Mark Ellison wayimirira pansi pa plywood yaiwisi, akuyang'ana nyumba ya m'ma 1900 iyi yomwe inawonongedwa. Pamwamba pake, zolumikizira, mizati, ndi mawaya akudumphadumpha pang'onopang'ono, ngati ukonde wopenga. Iye sakudziwabe momwe angamangire chinthuchi. Malinga ndi dongosolo la mmisiri wa zomangamanga, chipindachi chidzakhala bafa lalikulu - chikwa chopindika cha pulasitala, chowala ndi nyali zapabowo. Koma denga silikumveka. Theka lake ndi chipinda chosungiramo migolo, ngati mkati mwa tchalitchi cha Roma; theka lina ndi chipinda chosungiramo groin, ngati nave ya tchalitchi chachikulu. Papepala, mpendero wozungulira wa dome imodzi umayenda bwino m'mbali mwa phiri la dome linalo. Koma kuwalola kuchita zimenezi m’magawo atatu n’kovuta. "Ndinawonetsa zojambulazo kwa woyimba nyimboyo," adatero Ellison. Iye ndi katswiri wa sayansi ya zakuthambo, choncho ndinam'funsa kuti, 'Kodi mungawerenge kawerengedwe kameneka?' Iye anati ayi.’”
Mizere yowongoka ndi yosavuta, koma makhoti ndi ovuta. Ellison adanena kuti nyumba zambiri ndi mabokosi chabe. Timaziika pambali kapena kuziunjika pamodzi, monga ngati ana akuseŵera ndi midadada yomangira. Onjezani denga lamakona atatu ndipo mwatha. Nyumbayo ikamangidwabe ndi manja, njirayi idzapanga ma curve apanthawi - igloos, nyumba zamatope, nyumba zapanyumba, ma yurts - ndi omanga nyumba adapindula ndi mabwalo ndi nyumba. Koma kupanga misa yamitundu yosalala ndi yotsika mtengo, ndipo makina onse ocheka ndi fakitale amawapanga molingana ndi kukula kwake: njerwa, matabwa, matabwa a gypsum, matailosi a ceramic. Ellison adanena kuti uwu ndi nkhanza za orthogonal.
"Inenso sindingathe kuwerengera izi," anawonjezera, akugwedeza. "Koma ndikhoza kupanga." Ellison ndi kalipentala—ena amati ndiye kalipentala wabwino koposa ku New York, ngakhale kuti sanaphatikizidwepo. Kutengera ntchito, Ellison ndi wowotcherera, wosema, makontrakitala, kalipentala, woyambitsa komanso wopanga mafakitale. Ndi kalipentala, monganso Filippo Brunelleschi, mmisiri wa Dome of Florence Cathedral, ndi injiniya. Iye ndi munthu wolembedwa ntchito kuti amange zosatheka.
Pansi pansi pathu, ogwira ntchito akunyamula plywood pamwamba pa masitepe osakhalitsa, kupeŵa matailosi omwe sanamalizidwe pakhomo. Mipope ndi mawaya amalowa pano pansanjika yachitatu, akuyendayenda pansi pa ma joists ndi pansi, pamene mbali ina ya masitepe imakwezedwa kudzera m'mawindo a chipinda chachinayi. Gulu la anthu ogwira ntchito zachitsulo ankawotcherera m'malo mwake, n'kumawaza m'mwamba. Pansanjika yachisanu, pansi pa denga lokwera la situdiyo ya skylight, zitsulo zina zowonekera zikupakidwa utoto, pamene mmisiri wa matabwa anamanga kagawo padenga, ndipo womanga miyalayo anadutsa panja panjapo kukakonzanso njerwa ndi makoma a bulauni. . Ichi ndi chisokonezo wamba pamalo omanga. Chomwe chimawoneka mwachisawawa kwenikweni ndi chojambula chodabwitsa chopangidwa ndi antchito aluso ndi zida, zokonzedwa pasadakhale miyezi ingapo, ndipo tsopano zasonkhanitsidwa mwadongosolo lokonzedweratu. Chomwe chikuwoneka ngati kupha anthu ambiri ndi opaleshoni yokonzanso. Mafupa ndi ziwalo za nyumbayi ndi kayendedwe ka magazi amatseguka ngati odwala patebulo la opaleshoni. Ellison adati nthawi zonse zimakhala zosokoneza chiwombankhanga chisanawuke. Patapita miyezi ingapo, sindinathe kuzizindikira.
Anayenda mpaka pakati pa holo yaikulu n’kukaima pamenepo ngati mwala mumtsinje, n’kumawalondolera madziwo, osasuntha. Ellison ali ndi zaka 58 ndipo wakhala kalipentala kwa zaka pafupifupi 40. Ndi munthu wamkulu wokhala ndi mapewa olemetsa komanso opindika. Ali ndi zikhadabo zolimba ndi zikhadabo zathupi, mutu wadazi ndi milomo yathupi, yotuluka m’ndevu zake zong’ambika. Muli mphamvu yozama ya mafupa mwa iye, ndipo ndi yolimba kuwerenga: amawoneka ngati wopangidwa ndi zinthu zowawa kuposa ena. Ndi mawu ankhanza ndi maso aakulu, atcheru, amawoneka ngati khalidwe la Tolkien kapena Wagner: Nibelungen wochenjera, wopanga chuma. Amakonda makina, moto ndi zitsulo zamtengo wapatali. Amakonda matabwa, mkuwa ndi miyala. Anagula makina osakaniza simenti ndipo adatanganidwa nawo kwa zaka ziwiri - sanathe kuyimitsa. Iye ananena kuti chimene chinamukopa kuti achite nawo ntchito inayake ndi matsenga amene akanatha, zomwe zinali zosayembekezereka. Kuwala kwamtengo wapatali kumabweretsa zochitika zapadziko lapansi.
Iye anati: “Palibe amene anandilembapo ntchito yokonza zomangamanga. “Mabiliyoni safuna zinthu zakale zomwezo. Amafuna bwino kuposa nthawi yomaliza. Amafuna chinachake chimene palibe amene anachitapo. Imeneyi ndi nyumba yawo yokha ndipo mwina si nzeru.” Nthawi zina izi zidzachitika. Chozizwitsa; nthawi zambiri ayi. Ellison wamanga nyumba za David Bowie, Woody Allen, Robin Williams, ndi ena ambiri omwe sangawatchule. Ntchito yake yotsika mtengo kwambiri idawononga ndalama zokwana madola 5 miliyoni aku US, koma mapulojekiti ena akhoza kukwera mpaka 50 miliyoni kapena kupitilira apo. "Ngati akufuna Downton Abbey, nditha kuwapatsa Downton Abbey," adatero. “Ngati akufuna malo osambira achiroma, ndiwamanga. Ndachita malo ena oyipa-ndikutanthauza, zosokoneza kwambiri. Koma ndilibe poni pamasewera. Ngati akufuna Studio 54, I Idzamangidwa. Koma ikhala Studio 54 yabwino kwambiri yomwe adawonapo, ndipo Studio 56 yowonjezera ionjezedwa.
