuverenga here izvi?' Akati kwete.’”
Mitsetse yakatwasuka iri nyore, asi macurves akaoma. Ellison akati dzimba zhinji ingori muunganidzwa wemabhokisi. Tinoaisa padivi nepadivi kana kuti akaturikidzana, sevana vari kutamba nemabhuroko ekuvaka. Wedzera denga retatu uye wapedza. Kana chivakwa ichi chichiri kuvakwa nemaoko, maitiro aya anozogadzira dzimwe nguva macurves-igloos, madhaka edzimba, huts, yurts-uye vagadziri vakawana kufarirwa kwavo nemaarch uye domes. Asi kugadzirwa kwakawanda kwemaumbirwo akadzikama kwakachipa, uye imwe neimwe sahwi uye fekitori inozvigadzira muhukuru hwakafanana: zvidhinha, mapuranga emapuranga, gypsum board, ceramic tiles. Ellison akati uhwu hudzvinyiriri hwemunhu.
“Izviwo handizvikwanisi,” akawedzera, achikwenya. "Asi ndinogona kugadzirira." Ellison muvezi—vamwe vanoti ndiye muvezi akanakisisa muNew York, kunyange zvazvo izvi zvisingabatanidzwi. Zvichienderana nebasa racho, Ellison zvakare muvezi, muvezi, kondirakiti, muvezi, mugadziri uye mugadziri wemaindasitiri. Iye muvezi, sezvakangoita Filippo Brunelleschi, mugadziri weDome yeFlorence Cathedral, ndiinjiniya. Ndiye munhu akashandirwa kuvaka zvisingagoneki.
Pauriri huri pasi pedu, vashandi vari kutakura plywood vachikwidza seti yemasitepisi enguva pfupi, vachinzvenga mataira anenge apera kupera pamusuwo. Mapombi newaya zvinopinda pano pauriri hwechitatu, zvichitenderera pasi pemajoists uye pasi, nepo chikamu chemasitepisi chinosimudzwa nepamahwindo pauriri hwechina. Boka revashandi vesimbi rakanga richidziisa panzvimbo, richipfapfaidza pfarivari yakareba tsoka mudenga. Pauriri hwechishanu, pasi pesirin'i iri kusimuka yestudio yeskylight, mamwe matanda esimbi ari pachena ari kupendwa, nepo muvezi akavaka kamuri padenga, uye muvezi wematombo akakurumidza kupfuura pachikafu chekunze kuti agadzirise madziro ekunze ezvidhinha nematombo ebrown. . Iri ingori nyonganiso panzvimbo yekuvaka. Zvinoita sezvisina kurongeka ichokwadi chakaoma kunzwisisa chinoumbwa nevashandi vane hunyanzvi uye zvikamu, zvakarongwa mwedzi mishoma pachine nguva mberi, uye zvino zvakaunganidzwa muhurongwa hwakafanorongwa. Kunoita sekuuraya vanhu vakawanda kuvhiyiwa kunovakazve. Mapfupa uye nhengo dzechivako uye circulatory system yakazaruka sevarwere vari patafura yekushanda. Ellison akati kunogara kuine mhirizhonga isati yasimuka. Pashure pemwedzi mishomanana, handina kukwanisa kuzviziva.
Akafamba achienda pakati peimba huru ndokumira ipapo sedombo riri murukova achinangisa mvura, asingapfakanyiki. Ellison ane makore 58 ekuberekwa uye ave ari muvezi kwemakore anoda kusvika makumi mana. Murume mukuru ane mapendekete anorema uye akarereka. Ane maoko akasimba uye nzwara dzine nyama, musoro une mhanza nemiromo ine nyama, zvakabuda mundebvu dzake dzakabvaruka. Kune simba remwongo wakadzika maari, uye rakasimba kuverenga: anoita kunge akagadzirwa nezvinhu zvakaonda kupfuura vamwe. Nezwi rakashata uye rakafara, maziso akasvinura, anotaridzika senge hunhu kubva kuna Tolkien kana Wagner: akangwara Nibelungen, muiti wepfuma. Anofarira michina, moto uye simbi dzinokosha. Anoda huni, ndarira nedombo. Akatenga musanganiswa wesimende uye akabatikana nawo kwemakore maviri-asingakwanisi kumira. Akataura kuti chakamukwezva kuti atore chikamu mune chimwe chirongwa yaive mukana wemashiripiti, izvo zvaive zvisingatarisirwi. Kupenya kwedombo kunounza mamiriro enyika.
“Hapana akambondipinza basa kuti ndiite zvechivanhu zvivakwa,” akadaro. “Mabhirionaire haadi zvinhu zvekare zvakafanana. Vanoda zviri nani kupfuura nguva yekupedzisira. Vanoda chimwe chinhu chisina munhu akambomboita. Iyi inzvimbo yavo yekugara chete uye inogona kunge isiri kuchenjera. " Dzimwe nguva izvi zvichaitika. Chishamiso; kazhinji kwete. Ellison akavakira dzimba David Bowie, Woody Allen, Robin Williams, nevamwe vazhinji vaasingakwanise kudoma nemazita. Chirongwa chake chakachipa chinodhura mari inosvika 5 miriyoni emadhora ekuAmerica, asi mamwe mapurojekiti anogona kukwira kusvika pamamiriyoni makumi mashanu kana kudarika. "Kana vachida Downton Abbey, ndinogona kuvapa Downton Abbey," akadaro. “Kana vachida bhavhu remuRoma ndinorivaka. Ndakaita dzimwe nzvimbo dzinotyisa-ndinoreva, zvinotyisa zvinotyisa. Asi ini handina poni mumutambo. Kana vachida Studio 54, Ini Ichavakwa. Asi ichave iri Studio 54 yepamusorosoro yavakamboona, uye imwe Studio 56 ichawedzerwa.”
New York's high-end real estate iripo mune microcosm pachayo, ichitsamira pane isinganzwisisike nonlinear masvomhu. Haina zvipingamupinyi zvakajairika, seshongwe yetsono yakasimudzwa kuti igare nayo. Kunyangwe munzvimbo yakadzika yedambudziko remari, muna 2008, vapfumi vepamusoro vakaramba vachivaka. Vanotenga zvivakwa nemitengo yakaderera voishandura kuita dzimba dzeumbozha dzekurojesa. Kana kuvasiya vasina chinhu, uchifunga kuti musika uchapora. Kana kuti vatore kubva kuChina kana Saudi Arabia, zvisingaonekwe, vachifunga kuti guta richiri nzvimbo yakachengeteka yekumisa mamirioni. Kana kuti kufuratira zvachose upfumi, uchifunga kuti hauzovakuvadzi. Mumwedzi mishoma yekutanga denda, vanhu vazhinji vaitaura nezvevakapfuma vekuNew York vaitiza guta. Musika wese waidonha, asi mukudonha, musika wedzimba dzeumbozha wakatanga kudzokororwa: musvondo rapfuura raGunyana chete, dzimba dzinosvika makumi maviri neimwe muManhattan dzakatengeswa nemari inodarika madhora mana. "Zvese zvatinoita hazvina kuchenjera," akadaro Ellison. “Hapana achawedzera kukosha kana kutengesa sezvatinoita nedzimba. Hapana anoida. Vanongoda chete."
