Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.88,0:02:40.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I think that's really radical.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.18,0:02:43.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[ZITTEL] Okay, so the new problem
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.58,0:02:48.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that the paper gets stuck under the letters.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.16,0:02:54.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm so drawn to the frontier mentality
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.39,0:02:58.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that idea of having to figure everything\Nout from scratch.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.02,0:03:13.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, it was always the same person visiting\Neach wagon station,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.18,0:03:15.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they would customize them.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.75,0:03:18.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In those instances, each wagon station was\Nautonomous
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.74,0:03:21.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it would have its own camp stove within\Nit.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.48,0:03:24.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, at a point, we extracted those
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.60,0:03:28.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because they were starting to fall apart in\Nthe elements.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.33,0:03:31.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they've sort of traveled to exhibitions\Nsince then.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.89,0:03:35.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like, they're all sort of the standard version,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.57,0:03:36.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like, the way I designed them.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.95,0:03:40.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[WOMAN #3] There's locks on either side for\Nthis to open up.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.82,0:03:44.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, there's like little strings up there\Nto put your clothes on.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.37,0:03:46.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's also a door in the back that locks,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.74,0:03:49.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so if you need any extra air, it's just a\Nquick way out.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.23,0:03:52.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you can leave it open when you sleep.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.97,0:03:57.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, there's a shelf for everything that you\Nneed.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.65,0:03:58.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's pretty much it!

Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.22,0:04:11.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really consciously and intentionally.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.28,0:04:17.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[ZITTEL] Now, we have the communal kitchen,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.87,0:04:21.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the composting toilets.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.61,0:04:24.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is a sort of communal living situation
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.44,0:04:27.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that only works because it's a certain amount\Nof time
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.30,0:04:30.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we send people all of these protocol sheets\Nout before they come.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.85,0:04:36.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, so if you want to follow Dean and do\Nthat on every one--
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.66,0:04:37.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the double layer.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.98,0:04:42.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, if you want, you could take that, too,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.68,0:04:53.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think that the Wagon Station Encampment\Nwas sort of
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.11,0:04:58.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,slowly walking into a situation of inviting\Nother people to come be here.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.12,0:05:01.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We always say it's sort of a cross between\Na retreat and a residency

Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.06,0:05:06.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It would be redundant to create, like,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.23,0:05:34.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I always thought that was so interesting,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.05,0:05:36.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that this is the landscape that was chosen
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.93,0:05:39.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be most representative of another planet.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.94,0:05:41.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think the aesthetic of these was, sort of,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.09,0:05:46.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I don't know if that's my aesthetic now,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.44,0:05:48.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's constantly changing.