Malo apamwamba kwambiri ku New York alipo mu microcosm yokha, kudalira masamu achilendo osadziwika. Zilibe zopinga wamba, ngati nsanja ya singano yomwe yakwezedwa kuti ikwaniritse. Ngakhale mkati mwa mavuto azachuma, mu 2008, olemera kwambiri anapitiriza kumanga. Amagula malo pamtengo wotsika ndikusandutsa nyumba zapamwamba zobwereketsa. Kapena kuwasiya opanda kanthu, poganiza kuti msika uchira. Kapena atengereni kuchokera ku China kapena Saudi Arabia, osawoneka, poganiza kuti mzindawu ukadali malo otetezeka oimikapo mamiliyoni. Kapena kunyalanyaza kwathunthu chuma, poganiza kuti sichidzawapweteka. M'miyezi ingapo yoyambirira ya mliriwu, anthu ambiri amalankhula za anthu olemera aku New York omwe akuthawa mzindawo. Msika wonsewo unali kugwa, koma kugwa, msika wa nyumba zapamwamba unayamba kuwonjezereka: mu sabata yatha ya September yokha, nyumba zosachepera 21 ku Manhattan zinagulitsidwa ndalama zoposa $ 4 miliyoni. "Zonse zomwe timachita ndi zopanda nzeru," adatero Ellison. “Palibe amene angawonjezere mtengo kapena kugulitsanso monga momwe timachitira ndi nyumba zogona. Palibe amene amachifuna. Amangofuna basi.”
New York mwina ndi malo ovuta kwambiri padziko lapansi kuti amange zomangamanga. Malo omanga chirichonse ndi ochepa kwambiri, ndalama zomanga ndizochuluka, kuphatikizapo kupanikizika, monga kumanga geyser, nsanja za galasi, ma Gothic skyscrapers, akachisi a Aigupto ndi Bauhaus pansi amawulukira mlengalenga. Ngati zili choncho, mkati mwawo ndi wodabwitsa kwambiri ngati makhiristo achilendo akamatembenukira mkati. Tengani chikepe chapadera kupita ku Park Avenue komwe amakhala, chitseko chitha kutsegulidwa kuchipinda chochezera cha dziko la France kapena malo ogona achingelezi, malo okwera pang'ono kapena laibulale ya Byzantine. Denga liri lodzaza ndi oyera mtima ndi ofera chikhulupiriro. Palibe logic yomwe ingatsogolere kuchokera ku danga kupita ku lina. Palibe lamulo lokhazikitsa malo kapena miyambo yomanga yomwe imalumikiza nyumba yachifumu ya 12 koloko ndi kachisi wa 24 koloko. Mbuye wawo ali ngati iwo.
Ellison anandiuza kuti: “Sindikupeza ntchito m’mizinda yambiri ya ku United States. “Ntchitoyi kulibe kumeneko. Ndi zaumwini kwambiri. " New York ili ndi zipinda zafulati zomwezo komanso nyumba zazitali zazitali, koma ngakhale izi zitha kuyikidwa m'nyumba zodziwika bwino kapena zomangika m'magawo owoneka bwino, pamaziko a sandbox. Kugwedezeka kapena kugwedezeka pazinyalala zamtunda wa kilomita imodzi. Pambuyo pa zaka mazana anayi akumanga ndi kugwetsa pansi, pafupifupi chipilala chilichonse chimakhala chopanda pake komanso mawonekedwe ake, ndipo nthawi iliyonse imakhala ndi zovuta zake. Nyumba ya atsamunda ndi yokongola kwambiri, koma yosalimba kwambiri. Nkhuni zawo sizimawuma m'ng'anjo, choncho matabwa oyambirira amatha kupindika, kuwola kapena kusweka. Zipolopolo za nyumba zamatawuni 1,800 ndizabwino kwambiri, koma palibe china. Makoma awo angakhale njerwa imodzi yokhuthala, ndipo matopewo anakokoloka ndi mvula. Nyumba zankhondoyo nkhondo isanachitike zinali pafupifupi zosaloŵa zipolopolo, koma ngalande zawo zachitsulo zotayirira zinali zodzaza ndi dzimbiri, ndipo mapaipi amkuwa anali osalimba ndi ong’ambika. Ellison anati: “Mukamanga nyumba ku Kansas, simuyenera kusamala nazo.
Nyumba zapakati pa zaka za m'ma 1900 zikhoza kukhala zodalirika kwambiri, koma tcherani khutu kwa omwe anamangidwa pambuyo pa 1970. Kumanga kunali kwaulere m'ma 80s. Ogwira ntchito ndi malo antchito nthawi zambiri amayendetsedwa ndi mafia. Ellison anakumbukira kuti: “Ngati mukufuna kuchita ntchito yoyendera, munthu adzaimbira foni pagulu ndipo mudzatsika ndi envelopu ya $250. Nyumba yatsopanoyo ingakhale yoipa chimodzimodzi. M'chipinda chapamwamba ku Gramercy Park cha Karl Lagerfeld, makoma akunja akuchucha kwambiri, ndipo pansi kwina kukung'ambika ngati tchipisi ta mbatata. Koma malinga ndi zomwe Ellison adakumana nazo, choyipa kwambiri ndi Trump Tower. M'nyumba yomwe adakonzanso, mazenera adabangula, panalibe mikwingwirima yanyengo, ndipo dera linkawoneka ngati lolumikizidwa ndi zingwe zowonjezera. Anandiuza kuti pansi pamakhala mosagwirizana kwambiri, mutha kugwetsa chidutswa cha nsangalabwi ndikuwona chikugudubuzika.
Kuphunzira zofooka ndi zofooka za nthawi iliyonse ndi ntchito ya moyo wonse. Palibe doctorate m'nyumba zapamwamba. Akalipentala alibe maliboni abuluu. Awa ndi malo apafupi kwambiri ku United States ku gulu lazaka zapakati, ndipo kuphunzira ndikwanthawi yayitali komanso kwanthawi yayitali. Ellison akuti zidzatenga zaka 15 kuti akhale mmisiri wamatabwa wabwino, ndipo ntchito imene akugwirayo idzatenganso zaka 15. “Anthu ambiri sasangalala nazo. Ndizodabwitsa komanso zovuta kwambiri,” adatero. Ku New York, ngakhale kugwetsa ndi luso lapamwamba. M’mizinda yambiri, ogwira ntchito amatha kugwiritsa ntchito khwangwala ndi nyundo poponya zinyalalazo m’chinyalala. Koma m’nyumba yodzaza ndi eni ake olemera, ozindikira, ogwira ntchitoyo ayenera kuchita maopaleshoni. Dothi lililonse kapena phokoso likhoza kuyambitsa holo ya mzindawo kuyimba, ndipo chitoliro chosweka chikhoza kuwononga Degas. Choncho, makomawo ayenera kuphwanyidwa mosamala, ndipo zidutswazo ziyenera kuikidwa muzitsulo zogudubuza kapena ng'oma za galoni 55, zopopera kuti zithetse fumbi, ndikusindikizidwa ndi pulasitiki. Kungogwetsa nyumba kungawononge gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu a US$1 miliyoni.
Ma co-op ambiri ndi nyumba zapamwamba amatsatira "malamulo achilimwe." Amangolola kumanga pakati pa Tsiku la Chikumbutso ndi Tsiku la Ntchito, pamene mwiniwake akupumula ku Tuscany kapena Hampton. Izi zakulitsa zovuta zomwe zachitika kale. Palibe msewu, kuseri kwa nyumba, kapena malo otseguka oti muyikepo zida. Misewuyo ndi yopapatiza, masitepe ndi opapatiza komanso opapatiza, ndipo chikepe chili ndi anthu atatu. Zili ngati kumanga chombo mu botolo. Pamene galimotoyo inafika ndi mulu wa mipanda yowuma, inakakamira kumbuyo kwa galimoto yomwe inkayenda. Posakhalitsa, kuchuluka kwa magalimoto pamsewu, kulira kwa nyanga, ndipo apolisi akupereka matikiti. Kenako woyandikana naye adapereka madandaulo ndipo tsambalo lidatsekedwa. Ngakhale chilolezocho chili bwino, malamulo omanga ndi njira yodutsamo. Nyumba ziwiri ku East Harlem zidaphulika, zomwe zidapangitsa kuti gasi aziyendera kwambiri. Khoma lotsekera pa Yunivesite ya Columbia lidagwa ndikupha wophunzira, zomwe zidayambitsa mulingo watsopano wakunja. Mnyamata wamng'ono adagwa kuchokera pansi pa makumi asanu ndi atatu. Kuyambira pano, mazenera a zipinda zonse zokhala ndi ana sangathe kutsegulidwa kuposa mainchesi anayi ndi theka. Ellison anandiuza kuti: “Pali mwambi wakale wakuti malamulo omangira amalembedwa m’magazi. “Zinalembedwanso m’malembo okwiyitsa.” Zaka zingapo zapitazo, Cindy Crawford anali ndi maphwando ambiri ndipo mgwirizano watsopano wa phokoso unabadwa.