New York ingangove inzvimbo yakaoma kwazvo munyika kuvaka zvivakwa. Nzvimbo yekuvaka chero chinhu idiki kwazvo, mari yekuivaka yakawandisa, pamwe nekumanikidza, sekuvaka geyser, shongwe dzegirazi, Gothic skyscrapers, tembere dzeEgypt uye Bauhaus pasi zvinobhururuka mumhepo. Kana paine chero chinhu, yavo yemukati yakatonyanya kusarudzika-anoshamisa makristasi fomu kana kudzvanywa kuchipinda mukati. Tora lifti yakavanzika kuenda kuPark Avenue yekugara, musuwo unogona kuvhurwa kune yekuFrance nyika yekutandarira kana yekuvhima yeChirungu yekuvhima, iyo minimalist loft kana raibhurari yeByzantine. Denga rakazara nevatsvene uye vakafira kutenda. Hapana logic inogona kutungamirira kubva kune imwe nzvimbo kuenda kune imwe. Iko hakuna mutemo wenzvimbo kana tsika yekuvaka inobatanidza 12 o'clock palace ne 24 o'clock shrine. Vatenzi vavo vakangofanana navo.
“Handiwani basa mumaguta akawanda eUnited States,” Ellison akandiudza kudaro. “Basa iri hariko ikoko. Ndezvemunhu.” New York ine dzimba dzakati sandara dzakafanana uye zvivakwa zvepamusoro-soro, asi kunyangwe izvi zvinogona kuiswa muzvivakwa zvakakosha kana kusungirirwa munzvimbo dzine chimiro chisinganzwisisike, panheyo dzebhokisi rejecha. Kudedera kana kuchonjomara pazvitsigiro zvechina chemamaira kureba. Mushure memazana mana emakore ekuvaka uye kuputika pasi, rinenge bhuroka yega yega inopenga yechimiro uye chimiro, uye nguva yega yega ine matambudziko ayo. Imba yekoloni yakanaka kwazvo, asi isina kusimba. Huni dzadzo hadzisi honi dzakaomeswa, saka chero mapuranga ekutanga anomonereka, kuora kana kutsemuka. Mabhomba edzimba dzemutaundi 1,800 akanaka kwazvo, asi hapana chimwe. Madziro avo anogona kunge akakora chidhinha chimwe chete, uye dhaka racho rakakukurwa nemvura. Zvivako pamberi pehondo zvakanga zvisingapindi bara, asi pombi dzazvo dzesimbi dzakaumbwa dzakanga dzakazara nokuora, uye pombi dzendarira dzakanga dzisina kusimba uye dzakatsemuka. "Kana ukavaka imba muKansas, haufanirwe kuita hanya nazvo," akadaro Ellison.
Zvivako zvepakati pezana remakore zvinogona kunge zvakanyanya kuvimbika, asi teerera kune izvo zvakavakwa mushure me 1970. Kuvaka kwakasununguka mu80s. Vashandi nenzvimbo dzebasa dzinowanzo tungamirirwa nemafia. “Kana uchida kupasa ongororo yebasa rako, munhu achafona ari parunhare rweveruzhinji uye iwe uchaburuka nehamvuropu yemadhora mazana maviri nemakumi mashanu,” akadaro Ellison. Chivako chitsva chinogona kunge chakashata. Mufurati reumbozha muGramercy Park raKarl Lagerfeld, madziro ekunze ari kubvinza zvakanyanya, uye mamwe pasi ari kubvunda kunge machipisi embatatisi. Asi maererano nezvakaitika kuna Ellison, yakaipisisa iTrump Tower. Muimba yaakagadziridza, mahwindo aitinhira achipfuura, pakanga pasina mitsetse yemamiriro ekunze, uye dunhu raiita serakabatanidzwa netambo dzekuwedzera. Akandiudza kuti pasi harina kuenzana, unogona kudonhedza chimedu chemarble wochiona chichikunguruka.
Kudzidza zvikanganiso uye utera hwenguva yega yega ibasa rehupenyu hwese. Iko hakuna doctorate muzvivakwa zvepamusoro-soro. Vavezi havana maribhoni ebhuruu. Iyi ndiyo nzvimbo yepedyo muUnited States kusangano rekare, uye kudzidzira basa kwakareba uye kwakangoitika. Ellison anofungidzira kuti zvichatora makore 15 kuti ave muvezi ane unyanzvi, uye basa raari kuita richatora mamwe makore 15. “Vanhu vakawanda havazvifariri. Zvinoshamisa uye zvakaoma,” akadaro. MuNew York, kunyangwe kuputsa hunyanzvi hunyanzvi. Mumaguta mazhinji, vashandi vanogona kushandisa mbariro nesando kukanda marara mugaba remarara. Asi muchivako chizere nevapfumi, varidzi vanonzwisisa, vashandi vanofanira kuvhiya. Chero tsvina kana ruzha zvingaita kuti horo yeguta ishevedze, uye pombi yakaputsika inogona kuparadza Degas. Nokudaro, masvingo anofanira kubviswa zvakanyatsonaka, uye zvidimbu zvinofanira kuiswa mumidziyo inoputika kana 55-gallon dhiramu, yakapfapfaidzwa kugadzirisa guruva, uye yakavharwa nepurasitiki. Kungoputsa imba chete kunogona kuita chikamu chimwe muzvitatu cheUS$1 miriyoni.
Mazhinji maco-ops uye dzimba dzeumbozha dzinotevedzera "mitemo yezhizha." Vanongobvumira kuvaka pakati peZuva reChirangaridzo neZuva reBasa, apo muridzi ari kuzorora muTuscany kana Hampton. Izvi zvawedzera matambudziko atove makuru ekugadzirisa zvinhu. Iko hakuna driveway, kuseri kwemba, kana nzvimbo yakavhurika yekuisa zvinhu. Nzira dzemumativi dzakatetepa, masitepisi madiki uye akamanikana, uye lifti yakazara nevanhu vatatu. Zvakafanana nekugadzira chikepe mubhodhoro. Rori payakasvika paine murwi wemadziro, yakanomira kuseri kwerori yaifamba. Nenguva isipi, kutsvikinyidzana kwemotokari, hwamanda dzakarira, uye mapurisa akanga ava kubudisa matikiti. Ipapo muvakidzani akaisa chichemo uye webhusaiti yakavharwa. Kunyange kana mvumo iri muhurongwa, kodhi yekuvaka irabhu yenzira dzinofamba. Zvivakwa zviviri muEast Harlem zvakaputika, zvichikonzera kuongororwa kwakaomarara kwegasi. Rusvingo runochengetedza paColumbia University rwakadonha ndokuuraya mudzidzi, zvichikonzera chiyero chitsva chekunze. Mukomana mudiki akadonha kubva panhurikidzwa yemakumi mashanu nenhatu. Kubva zvino zvichienda mberi, mahwindo emakamuri ose ane vana haagoni kuvhurwa kupfuura masendimita mana nehafu. “Kune chirevo chekare chokuti mitemo yokuvaka inonyorwa muropa,” Ellison akandiudza kudaro. “Yakanyorwawo nemavara anosvota.” Makore mashoma apfuura, Cindy Crawford aive nemapato akawanda uye chibvumirano chitsva cheruzha chakazvarwa.
