When a new inhabitant moves into the tower,
當(dāng)一個(gè)新的居住者搬進(jìn)這座大樓，
they already have a roof over their head,
他們已經(jīng)有一個(gè)可以遮蓋的房頂，
so they just typically mark their space with a few curtains or sheets.
所以他們通常只是使用很小的窗簾和單子來(lái)突出他們的地方。
Slowly, from found materials, walls rise,
慢慢地，從現(xiàn)成的材料，高墻，
and people create a space out of any found objects or materials.
人們創(chuàng)造了一個(gè)從任何現(xiàn)成物體和材料搭建的空間。
It's remarkable to see the design decisions that they're making,
看到他們的設(shè)計(jì)規(guī)劃決定很讓人驚嘆，
like when everything is made out of red bricks,
例如當(dāng)所有東西都是紅磚建的時(shí)候，
some residents will cover that red brick with another layer of red brick-patterned wallpaper just to make it a kind of clean finish.
一些居民會(huì)在紅磚墻外覆蓋上另一層紅磚樣式的墻紙只為了讓它看上去有干凈的感覺(jué)。
The inhabitants literally built up these homes with their own hands, and this labor of love instills a great sense of pride in many families living in this tower.
這些居住者真的是用他們的雙手來(lái)搭建自己的房子，這種充滿著愛(ài)的勞動(dòng)滲透出一種偉大的自豪感充盈在很多住在這兒的家庭里。
They typically make the best out of their conditions,
他們特別是要盡最大可能利用他們周圍的環(huán)境
and try to make their spaces look nice and homey,
來(lái)讓他們的生活空間更溫馨，更有家的感覺(jué)，
or at least up until as far as they can reach.
或者至少做到他們能盡的最大可能。
Throughout the tower, you come across all kinds of services, like the barber,
在大樓里，你可以找到各種各樣的服務(wù)，比如理發(fā)店，
small factories, and every floor has a little grocery store or shop.
小鋪?zhàn)?，每層都有小的食品雜貨店和商店。
And you even find a church.
你甚至可以找到一個(gè)教堂。
And on the 30th floor, there is a gym where all the weights and barbells are made out of the leftover pulleys from the elevators which were never installed.
并且在30層有一個(gè)健身房那里所有的器械和杠鈴都是由剩下的滑輪制成的,這些滑輪是從那些沒(méi)有安裝的電梯上拿來(lái)的。
From the outside, behind this always-changing facade,
從外面，在這個(gè)不斷變化的外墻后面，
you see how the fixed concrete beams provide a framework for the inhabitants to create their homes in an organic, intuitive way that responds directly to their needs.
你可以看到固定的混凝土梁柱是如何為居民提供一個(gè)房屋框架以便讓他們以一種有機(jī)而直觀的方式去搭建他們的房子來(lái)直接應(yīng)對(duì)他們的需求。
Let's go now to Africa, to Nigeria,
讓我們現(xiàn)在去看看非洲，尼日利亞，
to a community called Makoko,
來(lái)到一個(gè)叫馬卡卡的住宅區(qū)，
a slum where 150,000 people live just meters above the Lagos Lagoon.
一個(gè)居住著15萬(wàn)人的貧民窟住在僅在拉各斯湖上面幾米的地方。