Nthawi yonseyi, ogwira ntchito akamadutsa zopinga zowonekera mumzinda, ndipo kumapeto kwa chilimwe kumayandikira, eni ake akukonzanso mapulani awo kuti awonjezere zovuta. Chaka chatha, Ellison anamaliza zaka zitatu, 42 miliyoni US dollar 72nd Street kukonzanso penthouse ntchito. Nyumbayi ili ndi zipinda zisanu ndi chimodzi ndi 20,000 masikweya mita. Asanamalize, adayenera kupanga ndi kupanga mipando yopitilira 50 ndi zida zamakina -kuchokera pa TV yochotsa pamwamba pa poyatsira panja kupita pachitseko chosavomerezeka kwa ana chofanana ndi origami. Kampani yamalonda ingatenge zaka kuti ipange ndikuyesa chilichonse. Ellison ali ndi masabata angapo. "Tilibe nthawi yopangira ma prototypes," adatero. “Anthuwa akufunitsitsa kulowa m’malo ano. Kotero ndinali ndi mwayi. Ife tinapanga chitsanzo, ndiyeno iwo anakhala mmenemo.”
Ellison ndi mnzake Adam Marelli adakhala patebulo losakhalitsa la plywood mnyumba ya tauniyo, ndikuwunikanso dongosolo latsikulo. Ellison nthawi zambiri amagwira ntchito ngati kontrakitala wodziyimira pawokha ndipo amalembedwa ntchito kuti amange mbali zina za polojekiti. Koma iye ndi Magneti Marelli posachedwapa adagwirizana kuti ayang'anire ntchito yonse yokonzanso. Ellison ali ndi udindo wokonza ndi kutsirizitsa kwa nyumbayo - makoma, masitepe, makabati, matailosi ndi matabwa - pamene Marelli ali ndi udindo woyang'anira ntchito zake zamkati: mabomba, magetsi, sprinklers ndi mpweya wabwino. Marelli, wazaka 40, adaphunzitsidwa ngati wojambula wotsogola ku New York University. Anapereka nthawi yake pojambula, zomangamanga, kujambula ndi kusewera mafunde ku Lavalette, New Jersey. Ndi tsitsi lake lalitali labulauni komanso kalembedwe ka m'chiuno kakang'ono, akuwoneka kuti ndi mnzake wachilendo wa Ellison ndi gulu lake-elf pakati pa bulldogs. Koma ankangotengeka ndi zaluso ngati Ellison. M'kati mwa ntchito yawo, adayankhula mwachikondi pakati pa mapulani ndi ma facade, Napoleonic Code ndi ma stepwell a Rajasthan, ndikukambirananso za akachisi aku Japan ndi zomangamanga zachi Greek. "Zonse ndi za ellipses ndi manambala opanda nzeru," adatero Ellison. “Ichi ndi chilankhulo cha nyimbo ndi luso. Zili ngati moyo: palibe chomwe chimathetsedwa ndi wekha.
Imeneyi inali sabata yoyamba imene anabwerera ku malowo patatha miyezi itatu. Nthawi yomaliza yomwe ndinawona Ellison anali kumapeto kwa February, pamene anali kumenyana ndi denga la bafa, ndipo ankayembekezera kuti amalize ntchitoyi isanafike chilimwe. Kenako zonse zinatha mwadzidzidzi. Mliriwu utayamba, panali malo 40,000 omanga ku New York, pafupifupi kuwirikiza kawiri kuchuluka kwa malo odyera mumzindawo. Poyamba, masambawa adakhala otseguka ngati bizinesi yoyambira. M'mapulojekiti ena omwe ali ndi milandu yotsimikizika, ogwira ntchito alibe chochita koma kupita kuntchito ndikukwera chikepe pamtunda wa 20 kapena kuposerapo. Sizinafike kumapeto kwa Marichi, ogwira ntchito atachita ziwonetsero, pomwe pafupifupi 90% yamalo antchito adatsekedwa. Ngakhale m'nyumba, mumatha kumva kulibe, ngati kuti mulibe phokoso la magalimoto mwadzidzidzi. Phokoso la nyumba zotuluka pansi ndilo kamvekedwe ka mzindawo—kugunda kwa mtima wake. Kudali chete chete tsopano.
Ellison anakhala kasupe yekha mu studio yake ku Newburgh, ulendo wa ola limodzi kuchokera ku Hudson River. Amapanga magawo a nyumba ya tauni ndipo amatchera khutu kwa ma subcontractors ake. Makampani okwana 33 akukonzekera kutenga nawo gawo pantchitoyi, kuyambira omanga nyumba ndi omanga njerwa mpaka osula zitsulo ndi opanga konkriti. Sakudziwa kuti ndi anthu angati omwe abwere kuchokera kumalo okhala kwaokha. Ntchito yokonzanso nthawi zambiri imatsalira kumbuyo kwachuma ndi zaka ziwiri. Mwiniwake amalandira bonasi ya Khrisimasi, amalemba ntchito mmisiri wa zomangamanga ndi kontrakitala, ndiyeno amadikirira kuti zojambulazo zithe, zilolezo zimaperekedwa, ndipo ogwira nawo ntchito amachoka m'mavuto. Pofika nthawi yomangamanga, nthawi zambiri imakhala mochedwa kwambiri. Koma tsopano nyumba zamaofesi ku Manhattan zilibe kanthu, bungwe la co-ops laletsa zomanga zonse zatsopano zamtsogolo. Ellison adati: "Sakufuna kuti gulu la anthu onyansa omwe anyamula Covid aziyendayenda."
Pamene mzindawu unayambiranso kumanga pa June 8, unakhazikitsa malire okhwima ndi mapangano, mochirikizidwa ndi chindapusa cha madola zikwi zisanu. Ogwira ntchito ayenera kutenga kutentha kwa thupi lawo ndikuyankha mafunso azaumoyo, kuvala masks ndikukhala kutali-boma limaletsa malo omanga kwa wogwira ntchito m'modzi pa 250 masikweya mita. Malo a 7,000-square-foot-foot ngati amenewa amatha kukhala anthu 28 okha. Masiku ano, pali anthu khumi ndi asanu ndi awiri. Ogwira ntchito ena akuzengerezabe kuchoka m'dera lokhala kwaokha. Ellison anati: "Olowa nawo, ogwira ntchito zachitsulo, ndi akalipentala amitundu yonse ndi a msasa uno. "Ali bwinoko pang'ono. Ali ndi bizinesi yawoyawo ndipo adatsegula situdiyo ku Connecticut. ” Iye moseka ankawatchula kuti amalonda akuluakulu. Marelli anaseka kuti: “Awo amene ali ndi digiri ya ku koleji kusukulu ya zaluso kaŵirikaŵiri amawapanga kuchokera ku minofu yofewa.” Ena anachoka m’tauniyo milungu ingapo yapitayo. "Iron Man adabwerera ku Ecuador," adatero Ellison. "Anati abweranso pakatha milungu iwiri, koma ali ku Guayaquil ndipo akutenga mkazi wake."