Nguva yese iyi, vashandi pavanenge vachifambisa zvipingamupinyi zveguta, uye sezvo kupera kwezhizha kunoswedera, varidzi vari kugadzirisa zvirongwa zvavo zvekuwedzera kuomarara. Gore rakapera, Ellison akapedza makore matatu, 42 miriyoni US dollar 72nd Street penthouse renovation project. Imba iyi ine nhurikidzwa nhanhatu uye 20,000 masikweya tsoka. Asati apedza, aifanira kugadzira nekuvaka zvinopfuura 50 tsika fenicha uye mechanical midziyo nokuda kwayo-kubva paTV inodzokororwa pamusoro pechoto chekunze kusvika kumusuwo-uchapupu hwemwana wakafanana neorigami. Kambani yekutengeserana inogona kutora makore kugadzira uye kuyedza chigadzirwa chimwe nechimwe. Ellison ane mavhiki mashoma. "Hatina nguva yekugadzira prototypes," akadaro. “Vanhu ava vanoda kwazvo kupinda munzvimbo iyi. Saka ndaiva nemukana. Isu takagadzira prototype, uye vakabva vagara mairi. "
Ellison nemumwe wake Adam Marelli vakagara patafura yeplywood mudhorobha, vachiongorora hurongwa hwezuva. Ellison anowanzo shanda semugadziri akazvimirira uye anopihwa basa kuti avake zvikamu zvepurojekiti. Asi iye naMagneti Marelli munguva pfupi yapfuura vakabatana kuti vatarise chirongwa chekugadzirisa. Ellison ane basa rekugadzirisa uye kupera kwechivako - madziro, masitepisi, makabati, mataira uye matanda - nepo Marelli ane basa rekutarisa mashandiro ayo emukati: pombi dzemvura, magetsi, masprinklers uye mhepo. Marelli, makumi mana, akawana kudzidziswa semuimbi akatanhamara paNew York University. Akashandisa nguva yake kupenda, kuvaka, kutora mafoto uye kusefa muLavalette, New Jersey. Nebvudzi rake refu rebrown rakamonana uye mutete wemuhudyu maitiro, anoita seanoshamisa shamwari yaEllison nechikwata chake-elf pakati pemabhuru. Asi aive akabatikana nehunyanzvi saEllison. Mukati mebasa ravo, vaitaura zvine hushamwari pakati pemapurani nemafacade, iyo Napoleonic Code uye nhanho dzeRajasthan, ukuwo vachikurukura nezvetemberi dzeJapan uye mavakirwo emitauro yechiGiriki. "Izvo zvese nezve ellipses uye nhamba dzisina musoro," akadaro Ellison. “Uyu ndiwo mutauro wemimhanzi nehunyanzvi. Zvakafanana nehupenyu: hapana chinogadziriswa wega. "
Iri raive svondo rekutanga kudzokera kunzvimbo iyi mushure memwedzi mitatu. Nguva yekupedzisira pandakaona Ellison pakupera kwaFebruary, paakanga achirwa nedenga rekugezera, uye aitarisira kupedza basa iri pamberi pezhizha. Zvinhu zvose zvakabva zvangoerekana zvapera. Pakatanga denda iri, pakanga paine 40,000 nzvimbo dzekuvaka dzinoshanda muNew York — inopeta nekaviri nhamba yemaresitorendi muguta. Pakutanga, nzvimbo idzi dzakaramba dzakavhurika sebhizinesi rekutanga. Mune mamwe mapurojekiti ane mhosva dzakasimbiswa, vashandi havana sarudzo kunze kwekuenda kubasa uye kutora lifti pauriri hwemakumi maviri kana kupfuura. Yakanga isiri kusvika pakupera kwaKurume, mushure mekuratidzira kwevashandi, kuti dzinosvika makumi mapfumbamwe muzana dzenzvimbo dzebasa dzakazovharwa. Kunyangwe mumba, unogona kunzwa kusavapo, sekunge pasina ruzha rwemotokari kamwe kamwe. Ruzha rwezvivako zvinokwira kubva pasi ndiwo matauriro eguta—kurova kwemwoyo waro. Kwakanga kwave kunyarara zvino.
Ellison akapedza chitubu ari ega mu studio yake muNewburgh, ingori chinhambwe cheawa imwe chete kubva kuHudson River. Anogadzira zvikamu zveimba yetaundi uye anonyatso tarisisa kune ma subcontractors ake. Makambani anokwana makumi matatu nematatu anoronga kutora chikamu muchirongwa ichi, kubva kuvanovaka matenga nevanovaka zvidhinha kusvika kune vapfuri vesimbi nevagadziri vekongiri. Haazive kuti vangani vanhu vachadzoka kubva kuquarantine. Basa rekugadzirisa kazhinji rinosara kumashure kwehupfumi nemakore maviri. Muridzi anogamuchira bhonasi yeKisimusi, anohaya mugadziri wezvivakwa uye kondirakiti, obva amirira kuti mifananidzo ipere, mvumo inopihwa, uye vashandi vanobuda mumatambudziko. Panozotanga kuvaka, kazhinji kunenge kwanyanya kunonoka. Asi ikozvino zvivakwa zvehofisi kwese kweManhattan hazvina chinhu, bhodhi re-co-ops rakarambidza kuvakwa kutsva kweramangwana rinoonekwa. Ellison akati: "Havadi boka revashandi vane tsvina vakatakura Covid kuti vafambe."
Apo guta rakatangazve kuvaka musi wa8 June, rakaisa ganhuriro dzakakomba nezvibvumirano, zvichitsigirwa nefaindi yezviuru zvishanu zvemadhora. Vashandi vanofanirwa kutora tembiricha yemuviri wavo uye kupindura mibvunzo yehutano, kupfeka masiki uye kuchengetedza chinhambwe chavo-nyika inomisa nzvimbo dzekuvaka kune mumwe mushandi pa250 square tsoka. Nzvimbo ye7,000-square-foot seyi inokwana vanhu vanosvika makumi maviri nevasere. Nhasi, kune vanhu gumi nevanomwe. Vamwe vashandi vachiri kuzeza kubva munzvimbo inochengeterwa vanhu. "Majoini, vashandi vesimbi, uye vavezi veveneer vese ndevemumusasa uyu," akadaro Ellison. “Vari mumamiriro ezvinhu ari nani zvishoma. Vane bhizinesi ravo uye vakavhura studio muConnecticut. " Aiita jee kuti vatengesi vakuru. Marelli akaseka kuti: “Vaya vane dhigirii rekukoreji pachikoro chemifananidzo vanowanzovagadzira kubva munyama yakapfava.” Vamwe vakabva muguta masvondo mashoma apfuura. "Iron Man akadzokera kuEcuador," akadaro Ellison. "Akati achadzoka mumavhiki maviri, asi ari kuGuayaquil uye ari kuenda nemukadzi wake."
