LIFE ADVANCED - VIDEO SCRIPTS UNIT 3: A STORY OF SOLUTIONS! 00.00-00.34 A lot of homes were burning down. The closest fire station was in Greensboro. So by the time the Greensboro fire department was running down...like 15minute drive to get to anyone’s house in Newbern, Alabama, not only the house probably already burned down but then their fire insurance goes up. So they have to deal with that on top of being homeless and working on finding a new place to live. ! 00.35-1.00 Andrew Freear (Rural Studio Director) We got together as a community, as a group and said, “how can we do this?”. So their focus was the organization and we were able to help them with the building, cause that is what we do, right?. Rural Studio is a partnership between Auburn University’s school of Architecture and the citizens of Hale County, Alabama. ! 1.00-2.06 Patrick Braxton The firehouse that was the first public building in Newbern for 110 years. The first time we hit a call out and then it was like, everybody, they were like, “for real?” We had a grass fire. We treated it like a house fire. Everybody come, suit up, that was our first call. How many people do you typically need for a grass fire? Two or three How many people did you have with you? I think about 32 ! Rural Studio began by building the 20K home, bringing together students, architects, and citizens to build efficient and affordable housing. They soon realized that together they could do more. In partnership with the community, they have completed over 170 architectural solutions. 2.07-2.53 The firehouse had a very practical need in this community in much the same I would say as the library is.! Frances Sullivan (former Newbern postmistress) The Newbern Library has the potential to be the most profound project Rural Studio ever built. Patrick Braxton Like Frances Sullivan did to come to me and say “We need a library in Newbern. You gonna really help have an impact in Newbern, help us with the library”.! Kesha Jones (resident) This is beautiful. What you’ve done for Newbern is a godsend. And I don’t know what made you choose here, but... ! Patrick Braxton Well, I didn’t, but we’re all really happy to be here. Kesha Jones And I’m really glad you came ! 2.53- end Rural Studio is a community, because we’re all working towards the same goal as a team. And Hale County is also working towards that same goal as a team.! Frances Sullivan Architecture has the potential to be the solution. But it is not the sole solution. It can be a catalyst. It’s the people in the end that make the difference. ! Across the country, architects are designing solutions to some of the most pressing problems. Let’s shine a light on these stories through the power of film.

UNIT 4: THIS MAN RISKED IT ALL! 00.00-1.50 Sanga Moses I made a journey to go visit my mother and on my way home I met my kid sister carrying wood. When she saw me, she started crying. She was tired of missing school at least twice a week to go gather wood for my family. Kids carry wood in Uganda because that’s what their families use to cook. Education has changed my life, so seeing my sister on the verge of losing the only opportunity she had to improve her life hit me hard. She inspired me to think about an alternative source of fuel. I quit my job. My boss thought I was crazy; my mum thought I was under a spell. I came back to Kampala and then went to a university professor. He made me stay in front of his class and said, “This young man is crazy enough to think that he can fix the energy crisis in this country. But he doesn’t know how to do it. Who wants to help him?” And everyone’s hand went up. I had 500$ and we ran through it in two months. I decided to sell my TV, my bed and my sofa set. After I sold my stuff, my girlfriend slammed the door and said “If you want to

ARTUSA GIORGIA UCSC waste your life, waste yours alone”. ! 1.51-end Now I am the CEO of Eco Fuel Africa. It’s amazing what can happen if you believe in your dreams and act upon them. We figured out how to turn farm waste like sugar cane waste, coffee husks, corn waste into clean cooking fuel that burns cleaner, burns longer, and is 65 percent cheaper. We put our product on the market, and people loved it. That when the journey began. We work with a network of 2,500 farmers. We have 460 women retailers, who sell this fuel back to the communities. Currently we reach 10,000 households. But we want to reach 16.6 million households in the next ten years. By bringing clean cooking fuel to users, we are stopping deforestation, stopping indoor air pollution, and enabling farmers and women to earn a living. More kids are in school getting the education they need. And me, I fell in love again with a wonderful woman. Now she’s my wife and together we have a beautiful baby girl. I only look at myself as an everyday community guy, trying to make his community a little bit better.