Mofanana ndi anthu ambiri ogwira ntchito mumzindawu, nyumba za Ellison ndi Marelli zinali zodzaza ndi anthu a m’badwo woyamba: okonza mapaipi a ku Russia, ogwira ntchito pansi ku Hungary, akatswiri a zamagetsi a ku Guyana, ndi osema miyala a ku Bangladesh. Mtundu ndi mafakitale nthawi zambiri zimabwera palimodzi. Ellison atasamukira ku New York m’zaka za m’ma 1970, akalipentala ankaoneka kuti anali Achiairishi. Kenaka adabwerera kwawo panthawi ya kulemera kwa Celtic Tigers ndipo adasinthidwa ndi mafunde a Serbs, Albanians, Guatemalans, Honduras, Colombians ndi Ecuadorians. Mutha kuyang'anira mikangano ndi kugwa kwa dziko kudzera mwa anthu omwe ali pamwambo ku New York. Anthu ena amabwera kuno ndi madigiri apamwamba omwe alibe ntchito kwa iwo. Ena akuthawa magulu opha anthu, mabungwe ogulitsa mankhwala osokoneza bongo, kapena matenda am'mbuyomu: kolera, Ebola, meningitis, yellow fever. "Ngati mukuyang'ana malo oti mugwire ntchito nthawi zovuta, New York si malo oyipa," adatero Marelli. “Simuli pa nsanje yansungwi. Simudzamenyedwa kapena kunyengedwa ndi dziko lachigawenga. Munthu waku Puerto Rico amatha kuphatikizika mwachindunji m'gulu la anthu aku Nepalese. Ngati mungatsatire zomanga, mutha kugwira ntchito tsiku lonse. ”
Masimpe eeci ncintu cibi. Koma munyengo iliyonse, kumanga ndi bizinesi yowopsa. Ngakhale malamulo a OSHA ndi kuyendera chitetezo, ogwira ntchito 1,000 ku United States amamwalirabe kuntchito chaka chilichonse-kuposa makampani ena onse. Anafa chifukwa cha kugwedezeka kwa magetsi ndi mpweya wophulika, utsi wapoizoni, ndi mapaipi osweka; anapanikizidwa ndi mafoloko, makina, ndi kukwiriridwa mu zinyalala; anagwa kuchokera padenga, matabwa, makwerero, ndi cranes. Ngozi zambiri za Ellison zidachitika pomwe adakwera njinga kupita pamalowa. (Woyamba anathyoka dzanja lake ndi nthiti ziŵiri; wachiwiri anathyoka chiuno; wachitatu anathyoka nsagwada ndi mano aŵiri.) Koma pa dzanja lake lamanzere pali chilonda chachikulu chimene chinatsala pang’ono kuthyoka dzanja lake. Anaziwona, ndipo adawona manja atatu akudulidwa pamalo ogwirira ntchito. Ngakhale Marelli, yemwe nthawi zambiri amaumirira utsogoleri, adatsala pang'ono kuchita khungu zaka zingapo zapitazo. Pamene zidutswa zitatu zinatuluka ndi kum’boola m’diso lake lakumanja, iye anaima pafupi ndi wantchito amene anali kudula misomali yachitsulo ndi macheka. Linali Lachisanu. Loweruka, adapempha dokotala wamaso kuti achotse zinyalala ndikuchotsa dzimbiri. Lolemba, anabwerera kuntchito.
Madzulo ena kumapeto kwa July, ndinakumana ndi Ellison ndi Marelli pamsewu wokhala ndi mitengo pakona ya Metropolitan Museum of Art ku Upper East Side. Tikuchezera nyumba yomwe Ellison adagwira ntchito zaka 17 zapitazo. Pali zipinda khumi mnyumba yakutawuni yomwe idamangidwa mu 1901, ya wazamalonda komanso wopanga Broadway James Fantaci ndi mkazi wake Anna. (Iwo adagulitsa pafupifupi madola 20 miliyoni a US mu 2015.) Kuchokera pamsewu, nyumbayi ili ndi luso lamphamvu, lokhala ndi magalasi a miyala yamchere ndi zitsulo zopangira zitsulo. Koma tikangolowa mkatikati, mizere yake yokonzedwanso imayamba kufewa kukhala kalembedwe ka Art Nouveau, ndi makoma ndi matabwa opindika ndi kutipinda mozungulira. Zili ngati kuyenda mu kakombo wamadzi. Khomo la chipinda chachikulucho limapangidwa ngati tsamba lopindika, ndipo masitepe ozungulira ozungulira amapangidwa kuseri kwa chitseko. Ellison adathandizira kukhazikitsa awiriwa ndikuwonetsetsa kuti akugwirizana ndi mapindikidwe a wina ndi mnzake. Chovalacho chimapangidwa ndi ma cherries olimba ndipo chimachokera ku chitsanzo chojambula ndi katswiri wa zomangamanga Angela Dirks. Malo odyerawa ali ndi kanjira kagalasi kokhala ndi njanji zojambulidwa ndi nickel zojambulidwa ndi Ellison ndi zokongoletsera zamaluwa za tulip. Ngakhale chipinda chosungiramo vinyo chimakhala ndi denga lopindika la nkhuni. "Ichi ndiye chapafupi kwambiri chomwe ndidakhalapo nacho chokongola," adatero Ellison.
Zaka 100 zapitazo, kumanga nyumba yotero ku Paris kunafunikira luso lodabwitsa. Masiku ano, ndizovuta kwambiri. Sikuti miyambo imeneyi yatsala pang'ono kutha, koma ndi zinthu zambiri zokongola kwambiri - mahogany a ku Spain, Carpathian elm, woyera woyera Thassos marble. Chipindacho chakonzedwanso. Mabokosi omwe kale anali okongoletsedwa tsopano asanduka makina ovuta. pulasitala ndi wosanjikiza wopyapyala wa gauze, amene amabisa gasi wochuluka, magetsi, kuwala ulusi ndi zingwe, utsi detectors, zoyenda, makina stereo ndi makamera chitetezo, Wi-Fi routers, kayendedwe ka nyengo, thiransifoma, ndi magetsi basi. . Ndi nyumba ya sprinkler. Zotsatira zake n’zakuti nyumba n’njovuta kwambiri moti pangafunike antchito anthawi zonse kuti aziisamalira. Ellison anandiuza kuti: “Sindikuganiza kuti ndinamangapo nyumba ya kasitomala amene ali woyenerera kukhala kumeneko.
Kumanga nyumba kwasanduka gawo la vuto la obsessive-compulsive disorder. Nyumba yonga iyi ingafunike njira zambiri kuposa chotengera chamulengalenga—kuchokera ku mawonekedwe ndi patina wa hinji iliyonse ndi zogwirira mpaka pomwe pali alamu yazenera lililonse. Makasitomala ena amatopa posankha zochita. Iwo sangadzilole okha kusankha pa sensa ina yakutali. Ena amaumirira kusintha chilichonse. Kwa nthawi yayitali, ma slabs a granite omwe amatha kuwonedwa paliponse pamakina ophikira afalikira ku makabati ndi zida zamagetsi monga nkhungu za geological. Pofuna kunyamula kulemera kwa thanthwe ndikuletsa chitseko kung'ambika, Ellison adayenera kukonzanso zida zonse. M’nyumba ina yomwe inali pa 20th Street, khomo lakumaso linali lolemera kwambiri, ndipo hinjere yokhayo imene inkagwirapo ntchitoyo inali kusungira seloyo.