Kufanana nevashandi vazhinji muguta rino, dzimba dzaEllison naMarelli dzaive dzakazara nezvizvarwa zvekutanga zvakabva kune dzimwe nyika: maPlumbers eRussia, vashandi vepasi vekuHungary, vagadziri vemagetsi veGuyana, uye matombo ematombo ekuBangladesh. Nyika neindasitiri zvinowanzouya pamwechete. Ellison paakatanga kuenda kuNew York kuma1970, vavezi vairatidzika sevaIrish. Ipapo vakadzokera kumusha panguva yekubudirira kweCeltic Tigers uye vakatsiviwa nemasaisai evaSerbs, maAlbania, Guatemalans, Honduras, Colombians uye Ecuadorians. Iwe unogona kuteedzera kukakavara uye kudonha kwenyika kuburikidza nevanhu vari pa scaffolding muNew York. Vamwe vanouya pano vaine madhigirii epamusoro izvo zvisina basa kwavari. Vamwe vari kutiza zvikwata zvinouraya vanhu, zvikwata zvinotengesa zvinodhaka, kana kuti zvirwere zvakamboitika: cholera, Ebola, meningitis, yellow fever. "Kana iwe uchitsvaga nzvimbo yekushandira munguva dzakaipa, New York haisi nzvimbo yakaipa yekumhara," akadaro Marelli. “Hausi pamushenjere. Hauzorohwe kana kunyengedzwa nenyika ine matsotsi. Munhu weSpanish anogona kusanganisa zvakananga muchikwata cheNepalese. Kana ukakwanisa kutevedzera zvimiro zvemasonry, unogona kushanda zuva rese. ”
Chitubu ichi chinhu chinotyisa. Asi mumwaka upi noupi, kuvaka ibhizimisi rine ngozi. Pasinei nemitemo yeOSHA nekuchengetedzwa kwekuchengetedzwa, vashandi ve1,000 muUnited States vachiri kufa kubasa gore negore-kupfuura chero imwe indasitiri. Vakafa nemagetsi nemagasi anoputika, utsi hune chepfu, uye pombi dzakaputsika; vakapindwa neforogo, michina, uye vakavigwa mumarara; vakadonha kubva pamatenga edzimba, pamatanda, pamanera, nemakoni. Dzakawanda dzetsaona dzaEllison dzakaitika achichovha bhasikoro kuenda kunzvimbo yacho. (Wokutanga akavhuna ruoko rwake nembabvu mbiri, wechipiri akavhuna hudyu, wechitatu akavhuna shaya yake namazino maviri.) Asi pane vanga gobvu muruoko rwake rworuboshwe rakapotsa ravhunika ruoko rwake. Akazviona, ndokuona maoko matatu achigurwa panzvimbo yebasa. Kunyangwe Marelli, ainyanya kusimbisa manejimendi, akapotsa aita bofu makore mashoma apfuura. Apo zvidimbu zvitatu zvakapfura ndokuboora mboni yeziso rake rokurudyi, akanga akamira pedyo nomushandi akanga achicheka zvipikiri zvesimbi nesaha. Waive musi weChishanu. Musi weMugovera, akakumbira chiremba wemaziso kuti abvise tsvina uye abvise ngura. Muvhuro, akadzokera kubasa.
Mamwe masikati mukupera kwaChikunguru, ndakasangana naEllison naMarelli mumugwagwa une mitsetse yemiti pakona yeMetropolitan Museum of Art kuUpper East Side. Tiri kushanyira imba yaishanda Ellison makore 17 apfuura. Kune makamuri gumi muimba yetaundi yakavakwa muna 1901, ine muzvinabhizimusi uye mugadziri weBroadway James Fantaci nemukadzi wake Anna. (Vakazvitengesa kweanoda kusvika mamiriyoni makumi maviri emadhora emadhora muna 2015.) Kubva mumugwagwa, chivako chacho chine maitiro akasimba eunyanzvi, ane mabhesi emarara uye simbi yakagadzirwa. Asi kana tangopinda mukati, mitsetse yayo yakagadziridzwa inotanga kupfava kuita manyorerwo eArt Nouveau, ine madziro nehuni zvinopeta nekupeta zvakatipoteredza. Zvakafanana nekufamba muruva remvura. Mukova wekamuri hombe wakaumbwa seshizha rakamonana, uye masitepisi anotenderera anotenderera anoumbwa kuseri kwegonhi. Ellison akabatsira kumisikidza vaviri ava uye akave nechokwadi chekuti vaifananidza macurves emumwe nemumwe. Iyo mantelpiece yakagadzirwa nema cherries akasimba uye yakavakirwa pamuenzaniso wakavezwa nemugadziri Angela Dirks. Iresitorendi ine girazi rakapetwa rine nickel-plated railings yakavezwa naEllison uye tulip maruva ekushongedza. Kunyangwe imba yekuchengetera waini ine sirin'i yakavharidzirwa pearwood. "Iyi ndiyo yepedyo yandati ndambosvika kune yakanaka," akadaro Ellison.
Makore zana apfuura, kuvaka imba yakadaro muParis kwaida unyanzvi hunoshamisa. Nhasi, zvakaoma zvikuru. Hazvirevi kuti izvo zvehunyanzvi zvehunyanzvi zvakapotsa zvanyangarika, asi nazvo zvakawanda zvezvakanakisa zvinhu-Spanish mahogany, Carpathian elm, yakachena chena Thassos marble. Imba yacho pachayo yakagadziridzwa. Mabhokisi aimboshongedzwa ava michina yakaoma. Iyo plaster ingori chidimbu chitete chegauze, chinovanza gasi rakawanda, magetsi, optical fibers uye tambo, zvitsigiro zvehutsi, motion sensors, stereo masisitimu nemakamera ekuchengetedza, Wi-Fi routers, mamiriro ekunze, transformer, uye otomatiki magetsi. . Neimba yomusasa. Mugumisiro wacho ndewokuti imba yakaoma zvikuru zvokuti ingada vashandi venguva yakazara kuichengeta. “Handifungi kuti ndakambovakira mutengi akakodzera kugarapo imba,” Ellison akandiudza kudaro.
Kuvaka dzimba kwazova munda we obsessive-compulsive disorder. Imba yakaita seiyi ingada mamwe masarudzo pane chitundumuseremusere—kubva pachimiro uye patina yehinji yega yega uye mubato kuenda kunzvimbo yearamu yehwindo rega rega. Vamwe vatengi vanoona kuneta kwesarudzo. Ivo havagone kuzvibvumira kusarudza pane imwe sensor iri kure. Vamwe vanoomerera pakugadzirisa zvese. Kwenguva yakareba, magranite slabs anogona kuonekwa kwese kwese pamakaunda ekicheni akapararira kumakabati uye midziyo yakaita se geological molds. Kuti atakure huremu hwedombo uye kudzivirira musuwo kubvaruka, Ellison aifanira kugadzirisa zvakare hardware yese. Mufurati muna 20th Street, gonhi repamberi rakanga richirema zvikuru, uye hinji chete yaigona kuritsigira ndiyo yaishandiswa kutakura sero.
Pataifamba mufurati, Ellison akaramba achivhura makamuri akavanzika - mapaneru ekupinda, mabhokisi edunhu, madhirowa epachivande uye makabati emishonga - imwe neimwe yakaiswa nehungwaru mupurasita kana matanda. Akataura kuti chimwe chezvinhu zvakaoma zvikuru mubasa racho kuwana nzvimbo. Pane chinhu chakaoma kudaro? Dzimba dzemudhorobha dzakazara nema voids ari nyore. Kana chibatiso chemhepo chisingakodzeri sirin'i, ndapota pinza mukati medenga remba kana pasi. Asi dzimba dzekuNew York hadzina kukanganwira zvakadaro. “Padenga reimba? Chii chinonzi attic?" Marelli akadaro. "Vanhu vemuguta rino vari kurwira inopfuura hafu yema inch." Mazana emakiromita ewaya nemapombi anoiswa pakati pepurasita nezvidhori pamadziro aya, akamonereka semapuranga edunhu. Kushivirira hakuna kunyanya kusiyana neiyo yeindasitiri yeyacht.