UNIT 6: THE ART OF PARKOUR! 00.00-1.01 Various claims are made about who started the sport of parkour, but as this 1940s footage shows, stuntman John Ciampa must have one of the strongest. His name is John Ciampa, aged 20, and he’s looking for a job. References: ability? Well, John’s quite an unusual guy. Here’s what he can do. He can climb a picket fence, no special shoes, no balancing pole, just nerve and an uncanny sense of balance. John has just reached draft age and he’s developing tactics that could make him a one-man commando squad. 20, 30, 40 feet, no wall too high nor too difficult for this lad. ! 1.02-4.34 The modern craze for parkour started in the suburbs of Paris in the late 1980s before spreading to other cities all over the world, like here in China. Jiu Yun Bao is one of a growing number of young city dwellers who have taken up the sport or perhaps we should call it a form of self expression which involves navigating the urban landscape by moving on, off and around obstacles without using any other equipment. The beauty of parkour is that you just improvise with the environment around you: stairways, railings, walls and ledges, making it a sport that’s accessible to everyone. So perhaps it’s not surprising that such an affordable and creative form of exercise has caught on among groups of young people in areas of the world where opportunities are more limited, such as in the Gaza Strip in Palestine. Parkour means the art of moving from one part to another as fast and easily as possible by using physical strength and ability. With unemployment at over 40 percent, and 35 percent of the population living below the poverty line, opportunities are limited here. But there is no sense of apathy amongst these youngsters who are highly focused on staying fit and active...and enjoy expressing themselves at the same time. Injuries, sprains, broken limbs or worse are an ever-present risk. Landing awkwardly on concrete is a very different matter from landing on a rubber practice mat. So one of the first lessons these parkour artists learn is how to fall. As well as giving them a sense of personal achievement, there is always the hope for practitioners of this cool sport that they may one day be asked to perform their art in a competition, a film or even as professional stuntmen...like John Ciampa before them.

UNIT 11: MADELINE THE ROBOT! 00.00-1.24 Humans and robots are companion species on this planet. We need each other. But it’s also a scary thing. It replaces the need for some of what we do, of our own labor. In my mind, we need to change these systems, from replacing human labor to augmenting and expanding and incorporating humans into the process. The idea scenario is to find the win-win: that what I do with a robot is exponentially better than what a person can do alone, or what a robot can do alone. What we see now are a global community of researchers and designers and artists really challenging the basic premise of what these

ARTUSA GIORGIA UCSC machines should be doing and can do. They can be basically reconfigured to put the human at the centre of that experience and interaction. ! 1.15-2.27 We are in the Boston dry docks at Autodesk’s brand new build space. So this is the robot I’ve been working with for the past ten weeks. This is a ABB IRB-6700 and it’s a machine that can move up to seven meters per second; it can hold 300 kilograms, over 600 pounds. What we did here is we just gave this robot the ability to see us as we moved around the space around it. So we hooked up a bunch of cameras onto the ceiling and we created some software that lets the robot see basically the entire environment around it. And what we’re trying to show here is that we can actually, with really simple tweaks to this existing technology, we can make it responsive to people and make it easy to use by people. So just through your natural gesture, the way you might communicate with another person, you can tell the robot to come a little closer, or to come over here, to come pick something up. ! 2.28-end So a lot of what we’re doing here is really pushing the boundaries of what natural gesture can communicate to this machine. The goal is to make this experience with the robot as intuitive as possible and the fact that you’re getting constant feedback between what you’re doing and how the robot is responding— it lets you discover how to control and interact with it. Someone who’s never even seen this robot before can begin interacting with it and controlling it. For people who have used and seen industrial robots, they probably have never seen it without it doing something or having something on the end of it, a tool for spot-welding or a gripper. So I’m hoping that it’s a new experience for them too, to be able to see maybe more potentials for it because they’ve never seen a robot that’s moved quite like this, never seen it so open-ended. There are really two sides of making this project and bringing this project to life. One half of it is the engineering and the logistics side of this, where you’re on the computer ten, twelve hours a day. And then, when everything comes together and you’re in a space with the robot and you just have a very raw experience with this animal-like machine responding to your every move, all the technical aspects sort of melt away into the background. It’s incredibly important to have opportunities and spaces to come in and experiment and misuse these existing technologies, because that’s how you find innovations around our current problems. By doing this, by open-sourcing these tools, and by making it available and by sharing the knowledge behind this, then together as a community we keep on lowering those barriers and making it more accessible. And making it more exciting for people who don’t see themselves as traditional robotics or computer scientists— people who just want to nerd out about robots. You don’t need to be an expert to do that; everyone has permission to do that.

UNIT 12: 3 YEARS AND 6000 MILES ON A HORSE! 00.00-end When I was 21 years old I found myself in the Gobi Desert and that’s when I first came across these amazing nomadic people. So I came up with this idea that I too could get up on a horse and ride all the way from Mongolia to the edge of the Steppe in Hungary. And to ride through Kazakhstan, southern Russia, Crimea, Ukraine, learning to look at the world through a nomad’s eyes. The only problem was I couldn’t ride a horse. I set off and within five days my world had come crashing down. The horses were stolen. Life on the Steppe without a horse is like being on the ocean without a yacht. You’re really in trouble. I kind of miraculously found them. And the guys who had my horses, they said, “Well you must have tied them really badly. They came to me themselves”. But they taught me a very valuable lesson. And there’s this Mongol saying that “If you have to rush in life, rush slowly”. Why are you rushing? Why are you trying to leave this place? You’re just cursing yourself. And that was the turning point for me in this trip. Just to let go my plans; to accept that humans don’t get to dictate. It’s the environment that decides when you can leave, when you can go and time’s more measured by the rise and fall of the sun, the seasons, by the availability of grass. I’d planned the journey to take eighteen months and it was three and a half

ARTUSA GIORGIA UCSC years by the time I’d arrived on the Danube. By that stage I couldn’t live without horses. And there’s no turning back after a journey like that....