Pamene tikuyenda m'nyumbamo, Ellison ankangotsegula zipinda zobisika - mapanelo olowera, mabokosi ophwanyira dera, zotengera zachinsinsi ndi makabati amankhwala - chilichonse chimayikidwa mochenjera mu pulasitala kapena matabwa. Iye ananena kuti chimodzi mwa zinthu zovuta kwambiri pa ntchitoyo ndi kupeza malo. Kodi pali chinthu chovuta chotere? Nyumba zakumidzi zili zodzaza ndi ma voids osavuta. Ngati chothandizira mpweya sichikukwanira padenga, chonde chilowetseni m'chipinda chapansi kapena chapansi. Koma nyumba zogona ku New York sizikhululuka. "Pamwamba? Kodi chipinda chapamwamba ndi chiyani?" Marelli anatero. "Anthu mumzinda uno akumenyera nkhondo yopitilira theka la inchi." Mawaya ndi mapaipi amtunda wa makilomita mazanamazana amaikidwa pakati pa pulasitala ndi zokokera pamakoma amenewa, okulungidwa ngati matabwa ozungulira. Kulekerera sikusiyana kwambiri ndi makampani opanga ma yacht.
"Zili ngati kuthetsa vuto lalikulu," adatero Angela Dex. "Ingoganizirani momwe mungapangire mapaipi onse osagwetsa denga kapena kutulutsa misala - ndi chizunzo." Dirks, wazaka 52, waphunzitsidwa ku Columbia University ndi Princeton University ndipo amagwira ntchito yopanga nyumba zamkati. Ananenanso kuti pazaka 25 za ntchito yake yomanga nyumba, ali ndi mapulojekiti anayi okha amtundu uwu omwe amatha kulabadira mwatsatanetsatane. Nthawi ina, kasitomala wina adamutsata m'sitima yapamadzi yomwe ili pagombe la Alaska. Anati thaulo la bafa lija linali kuikidwa tsiku limenelo. Kodi Dirks angavomereze malowa?
Eni ake ambiri sangadikire kudikirira womanga kuti amasule kink iliyonse pamapaipi. Ali ndi ngongole ziwiri zoti apitilize mpaka kukonzanso kutha. Masiku ano, mtengo pa phazi lalikulu la mapulojekiti a Ellison siwochepera $1,500, ndipo nthawi zina ngakhale kuwirikiza kawiri. Khitchini yatsopano imayamba pa 150,000; bafa lalikulu limatha kuthamanga kwambiri. Kutalika kwa nthawi ya polojekitiyi, mtengo umayamba kukwera. "Sindinawonepo pulani yomwe ingamangidwe monga momwe akufunira," Marelli anandiuza. "Iwo mwina ndi osakwanira, amatsutsana ndi sayansi, kapena pali zithunzi zomwe sizifotokoza momwe angakwaniritsire zokhumba zawo." Kenako mkombero wodziwika unayamba. Eni ake amaika bajeti, koma zofunikira zinaposa mphamvu zawo. Omangawo adalonjeza zokwera kwambiri ndipo makontrakitala adapereka zotsika kwambiri, chifukwa adadziwa kuti mapulaniwo anali amalingaliro pang'ono. Ntchito yomangayo inayambika, kenako anthu ambiri analamula kuti asinthe. Dongosolo lomwe lidatenga chaka ndikuwononga madola chikwi pa phazi lalikulu la baluni kutalika kwake komanso kuwirikiza mtengo, aliyense adadzudzula wina aliyense. Ikangotsika ndi gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu, amachitcha kuti yapambana.
"Ndi dongosolo lopenga," Ellison anandiuza ine. "Masewera onse amakhazikitsidwa kuti zolinga za aliyense zikhale zotsutsana. Ichi ndi chizolowezi komanso chizolowezi choipa. " Nthaŵi zambiri pa ntchito yake, sanapange zosankha zazikulu. Iye ndi mfuti yaganyu ndipo amagwira ntchito pa ola limodzi. Koma mapulojekiti ena ndi ovuta kwambiri kuti agwire ntchito pang'onopang'ono. Zili ngati injini zamagalimoto kuposa nyumba: ziyenera kupangidwa mosanjikiza ndi wosanjikiza kuchokera mkati kupita kunja, ndipo gawo lililonse limayikidwa motsatira. Pamene matope omaliza aikidwa, mapaipi ndi mawaya pansi pake ayenera kukhala athyathyathya ndi perpendicular mpaka mkati mwa mainchesi 16 pamwamba pa 10 mapazi. Komabe, makampani aliwonse ali ndi kulekerera kosiyana: cholinga cha womanga zitsulo ndi kukhala wolondola mpaka theka la inchi, kulondola kwa mmisiri ndi kotala inchi, kulondola kwa sheeter ndi gawo limodzi mwa magawo asanu ndi atatu a inchi, ndipo kulondola kwa womanga miyala ndi gawo limodzi mwa magawo asanu ndi atatu a inchi. inchi. Mmodzi khumi ndi zisanu ndi chimodzi. Ntchito ya Ellison ndikusunga zonse patsamba limodzi.
Dirks akukumbukira kuti adalowa kwa iye tsiku lina atatengedwa kuti ayendetse ntchitoyo. Nyumbayo inali itagwetsedwa kotheratu, ndipo anakhala mlungu wathunthu m’malo owonongekawo ali yekha. Anatenga miyeso, kuyika mzere wapakati, ndikuwona mawonekedwe aliwonse, soketi ndi mapanelo. Wajambula mazana a zojambula pamanja pa pepala la graph, kusiyanitsa mfundo zamavuto ndikufotokozera momwe angakonzere. Mafelemu a zitseko ndi zitsulo zotchinga, zitsulo zozungulira masitepe, mipope yotsekeredwa kuseri kwa nduwira ya korona, ndi makatani amagetsi otsekeredwa m’matumba a mazenera zonse zili ndi tizigawo ting’onoting’ono todutsana, zonsezo zimasonkhanitsidwa m’bokosi lalikulu lakuda la mphete. "Ndicho chifukwa chake aliyense akufuna Mark kapena wokonda Mark," Dex anandiuza. “Chikalatachi chimati, ‘Sindikungodziwa zimene zikuchitika kuno, komanso zimene zikuchitika m’dera lililonse ndiponso m’ndondomeko iliyonse.’”
Zotsatira za mapulani onsewa zimawonekera kwambiri kuposa momwe zimawonekera. Mwachitsanzo, mu khitchini ndi bafa, makoma ndi pansi ndi osadziwika, koma mwanjira yabwino. Pokhapokha mutawayang'ana kwakanthawi ndi pomwe mudapeza chifukwa: matailosi aliwonse pamzere uliwonse watha; palibe zolumikizira zolumikizana kapena malire ocheperako. Ellison analingalira miyeso yomalizayi pomanga chipindacho. Palibe tile yomwe iyenera kudulidwa. “Nditalowa, ndinakumbukira Mark atakhala pamenepo,” anatero Dex. “Ndinamufunsa zimene anali kuchita, ndipo anandiyang’ana n’kunena kuti, ‘Ndikuganiza kuti ndatha. Ndi chigoba chopanda kanthu, koma zonse zili m’maganizo mwa Mark.”
Nyumba ya Ellison yomwe ili moyang'anizana ndi chomera chomwe chinasiyidwa pakatikati pa Newburgh. Inamangidwa mu 1849 ngati sukulu ya anyamata. Ndi bokosi la njerwa wamba, loyang'ana m'mphepete mwa msewu, ndi khonde lowonongeka lamatabwa kutsogolo. Pansipa pali situdiyo ya Ellison, pomwe anyamatawo ankaphunzira ntchito zazitsulo ndi zamatabwa. Pamwamba pake pali nyumba yake, yayitali, yonga nkhokwe yodzaza ndi magitala, amplifiers, ziwalo za Hammond ndi zida zina zamagulu. Chopachikidwa pakhoma ndi zojambula zomwe amayi ake adambwereketsa —makamaka mawonekedwe akutali a Mtsinje wa Hudson ndi zojambula zamadzi zazithunzi za moyo wake wa samurai, kuphatikiza wankhondo wodula mutu mdani wake. Kwa zaka zambiri, m’nyumbayi munkakhala anthu ogona ndi agalu osochera. Idakonzedwanso mu 2016, Ellison atatsala pang'ono kusamukira, koma malowa akadali ovuta. M'zaka ziwiri zapitazi, pakhala kupha anthu anayi m'malo awiri.