"Zvakafanana nekugadzirisa dambudziko rakakura," Angela Dex akadaro. "Ingofunga kuti ungagadzira sei mapombi ese pasina kuputsa sirin'i kana kutora machunks anopenga-kutambudza." Dirks, makumi mashanu neshanu, akadzidzira kuColumbia University nePrinceton University uye anonyanya kugadzira pekugara mukati medhizaini. Akataura kuti mumakore makumi maviri nemashanu ebasa rake semugadziri wezvivakwa, ane mapurojekiti mana chete ehukuru uhu anogona kutarisisa zvakanyanya. Pane imwe nguva, mutengi akatomutsvaga kuchikepe chechikepe kubva kumahombekombe eAlaska. Akabva ati towel bar remubathroom raiiswa musi uyu. Ko Dirks angabvumidza nzvimbo idzi here?
Vazhinji varidzi havagone kumirira kumirira mugadziri kuti asunungure kink yese muipiping system. Vane zvikwereti zviviri zvekuenderera mberi kusvika kugadziridza kwapera. Nhasi, mutengo paskweya tsoka yemapurojekiti aEllison hauwanzo pasi pe $1,500, uye dzimwe nguva kunyange zvakapetwa zvakapetwa kaviri. Ikicheni itsva inotanga pa150,000; imba huru yekugezera inogona kumhanya zvakanyanya. Iyo yakareba nguva yeprojekti, mutengo unowanzokwira. "Handisati ndamboona chirongwa chinogona kugadzirwa nenzira yakarongwa," Marelli akandiudza. "Dzimwe hadzina kukwana, dzinopesana nefizikisi, kana kune mifananidzo isingatsanangure nzira yekuzadzisa zvishuvo zvavo." Ipapo kutenderera kwaizivikanwa kwakatanga. Varidzi vakaisa bhajeti, asi zvinodiwa zvakapfuura kugona kwavo. Vagadziri vezvivakwa vakavimbisa zvakanyanyisa uye makondirakiti akapa zvakaderera, nekuti vaiziva kuti hurongwa hwaive hwepfungwa. Kuvaka kwakatanga, kuchiteverwa nenhamba huru yemirayiro yokuchinja. Chirongwa chakatora gore uye chakadhura chiuru chemadhora paskweya tsoka yehurefu hwebharumu uye mutengo wakapetwa kaviri, munhu wese akapomera munhu wese. Kana ikadonha nechetatu chete, vanoidaidza kuti kubudirira.
“Inongova hurongwa hunopenga,” Ellison akandiudza kudaro. “Mutambo wese wakagadzirirwa kuti zvinangwa zvemunhu wese zvipesane. Iyi itsika uye itsika yakaipa.” Kwenguva yakawanda yebasa rake, haana kuita chero sarudzo huru. Anongova pfuti yakabhadharwa uye anoshanda paawa imwe neimwe. Asi mamwe mapurojekiti akaomarara kuita basa diki. Dzakafanana neinjini dzemotokari kupfuura dzimba: dzinofanirwa kugadzirwa dhizaini kubva mukati kuenda kunze, uye chikamu chimwe nechimwe chakanyatso kusungirirwa kune chinotevera. Kana dhaka rekupedzisira raiswa, mapaipi newaya pasi payo zvinofanirwa kunge zvakati sandarara uye zvakaperera mukati memainji gumi nematanhatu pamusoro pemamita gumi. Nekudaro, indasitiri yega yega ine kushivirira kwakasiyana: chinangwa chemugadziri wesimbi ndechekuita chokwadi kusvika hafu yeinji, kunyatsojeka kwemuvezi inji imwe yechina, kunyatsojeka kwesheeter ichikamu chesere cheinji, uye kunyatsojeka kwemuvezi chikamu chimwe muzvisere che inch. Imwe yegumi nematanhatu. Basa raEllison nderekuvachengeta vese vari papeji imwe chete.
Dirks anoyeuka kuti akapinda maari rimwe zuva pashure pokunge aendeswa kunoronga basa racho. Imba yacho yakanga yaparara zvachose, uye akaita vhiki ari oga munzvimbo yakanga yasakara. Akatora zviyero, akaisa mutsara wepakati, uye achiona zvese zvigadziriso, socket nepaneru. Akadhirowa mazana emadhirowa neruoko pabepa regirafu, akasiya ega mapoinzi edambudziko uye akatsanangura magadzirirwo acho. Mafuremu egonhi nesimbi, simbi yakatenderedza masitepisi, maburi akavanzika seri kwemupendero wekorona, uye maketeni emagetsi akaiswa muhomwe dzemafafitera zvose zvine tumativi tuduku tuduku, ose akaunganidzwa mubhainda guru remhete dema. “Ndicho chikonzero nei munhu wose achida Mark kana kuti mumwe waMark,” Dex akandiudza kudaro. “Gwaro iri rinoti, ‘Handisi kungoziva zviri kuitika pano chete, asiwo zviri kuitika munzvimbo iri yose netsika dzose.’”
Migumisiro yezvirongwa izvi zvose zvinonyanya kutaurwa kupfuura kuonekwa. Semuenzaniso, mukicheni uye muimba yekugezera, masvingo uye pasi hazvioneki, asi neimwe nzira yakakwana. Chete mushure mekunge wavatarisa kwechinguva ndipo pawakaona chikonzero: matiles ese mumutsara wega wega akakwana; hapana majoini akaomarara kana miganhu yakatemwa. Ellison akafunga aya chaiwo ekupedzisira zviyero pakuvaka kamuri. Hapana tile inofanira kutemwa. “Pandakapinda, ndinoyeuka Mark akagara,” akadaro Dex. “Ndakamubvunza zvaaiita, achibva asimudza musoro akanditarisa akati, ‘Ndinofunga kuti ndapedza. Ingori goko risina chinhu, asi zvose zviri mupfungwa dzaMark.”
Imba yaEllison pachezvake iri pakatarisana nechigadzirwa chakasiiwa chemakemikari pakati peNewburgh. Chakavakwa muna 1849 sechikoro chevakomana. Ibhokisi rezvidhinha zvaro, rakatarisana nemugwagwa, rine berere remapuranga rakasakara pamberi. Pazasi pane studio yaEllison, uko vakomana vaidzidzira basa resimbi nekuveza. Kumusoro kune imba yake, refu, sedanga-senzvimbo yakazadzwa nemagitare, maamplifiers, maHammond nhengo nemimwe midziyo yebhendi. Yakarembera pamadziro ndiyo mifananidzo yaakamukwereteswa naamai vake—kunyanya chitarisiko chiri kure cheRwizi rweHudson nemimwe mifananidzo yemvura yemifananidzo kubva muupenyu hwake hwesamurai, kusanganisira murwi aigura muvengi wake musoro. Kwemakore, chivako chacho chaigarwa nevashambadzi nembwa dzairasika. Yakagadziridzwa muna 2016, nguva pfupi Ellison asati apinda, asi nharaunda yacho ichiri yakaoma. Mumakore maviri apfuura, kwave nemhondi ina mumabhuroko maviri.
Ellison ane nzvimbo dziri nani: imba yetaundi muBrooklyn; imba yekurara nhanhatu yeVictorian yaakadzorera paStaten Island; imba yepurazi paRwizi rweHudson. Asi kurambana kwakamuunza pano, kudivi reblue-collar yerwizi, mhiri kwebhiriji nemukadzi wake wekare muBeacon yepamusoro-soro, shanduko iyi yakaita seyakaenderana naye. Ari kudzidza Lindy Hop, achiridza honky tonk bhendi, uye achitaurirana nevanyori nevavaki vasingadi kana varombo kugara muNew York. Muna Ndira gore rapfuura, chiteshi chekare chemoto zvidhinha zvishoma kubva kumba kwaEllison chakakwira kutengeswa. Zviuru mazana matanhatu, hapana zvokudya zvakawanikwa, uye ipapo mutengo wakawira kumazana mashanu ezviuru, uye akageda-geda meno ake. Anofunga kuti nekugadzirisa zvishoma, iyi inogona kunge iri nzvimbo yakanaka yekurega basa. “Ndinoda Newburgh,” akandiudza kudaro pandakaendako kuzomushanyira. “Kune mashura kwese kwese. Haisati yauya-yave kutanga."
Mamwe mangwanani tapedza kudya kwemangwanani, takamira pane chimwe chitoro chemidziyo kuti titenge mablades esaha yetafura yake. Ellison anofarira kuchengetedza zvishandiso zvake zviri nyore uye zvakasiyana. Studio yake ine maitiro e steampunk-inenge asi isina kunyatsofanana nema studio ema1840s-uye hupenyu hwake hwekugarisana hune simba rakasanganiswa rakafanana. “Pashure pemakore akawanda kudaro, ndinogona kutaura mitauro 17 yakasiyana-siyana,” akandiudza kudaro. “Ndini mugayi. Ndini shamwari yegirazi. Ndini murume wedombo. Ndini injiniya. Kunaka kwechinhu ichi ndechokuti unotanga wachera gomba muvhu, wozopendesa chikamu chekupedzisira chendarira nezviuru zvitanhatu-grit sandpaper. Kwandiri, zvese zvakanaka. "
Semukomana akakurira muPittsburgh pakati pe-1960s, akatora kosi yekunyudza mukutendeuka kwekodhi. Yakanga iri munguva yeguta resimbi, uye mafekitori aive akazara nevaGiriki, maItalian, maScots, maIrish, maGerman, maEastern Europe, uye vatema vekumaodzanyemba, vakatamira kuchamhembe panguva yeKutama kukuru. Vanoshanda pamwechete mumavira akavhurika uye anoputika, vobva vaenda kumvura yavo pachavo neChishanu manheru. Rakanga riri taundi rine tsvina, rakashama, uye kwakanga kune hove dzakawanda dzaiyangarara mudumbu paRwizi rweMonongahela, uye Ellison akafunga kuti izvi ndizvo chaizvo zvakaitwa nehove. “Kunhuwa kwechin’ai, chiutsi, nemafuta—ndiko kunhuwa kwehudiki hwangu,” akandiudza kudaro. “Unogona kutyaira uchienda kurwizi usiku, uko kunongova nemakiromita mashomanana ezvigayo zvesimbi zvisingamboregi kushanda. Vanopenya uye vanokanda zvipfuri zvemoto uye utsi mudenga. Aya zvikara zvihombe zviri kudya munhu wese, ivo havazvizive.
Imba yake iri pakati pemativi maviri emataundi emuguta, pamutsetse mutsvuku pakati penharaunda dzevatema nevachena, kukwira nekudzika. Baba vake vaive nyanzvi yezvemagariro evanhu uye vaimbove mufundisi-apo Reinhold Niebuhr aivepo, akadzidza paUnited Theological Seminary. Amai vake vakaenda kuchikoro chezvokurapa uye vakadzidziswa sevana chiremba wetsinga vachirera vana vana. Mako ndiye gotwe rechipiri. Mangwanani, akaenda kuchikoro chekuedza chakavhurwa neYunivhesiti yePittsburgh, uko kune modular makirasi uye vadzidzisi vehippie. Mumasikati, iye nemhomho yevana vakanga vachichovha mabhasikoro anogadzika mabhanana, vachitsika mavhiri, vachisvetuka kubva padivi pemugwagwa, uye vachipfuura nomunzvimbo dzakashama nemakwenzi, semapute enhunzi dzinoruma. Nguva nenguva, aibirwa kana kukandwa muheji. Kunyange zvakadaro, richiri denga.
Patakadzokera kufurati rake kubva muchitoro chezvishandiso, akandiridzira rwiyo rwaakanyora pashure perwendo rwenguva pfupi yapfuura kunharaunda yekare. Aka ndekekutanga ariko mumakore anoda kusvika makumi mashanu. Kuimba kwaEllison chinhu chekare uye chisinganzwisisike, asi mazwi ake anogona kuzorodza uye kunyorova. "Zvinotora makore gumi nemasere kuti munhu akure / mamwe makore mashoma kuti aite kuti anzwe zvakanaka," akaimba. "Rega guta rikure kwemakore zana / riparadze muzuva rimwe chete / kekupedzisira pandakabva kuPittsburgh / ivo vakavaka guta iro iro guta raimbove / vamwe vanhu vangawana nzira yekudzokera / asi kwete ini."
Paakanga ava nemakore gumi, amai vake vaigara muAlbany, ndizvo zvakanga zvakaita Pittsburgh. Ellison akapedza makore mana akatevera ari muchikoro chomunzvimbomo, “chaizvoizvo kuita kuti benzi rikunde.” Ipapo akawana rumwe rudzi rwemarwadzo muchikoro chepamusoro chePhillips College muAndover, Massachusetts. Mumagariro evanhu, yaiva nzvimbo yekudzidzira yevarume veAmerica: John F. Kennedy (Jr.) akanga aripo panguva iyoyo. Nehungwaru, yakaomarara, asi zvakare yakavanzika. Ellison agara ari maoko-pakufunga. Anogona kupedza maawa mashoma kuti afungidzire pesvedzero yemagnetism yenyika pamaitiro ekubhururuka kweshiri, asi nzira dzakachena hadziwanzopinda mudambudziko. “Zviri pachena kuti handisi wepano,” akadaro.