Ellison ali ndi malo abwinoko: nyumba yatawuni ku Brooklyn; nyumba yogona sikisi ya Victorian yomwe adayikonzanso pa Staten Island; nyumba yafamu pamtsinje wa Hudson. Koma kusudzulana kunamubweretsa kuno, kumbali ya mtsinje wa buluu, kuwoloka mlatho ndi mkazi wake wakale mu Beacon yapamwamba, kusintha kumeneku kunkawoneka kuti kunali koyenera kwa iye. Akuphunzira Lindy Hop, akusewera mu bandi ya honky tonk, komanso kucheza ndi akatswiri ojambula ndi omanga omwe ali m'malo kapena osauka kwambiri kuti azikhala ku New York. Mu Januwale chaka chatha, malo oyaka moto omwe anali midadada pang'ono kuchokera kunyumba ya Ellison adagulitsidwa. Zikwi mazana asanu ndi limodzi, chakudya sichinapezeke, ndiye mtengo wake unatsika kufika zikwi mazana asanu, ndipo adakukutira mano. Akuganiza kuti ndi kukonzanso pang'ono, awa akhoza kukhala malo abwino opuma pantchito. “Ndimakonda Newburgh,” anandiuza motero pamene ndinapita kukamuona. "Pali zodabwitsa kulikonse. Sizinabwere - zikuyenda bwino. "
Tsiku lina m’maŵa titadya chakudya cham’maŵa, tinayima pasitolo ina yogulitsira zinthu zopangira zida zachitsulo kuti tigule zitsulo zomangira matebulo ake. Ellison amakonda kusunga zida zake zosavuta komanso zosunthika. Situdiyo yake ili ndi kalembedwe ka steampunk-pafupifupi koma osati chimodzimodzi ndi ma studio a 1840s-ndipo moyo wake wapagulu uli ndi mphamvu zosakanikirana zofanana. Iye anandiuza kuti: “Patapita zaka zambiri, ndimatha kulankhula zinenero 17. “Ndine wogaya. Ndine bwenzi la galasi. Ndine munthu wamwala. Ndine injiniya. Kukongola kwa chinthu ichi ndikuti mumayamba kukumba dzenje m'nthaka, kenako ndikupukuta pang'ono mkuwa womaliza ndi sandpaper ya grit zikwi zisanu ndi chimodzi. Kwa ine, zonse ndi zabwino. "
Ali mnyamata yemwe anakulira ku Pittsburgh chapakati pa zaka za m'ma 1960, adachita maphunziro omiza mu kutembenuka kwa code. Munali m’nyengo ya mzinda wachitsulo, ndipo mafakitale anali odzaza ndi Agiriki, Italiya, Scots, Irish, Germany, Eastern Europe, ndi akuda akumwera, amene anasamukira kumpoto pa Great Migration. Amagwira ntchito limodzi m'ng'anjo zotseguka ndi zophulika, kenako amapita kumadzi awo Lachisanu usiku. Unali tauni yauve, yamaliseche, ndipo panali nsomba zambiri zoyandama m’mimba pa mtsinje wa Monongahela, ndipo Ellison anaganiza kuti izi n’zimenenso nsombazo zinachita. “Fungo la mwaye, nthunzi, ndi mafuta—ndilo fungo la ubwana wanga,” iye anandiuza ine. “Mutha kuyendetsa galimoto kupita kumtsinjeko usiku, kumene kuli mphero zachitsulo za makilomita ochepa chabe amene sasiya kugwira ntchito. Iwo amayaka ndi kuponya zipsera ndi utsi mu mlengalenga. Zilombo zazikuluzikuluzi zikuwononga aliyense, sadziwa.”
Nyumba yake ili pakati pa mbali zonse ziwiri za masitepe a m'tawuni, pamzere wofiira pakati pa anthu akuda ndi oyera, okwera ndi otsika. Bambo ake anali katswiri wa zachikhalidwe cha anthu komanso m'busa wakale-pamene Reinhold Niebuhr anali kumeneko, adaphunzira ku United Theological Seminary. Amayi ake anapita ku sukulu ya zachipatala ndipo anaphunzitsidwa monga katswiri wa zamaganizo a ana pamene akulera ana anayi. Mark ndi wachiwiri wotsiriza. M'mawa, adapita kusukulu yoyesera yotsegulidwa ndi yunivesite ya Pittsburgh, komwe kuli makalasi am'magulu ndi aphunzitsi a hippie. Madzulo, iye ndi khamu la ana anali kukwera njinga zokhala ndi nthochi, kuponda magudumu, kudumpha m’mphepete mwa msewu, ndi kudutsa m’malo otseguka ndi m’tchire, monga ngati ntchentche zolusa. Nthaŵi ndi nthaŵi, ankaberedwa kapena kuponyedwa m’linga. Komabe, kudakali kumwamba.
Pamene tinabwerera kunyumba yake kuchokera ku sitolo ya hardware, anandiimbira nyimbo yomwe analemba pambuyo pa ulendo waposachedwapa wopita kumudzi wakale. Aka kanali koyamba kukhala komweko pafupifupi zaka makumi asanu. Kuyimba kwa Ellison ndi chinthu choyambirira komanso chovuta, koma mawu ake amatha kukhala omasuka komanso achifundo. "Zimatenga zaka khumi ndi zisanu ndi zitatu kuti munthu akule / zaka zingapo kuti amveke bwino," anaimba. "Lolani mzinda ukule kwa zaka zana / kuwugwetsa mu tsiku limodzi lokha / nthawi yomaliza yomwe ndinachoka ku Pittsburgh / iwo anamanga mzinda umene mzinda umenewo unalipo / anthu ena angapeze njira yobwerera / koma osati ine."
Pamene anali ndi zaka khumi, amayi ake ankakhala ku Albany, momwemonso ku Pittsburgh. Ellison anakhala zaka zinayi zotsatira pasukulu yakwawoko, “kupangitsa chitsiru kuchita bwino.” Kenako anakumana ndi ululu wamtundu wina pasukulu yasekondale ya Phillips College ku Andover, Massachusetts. Pamakhalidwe, inali malo ophunzitsira amuna a ku America: John F. Kennedy (Jr.) analipo panthawiyo. Mwanzeru, ndizovuta, koma zimabisikanso. Ellison nthawi zonse amakhala woganiza bwino. Angathe kuthera maola angapo kuti aone mmene mphamvu ya maginito yapadziko lapansi imakhudzira mmene mbalame zimawulukira, koma kaŵirikaŵiri sizimagwa m’mavuto. “Mwachionekere, sindine wa kuno,” iye anatero.