Akadzidza kutaura nevanhu vakapfuma-uhu hunyanzvi hunobatsira. Uye, kunyangwe akatora nguva panguva yekugezesa dhishi kwaHoward Johnson, murimi wemiti yeGeorgia, vashandi veArizona zoo, uye muvezi weBoston aidzidzira basa, akakwanisa kupinda mugore rake repamusoro. Zvakadaro, akapedza awa imwe chete yechikwereti. Chero zvazvingava, apo Columbia University yakamugamuchira, akarega pashure pevhiki nhanhatu, achiziva kuti zvakanga zvakatonyanya kudaro. Akawana imba yakachipa muHarlem, akaisa zvikwangwani zvemakopi, akapa mikana yekuvaka dzimba dzepamusoro nemabhokisi emabhuku, uye akawana basa renguva isina kuzara kuti azadze nzvimbo yacho. Vadzidzi vaaidzidza navo pavakava magweta, mabroker, uye vatengesi vehedge fund—vaizozova vatengi vake—akaburutsa rori, akafunda banjo, aishanda muchitoro chinobhainda mabhuku, akanhonga aizikirimu, uye zvishoma nezvishoma akakwanisa kutengeserana. Mitsetse yakatwasuka iri nyore, asi macurves akaoma.
Ellison ave ari mubasa iri kwenguva yakareba, kuitira kuti unyanzvi hwayo huve hwechipiri kwaari. Vanogona kuita kuti mano ake aite seasinganzwisisike uye kunyange asina hanya. Rimwe zuva, ndakaona muenzaniso wakanaka muNewburgh, paaivaka masitepisi eimba yemutaundi. Masitepisi ipurojekiti yeEllison's iconic. Ndiwo zvivako zvakaoma zvikuru mudzimba dzakawanda-zvinofanira kumira zvakazvimiririra uye kufamba munzvimbo-kunyange kukanganisa kuduku kunogona kukonzera kuunganidza kunotyisa. Kana nhanho imwe neimwe yakadzikira kwemasekonzi makumi matatu, ipapo masitepisi anogona kudzika masendimita matatu pane yepuratifomu yepamusoro. "Masitepisi asiri iwo ari pachena kuti haana kururama," Marelli akadaro.
Zvisinei, masitepisi akagadzirirwawo kukwevera ngwariro yavanhu kwavari vamene. Muimba yakaita seBreakers, imba yezhizha yeVanderbilt vaviri muNewport yakavakwa muna 1895, uye masitepisi akaita seketeni. Vaenzi pavakangosvika, maziso avo akabva muhoro kuenda kuna tenzikadzi anoyevedza ari mujasi panjanji. Matanho aive akadzika nemaune-masentimita matanhatu kumusoro panzvimbo peanowanzo nomwe nehafu masendimita-kumubvumira zviri nani kutsvedza pasi pasina simba regiravhiti kuti abatane nepati.
Mugadziri Santiago Calatrava akambotaura kune masitepisi akavakirwa naEllison sehunyanzvi. Iyi yakanga isingasviki mupimo wakadaro—Ellison akanga ane chokwadi kubva pakutanga kuti yaifanira kugadzirwa patsva. Madhirowa anoda kuti nhanho imwe neimwe iitwe nechidimbu chimwe chete chesimbi ine perforated, yakagochwa kuita nhanho. Asi ukobvu hwesimbi huri pasi pechikamu chimwe chete muzvisere zve inch, uye inoda kusvika hafu yayo igomba. Ellison akaverenga kuti kana vanhu vakati wandei vaikwira masitepisi panguva imwe chete, yaizokotama sebadza resaha. Kuita kuti zvinhu zvinyanye kuoma, simbi inoburitsa kusagadzikana kutsemuka uye mipendero ine jagged padivi peforation. "Inotova chizi chemunhu," akadaro. Ndiyo nyaya yakanakisisa. Kana muridzi anotevera akafunga kufambisa piyano huru kuenda pauriri hwepamusoro, chimiro chese chinogona kudonha.
Ellison akati: “Vanhu vanondipa mari yakawanda kuti ndinzwisise izvi.” Asi imwe nzira yacho haisi nyore. Chikamu chimwe muzvina cheichi chesimbi chakasimba zvakakwana, asi paanokotama, simbi yacho ichiri kubvaruka. Saka Ellison akaenda rimwe danho mberi. Akaridza simbi neblowtorch kusvika yave rima reorange, ndokuirega ichidzika zvishoma nezvishoma. Iyi nzira, inonzi annealing, inoronga patsva maatomu uye inosunungura mabhondi, zvichiita kuti simbi iwedzere. Paakakotamazve simbi yacho, hapana kubvaruka.
Stringers anomutsa mhando dzakasiyana dzemibvunzo. Aya ndiwo mapuranga emapuranga akatarisana nematanho. Mumidhirowa yacho, anogadzirwa nematanda emupoplar uye akamonyoroka semarabhoni asina musono kubva pasi kusvika pasi. Asi sei kucheka slab kuita curve? Router uye zvigadziriso zvinogona kupedza basa iri, asi zvinotora nguva yakareba. Muumbi anodzorwa nekombuta anogona kushanda, asi mutsva anodhura zviuru zvitatu zvemadhora. Ellison akasarudza kushandisa tafura saha, asi pakanga paine dambudziko: tafura yakaona yaisagona kucheka macurves. Bazi rayo rinotenderera rakatsetseka rakagadzirirwa kucheka zvakananga pabhodhi. Inogona kurerekera kuruboshwe kana kurudyi kune angled kucheka, asi hapana chimwe.
“Iyi nderimwe rekuti 'musaedze izvi kumba, vana!' chinhu,” akadaro. Akamira pedyo netafura akaona uye akaratidza muvakidzani wake uye aimbove mudzidzi Caine Budelman maitirwo eizvi. Budman ane makore makumi mana nerimwe ekuberekwa: mushandi wesimbi wekuBritain, murume mutsvuku akapfeka bhuni, unzenza, hunhu hwemitambo. Mushure mekupisa gomba murutsoka rwake nebhora realuminium yakanyungudutswa, akasiya basa rekukanda muRock Tavern iri pedyo uye akagadzira matanda ehunyanzvi hwakachengeteka. Ellison akanga asina chokwadi. Baba vake chaivo vakatyorwa zvigunwe zvitanhatu nesaha-kaviri. "Vanhu vazhinji vachabata kekutanga sechidzidzo," akadaro.
Ellison akatsanangura kuti huchenjeri hwekucheka macurves netafura saha kushandisa saha isiriyo. Akatora puranga remupopori pamurwi waiva pabhenji. Haana kuisa pamberi pemazino esaha semuvezi vazhinji, asi akaiisa pedyo nemazino esaha. Ipapo, achitarisa Budelman akavhiringika, akaregedzera blade yedenderedzwa, ndokusundira bhodhi parutivi. Mushure memasekondi mashoma, chimiro chakatsetseka chehafu-mwedzi chakavezwa pabhodhi.
Ellison akanga zvino ari mugomba, achisaidzira puranga nesaha zvakare uyezve, maziso ake akavharika akatarisa uye achienderera mberi, blade yakatenderera zvishoma kubva paruoko rwake. Kubasa, aigara achiudza Budelman anecdotes, narrations uye tsananguro. Akandiudza kuti kuveza kwaEllison ndiko kutonga kwaanoita njere dzemuviri. Semwana achiona maPirates paTatu Rivers Stadium, akamboshamisika kuti Roberto Clemente aiziva sei kwekubhururuka bhora. Anoita kunge ari kuverenga iyo arc chaiyo uye nekumhanyisa nguva yainosiya bat. Haisi kunyanya kuongorora kwakananga sezvo iri ndangariro yemhasuru. "Muviri wako unongoziva kuzviita," akadaro. "Inonzwisisa huremu, mashizha, uye nzvimbo nenzira iyo uropi hwako hunofanira kufunga nekusingaperi." Izvi zvakangofanana nekuudza Ellison pekuisa chisero kana kuti imwe millimita yehuni inofanira kutemwa. “Ndinoziva muvezi uyu anonzi Steve Allen,” akadaro. “Rimwe zuva, akatendeukira kwandiri ndokuti, ‘Handinzwisisi. Pandinoita basa iri, ndinofanira kuisa pfungwa dzangu uye iwe uri kutaura zvisina maturo zuva rose. Chakavanzika ndechekuti, handifungi kudaro. Ndakauya neimwe Nzira, ndobva ndapedza kufunga nezvazvo. Handichanetse pfungwa dzangu.”
Akabvuma kuti iyi yaive nzira yeupenzi yekuvaka masitepisi, uye akaronga kusazozviita zvakare. "Handidi kunzi mukomana ane perforated staircase." Nekudaro, kana ikaitwa nemazvo, ichava nemashiripiti zvinhu zvaanoda. Tambo nematanho zvichapendwa zvichena pasina seams anooneka kana screws. Zvigaro zvemaoko zvichange zvine mafuta omuoki. Kana zuva richipfuura nepamusoro pedenga pamusoro pematanho, rinopfura tsono dzakareruka nemumaburi mumatanho. Masitepisi anoita seasina kusimba munzvimbo. "Iyi haisi imba yaunofanira kudira yakavava," akadaro Ellison. “Munhu wese ari kubheja kuti imbwa yevaridzi ichatsika here. Nekuti imbwa dzakangwara kupfuura vanhu."
Kana Ellison akakwanisa kuita chimwe chirongwa asati aenda pamudyandigere, inogona kunge iri imba yekutandarira yatakashanyira muna Gumiguru. Ndiyo imwe yekupedzisira isina kutaurwa nzvimbo hombe muNew York, uye imwe yepakutanga: pamusoro peWoolworth Building. Payakavhurwa muna 1913, Woolworth ndiyo yaive skyscraper yakareba kwazvo pasi rose. Inogona kunge ichiri yakanyanya kunaka. Yakagadzirwa nemuvaki Cass Gilbert, yakafukidzwa neine glazed terracotta, yakashongedzwa neo-gothic arches nekushongedza kwemahwindo, uye inomira ingangoita 800 tsoka pamusoro peLower Manhattan. Nzvimbo yatakashanyira inogara panhurikidzwa shanu dzekutanga, kubva pamateru ari pamusoro penzvimbo yekupedzisira yechivako kusvika kune inocherekedza iri paspire. Developer Alchemy Properties anodana iyo Pinnacle.
Ellison akanzwa nezvazvo kekutanga gore rakapera kubva kuna David Horsen. David Horsen mugadziri wezvivakwa waanowanzo shanda naye. Mushure mekunge imwe dhizaini yaThierry Despont yatadza kukwezva vatengi, Hotson akabhadharwa kuti agadzirise zvirongwa uye 3D modhi yePinnacle. Kuna Hotson, dambudziko riri pachena. Despont akambofungidzira imba yemutaundi mudenga, ine parquet pasi, chandeliers uye maraibhurari ane mapuranga. Iwo makamuri akanaka asi anonyadzisa-anogona kunge ari muchivako chero chipi zvacho, kwete muromo weiyo inopenya, zana-mamita-kureba skyscraper. Saka Honson akavafuridzira. Mumifananidzo yake, uriri hwega hwega hunoenda kune uriri hunotevera, huchikwira kumusoro kuburikidza nenhevedzano yemamwe masitepisi anoshamisa. "Inofanira kukonzera kurira pese painokwira pasi pese," Hotson akandiudza. "Paunodzokera kuBroadway, hautombonzwisise zvauchangobva kuona."
Hotson ane makore 61 akatetepa uye ane makona senzvimbo dzaakagadzira, uye anowanzopfeka zvipfeko zvakafanana zvemonochrome: bvudzi jena, shati yegrey, bhurugwa regrey, uye shangu nhema. Paakatamba paPinnacle neni naEllison, akanga achiri kuratidzika kuva anoshamiswa nezvinobvira—semuimbi wemumhanzi wekamuri akahwina baton yeNew York Philharmonic. Lift yakatiendesa kuhoro yega yega yaiva pauriri hwemakumi mashanu, uye ipapo masitepisi aienda kukamuri hombe. Muzvivakwa zvakawanda zvemazuva ano, chikamu chepakati chezvikwiriso nemasitepisi chinosvika kumusoro uye chinotora mazhinji epasi. Asi imba iyi yakazaruka zvachose. Sirin'i ine nhurikidzwa mbiri dzakakwirira; iyo arched maonero eguta anogona kuyemurwa kubva kumahwindo. Unogona kuona Palisades neThrogs Neck Bridge kuchamhembe, Sandy Hook kumaodzanyemba nemahombekombe eGarireya, New Jersey. Ingori nzvimbo chena ine mhepo ine matanda akati wandei achiitenderedza, asi ichiri zvinoshamisa.
Kumabvazuva kuzasi kwedu, tinogona kuona denga regirinhi rematairi eHotson naEllison's yapfuura purojekiti. Inonzi House of the Sky, uye iimba ine nhurikidzwa ina pachivako chakakwirira cheRoma chakavakwa nokuda kwomuparidzi wechitendero muna 1895. Ngirozi huru yakamira yakarinda mukona iri yose. Pakazosvika 2007, nzvimbo iyi payakatengeswa nemadhora 6.5 miriyoni - rekodhi munharaunda yezvemari panguva iyoyo - yakanga isina vanhu kwemakumi emakore. Iko kunenge kusina pombi dzemvura kana magetsi, chete zvimwe zvese zvakatorwa zveSpike Lee's "Inside Man" naCharlie Kaufman's "Synecdoche muNew York." Imba yakagadzirwa naHotson ndeyekutamba yevakuru uye inoyevedza inoyevedza chivezwa-inodziya-yakakwana yePinnacle. Muna 2015, dhizaini yemukati yakairatidza seyakanakisa imba yemakore gumi.
Iyo Sky House haisati iri murwi wemabhokisi. Iyo izere nenzvimbo yekukamura uye refraction, sekunge uri kufamba mudhaimani. "David, achiimba rufu rwekona nenzira yake inogumbura Yale," Ellison akandiudza. Zvisinei, imba yacho hainzwi seine upenyu sezvairi, asi izere nemajee uye zvinoshamisa. Iro jena pasi rinopa nzira kune magirazi mapaneru pano neapo, achikurega iwe uchipinda mumhepo. Danda resimbi rinotsigira sirin'i yeimba yekutandarira zvakare idanda rekukwira rine mabhandi ekuchengetedza, uye vaenzi vanogona kudzika netambo. Kune migero yakavanzwa kuseri kwemadziro eimba yekurara nebathroom, saka katsi yemuridzi inogona kukambaira ichiburitsa musoro wayo kunze kwekaburi kadiki. Mauriri ese ari mana akabatanidzwa nehombe tubular siraidhi yakagadzirwa neyakakwenenzverwa yeGerman simbi isina tsvina. Pamusoro, gumbeze re cashmere rinopihwa kuti rive nechokwadi chekukwira, pasina friction.