Anaphunzira kulankhula ndi anthu olemera—imeneyi ndi luso lothandiza. Ndipo, ngakhale adatenga nthawi yotsuka mbale ya Howard Johnson, wobzala mitengo ku Georgia, ogwira ntchito ku zoo ku Arizona, komanso mmisiri wamatabwa waku Boston, adakwanitsa kulowa chaka chake chachikulu. Komabe, adamaliza maphunziro ake ola limodzi lokha. Mulimonse mmene zinalili, pamene yunivesite ya Columbia inamulandira, iye anasiya sukulu pambuyo pa milungu isanu ndi umodzi, pozindikira kuti kunali kokulirapo. Anapeza nyumba yotsika mtengo ku Harlem, anaika zikwangwani za mimeograph, anapereka mipata yomanga nyumba za m’mwamba ndi zosungiramo mabuku, ndipo anapeza ntchito yaganyu kuti agwire ntchitoyo. Anzake a m’kalasi atakhala maloya, mabroker, ndi amalonda a hedge fund—omwe adzawathandize m’tsogolo—iye anatsitsa katundu m’galimotoyo, kuphunzira banjo, kugwira ntchito m’sitolo yosungiramo mabuku, kutenga ayisikilimu, ndipo pang’onopang’ono anakhoza kuchita malonda. Mizere yowongoka ndi yosavuta, koma makhoti ndi ovuta.
Ellison wakhala akugwira ntchitoyi kwa nthawi yaitali, kotero kuti luso lake ndi lachiwiri kwa iye. Amatha kupangitsa luso lake kukhala lodabwitsa komanso losasamala. Tsiku lina ndinaona chitsanzo chabwino ku Newburgh, pamene ankamanga masitepe a nyumba ya m’tauni. Masitepe ndi ntchito yodziwika bwino ya Ellison. Ndiwo nyumba zovuta kwambiri m’nyumba zambiri—ziyenera kuima paokha ndi kusuntha m’mlengalenga—ngakhale zolakwa zing’onozing’ono zingayambitse kudzikundikirana koopsa. Ngati sitepe iliyonse ili yotsika kwambiri kwa masekondi 30, ndiye kuti masitepe angakhale otsika ndi mainchesi atatu kuposa nsanja yapamwamba kwambiri. "Masitepe olakwika mwachiwonekere akulakwika," adatero Marelli.
Komabe, masitepewa amapangidwanso kuti akope chidwi cha anthu. M'nyumba yayikulu ngati Breakers, nyumba yotentha ya banja la Vanderbilt ku Newport idamangidwa mu 1895, ndipo masitepe ali ngati chinsalu. Alendowo atangofika, maso awo anasuntha kuchoka ku holo kupita kwa mbuye wokongola yemwe anali mu mwinjiro pa njanji. Masitepewo anali otsika mwadala mainchesi sikisi m'malo mwa mainchesi asanu ndi awiri ndi theka omwe mwachizolowezi - kuti amulole kutsetsereka popanda mphamvu yokoka kuti alowe nawo phwandolo.
Katswiri wa zomangamanga Santiago Calatrava nthawi ina adatchula masitepe omwe Ellison anamupangira ngati mwaluso. Izi sizinafikire muyezo umenewo—Ellison anakhulupirira kuyambira pachiyambi kuti iyenera kukonzedwanso. Zojambulazo zimafuna kuti sitepe iliyonse ikhale yopangidwa ndi chitsulo chimodzi cha perforated, chopindika kuti chipange sitepe. Koma makulidwe achitsulo ndi osakwana gawo limodzi mwa magawo asanu ndi atatu a inchi, ndipo pafupifupi theka lake ndi dzenje. Ellison anawerengera kuti ngati anthu angapo akwera masitepe nthawi imodzi, amatha kupindika ngati macheka. Kuti zinthu ziipireipire, chitsulocho chimatulutsa kusweka kwa kupsinjika ndi m'mphepete mwake mozungulira. Iye anati: "Imasanduka ng'anjo ya tchizi ya munthu." Umenewo ndiye mlandu wabwino koposa. Ngati mwiniwake wotsatira asankha kusuntha piyano yaikulu pamwamba, nyumba yonseyo ikhoza kugwa.
Ellison anati: “Anthu amandipatsa ndalama zambiri kuti andithandize kumvetsa zimenezi.” Koma njira ina si yophweka. Chitsulo chokwana kota cha inchi chimakhala champhamvu kwambiri, koma akapindika, chitsulocho chimang’ambikabe. Choncho Ellison anapita sitepe ina. Anaphulitsa chitsulocho ndi blowtorch mpaka chinawala lalanje wakuda, kenako ndikuchisiya kuti chizizire pang'onopang'ono. Njira imeneyi, yotchedwa annealing, imasinthanso ma atomu ndi kumasula zomangira, kupanga chitsulo kukhala ductile. Pamene anapindanso chitsulocho, palibe kung’ambika.
Othandizira amayankha mafunso osiyanasiyana. Awa ndiwo matabwa a matabwa, mbali ndi masitepe. M'zojambulazo, amapangidwa ndi matabwa a popula ndipo amapindika ngati nthiti zopanda msoko kuchokera pansi mpaka pansi. Koma mungadule bwanji slab kukhala yokhotakhota? Ma routers ndi ma fixtures amatha kumaliza ntchitoyi, koma zimatenga nthawi yayitali. Chojambula choyendetsedwa ndi makompyuta chikhoza kugwira ntchito, koma chatsopano chidzawononga madola zikwi zitatu. Ellison anaganiza zogwiritsa ntchito macheka a tebulo, koma panali vuto: macheka a tebulo sakanatha kudula mipiringidzo. Tsamba lake lozungulira lathyathyathya lapangidwa kuti lizidulira pa bolodi. Ikhoza kupendekera kumanzere kapena kumanja kwa mabala aang'ono, koma palibenso china.
"Iyi ndi imodzi mwa 'osayesa izi kunyumba, ana!' chinthu,” adatero. Anayimilira pafupi ndi tebulo lomwe adawona ndikuwonetsa mnansi wake komanso wophunzira wakale Caine Budelman momwe angakwaniritsire izi. Budman ali ndi zaka 41: wogwira ntchito zachitsulo ku Britain, munthu wa blond atavala bun, wakhalidwe lotayirira, wamasewera. Atawotcha bowo paphazi lake ndi mpira wa aluminiyamu wosungunuka, anasiya ntchito yoponya miyala ku Rock Tavern yapafupi ndi kupanga matabwa kuti akhale ndi luso lotetezeka. Ellison sanali wotsimikiza. Bambo ake omwe anali ndi zala zisanu ndi imodzi zothyoledwa ndi macheka-katatu. "Anthu ambiri amawona koyamba ngati phunziro," adatero.
Ellison adalongosola kuti chinyengo chodula ma curve ndi macheka a tebulo ndikugwiritsa ntchito macheka olakwika. Anagwira thabwa la poplar pa mulu wa pa benchi. Sanaiike patsogolo pa mano ocheka ngati akalipentala ambiri, koma anaiika pafupi ndi mano a machekawo. Kenako, akuyang'ana Budelman wosokonezekayo, adasiya tsamba lozungulira, kenako ndikukankhira pambali bolodilo. Pambuyo pa masekondi angapo, mawonekedwe osalala a theka la mwezi adajambula pa bolodi.
Ellison tsopano anali mumphamba, akukankhira thabwa kudzera pa macheka mobwerezabwereza, maso ake ali otsekedwa ndi kusuntha, tsambalo linazungulira mainchesi angapo kuchokera m'manja mwake. Kuntchito, nthawi zonse ankauza Budelman anecdotes, narrations ndi mafotokozedwe. Anandiuza kuti ukalipentala yemwe Ellison amakonda kwambiri ndi momwe amalamulira nzeru za thupi. Ali mwana akuyang'ana ma Pirates ku Three Rivers Stadium, nthawi ina adadabwa ndi momwe Roberto Clemente ankadziwa komwe angawulukire mpirawo. Akuwoneka kuti akuwerengera arc yolondola ndikuthamanga nthawi yomwe imachoka pamleme. Sikuti kusanthula kwapadera monga kukumbukira minofu. Iye anati: “Thupi lanu limangodziwa kuchita zimenezi. "Imamvetsetsa kulemera, ma levers, ndi danga m'njira yomwe ubongo wanu umafunikira kudziwa kosatha." Izi ndi zofanana ndi kuuza Ellison komwe angayike chisel kapena ngati millimeter ina yamatabwa iyenera kudulidwa. Iye anati: “Ndimamudziwa kalipentala ameneyu dzina lake Steve Allen. “Tsiku lina anatembenukira kwa ine n’kunena kuti, ‘Sindikumvetsa. Ndikagwira ntchito imeneyi, ndiyenera kuyang'anitsitsa ndipo mukulankhula zopanda pake tsiku lonse. Chinsinsi ndichoti, sindikuganiza choncho. Ndinabwera ndi Njira ina, ndiyeno ndamaliza kuganiza za izo. Sindikuvutitsanso ubongo wanga.”
Iye adavomereza kuti iyi inali njira yopusa yopangira masitepe, ndipo adakonzekera kuti asadzachitenso. "Sindikufuna kutchedwa munthu wamasitepe obowoka." Komabe, ngati atachita bwino, adzakhala ndi zinthu zamatsenga zomwe amakonda. Zingwe ndi masitepe zidzapakidwa zoyera popanda zisonga kapena zomangira. Malo osungiramo manja adzakhala othira mafuta. Dzuwa likadutsa pamlengalenga pamwamba pa masitepe, limawombera singano zopepuka m'mabowo a masitepe. Masitepewo akuwoneka ngati odetsedwa mumlengalenga. "Iyi si nyumba yomwe muyenera kuthiramo zowawa," adatero Ellison. “Aliyense akubetcha ngati galu wa mwini wake apondapo. Chifukwa agalu ndi anzeru kuposa anthu.”
Ngati Ellison atha kuchita ntchito ina asanapume, ikhoza kukhala nyumba yapanja yomwe tidayendera mu Okutobala. Ndi amodzi mwamalo akulu omaliza omwe sanatchulidwe ku New York, ndipo amodzi mwa akale kwambiri: pamwamba pa Woolworth Building. Pamene idatsegulidwa mu 1913, Woolworth inali nyumba yayitali kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi. Zingakhalebe zokongola kwambiri. Yopangidwa ndi katswiri wa zomangamanga Cass Gilbert, yokutidwa ndi terracotta yoyera yonyezimira, yokongoletsedwa ndi ma neo-gothic arches ndi zokongoletsera zawindo, ndipo imayima pafupifupi mamita 800 pamwamba pa Lower Manhattan. Malo omwe tidapitako amatenga zipinda zisanu zoyambirira, kuchokera pabwalo lomwe lili pamwamba pa malo omaliza a nyumbayo kupita kumalo owonera patali. Developer Alchemy Properties amachitcha kuti Pinnacle.
Ellison anamva za izi kwa nthawi yoyamba chaka chatha kuchokera kwa David Horsen. David Horsen ndi mmisiri wa zomangamanga yemwe nthawi zambiri amagwira naye ntchito. Mapangidwe ena a Thierry Despont atalephera kukopa ogula, Hotson adalembedwa ntchito kuti apange mapulani ndi mitundu ya 3D ya Pinnacle. Kwa Honson, vuto ndi lodziwikiratu. Despont nthawi ina ankawona nyumba ya tawuni kumwamba, yokhala ndi pansi, ma chandeliers ndi malaibulale amatabwa. Zipindazi ndi zokongola koma zonyansa-zikhoza kukhala m'nyumba iliyonse, osati nsonga ya nyumba yosanja yokongola iyi, yotalika mamita zana. Choncho Honson anawaphulitsa. M'zojambula zake, chipinda chilichonse chimapita kuchipinda china, ndikumadutsa masitepe angapo ochititsa chidwi kwambiri. "Ziyenera kuyambitsa kupuma nthawi zonse zikakwera pansi," Hotson adandiuza. "Mukabwerera ku Broadway, simudzamvetsetsa zomwe mwangowona."
Hotson wazaka 61 ndi wochepa thupi komanso wokhotakhota mofanana ndi malo omwe adapanga, ndipo nthawi zambiri amavala zovala zofanana za monochrome: tsitsi loyera, malaya otuwa, mathalauza otuwa, ndi nsapato zakuda. Pamene adaimba ku Pinnacle ndi Ellison ndi ine, adawonekabe kuti ali ndi mantha ndi kuthekera kwake-monga wotsogolera nyimbo wa chipinda yemwe adapambana ndodo ya New York Philharmonic. Chikepe chinatifikitsa ku holo yapayekha pansanjika ya 50, ndiyeno makwerero opita ku chipinda chachikulucho. M'nyumba zambiri zamakono, mbali yapakati ya zikepe ndi masitepe amafikira pamwamba ndikukhala pansi. Koma chipindachi ndi chotsegula. Denga lili ndi nsanjika ziwiri; malingaliro a arched a mzindawo akhoza kuyamikiridwa kuchokera pawindo. Mutha kuwona Palisades ndi Throgs Neck Bridge kumpoto, Sandy Hook kumwera ndi gombe la Galilee, New Jersey. Ndi malo oyera owoneka bwino okhala ndi matabwa angapo achitsulo omwe amadutsamo, komabe ndi zodabwitsa.
Kum'mawa kumunsi kwa ife, titha kuwona denga la matailosi obiriwira a pulojekiti yam'mbuyomu ya Hotson ndi Ellison. Imatchedwa House of the Sky, ndipo ndi nyumba yansanjika zinayi panyumba ina yosanja yachiroma yomwe inamangidwa kaamba ka wofalitsa wachipembedzo mu 1895. Mngelo wamkulu anali kulondera m’ngodya zonse. Pofika m'chaka cha 2007, pamene malowa adagulitsidwa $ 6.5 miliyoni - mbiri yakale m'boma lazachuma panthawiyo - idakhala yopanda anthu kwa zaka zambiri. Kulibe mipope kapena magetsi, koma zina zonse zojambulidwa za Spike Lee's "Inside Man" ndi "Synecdoche" ya Charlie Kaufman ku New York. Chipinda chopangidwa ndi Hotson ndi chosewerera anthu akuluakulu komanso chosema chowoneka bwino - chotenthetsera bwino cha Pinnacle. Mu 2015, mapangidwe amkati adavotera ngati nyumba yabwino kwambiri pazaka khumi.
Sky House si mulu wa mabokosi ayi. Ndilo lodzaza ndi malo ogawanitsa ndi kusokoneza, ngati kuti mukuyenda mu diamondi. "David, akuyimba imfa yamakona anayi mwanjira yake yokhumudwitsa ya Yale," Ellison adandiuza. Komabe, nyumbayo siimva ngati yosangalatsa monga momwe ilili, koma yodzaza ndi nthabwala zazing'ono komanso zodabwitsa. Pansi yoyera imapereka magalasi apa ndi apo, ndikukulolani kuti mulowe mumlengalenga. Chitsulo chothandizira denga la chipinda chochezera chimakhalanso mzati wokwera wokhala ndi malamba otetezeka, ndipo alendo amatha kutsika ndi zingwe. Kuseri kwa zipupa za chipinda chogona ndi bafa kuli mikwingwirima, kotero mphaka wa eni ake amatha kukwawa ndikutulutsa mutu wake pabowo laling'ono. Zipinda zonse zinayi zolumikizidwa ndi slide yayikulu yopangidwa ndi chitsulo chosapanga dzimbiri cha ku Germany chopukutidwa. Pamwamba pake, bulangeti la cashmere limaperekedwa kuti liwonetsetse kukwera kwachangu, kopanda mikangano.
