Ifite ikinamico rya sinema, Aga ifite imiryango umunani, igisenge cy'uruhu, ijisho rifite impande za zahabu, umuriro ufunguye, na ecran za televiziyo zamenetse ku nkuta. Abanditsi bacu basura iki gihangange kiri ku nkengero nziza z'ikiyaga cya Awe.
Hari umugoroba w'izuba ku nkengero nziza za Loch Awe, mu misozi miremire ya Ecosse, maze ikintu cyarabagiranaga inyuma y'ibiti. Mu muhanda w'igitaka urimo imiyoboro, unyuze kuri hegitari z'ibiti bya pinusi bitoshye, twageze ahantu hadatuwe aho amatsinda y'ibirundo by'ibijumba byakuwe mu butaka nk'ibitare by'amabuye, birabagirana mu mucyo n'impande zabyo zigoye, nk'aho byakozwe mu mabuye y'agaciro ya kristu.
“Itwikiriwe na televiziyo zangiritse,” uyu ni Merrickel, umwubatsi w’imwe mu ngoro zidasanzwe zubatswe i Argyll kuva mu myaka ya 1600. “Twatekereje gukoresha impapuro z’icyatsi kibisi kugira ngo inyubako isa n’umugabo wo mu cyaro wambaye tweed ahagaze ku musozi. Ariko twaje kumenya ukuntu umukiriya wacu yanga televiziyo cyane, bityo iyi nyandiko isa n’aho ari nziza kuri we.”
Urebye kure, isa n'akabuye gato, cyangwa Harlem, nk'uko bayita hano. Ariko iyo wegereye iki kintu cy'umukara cyijimye, inkuta zacyo zitwikiriwe n'ibirahure binini byasubiwemo mu bikoresho bya kera bya cathode ray tube. Bisa nkaho byacukuwe mu cyambu cy'ubutaka cya e-waste, ikirundo cy'agaciro cyo mu gihe cya Anthropocene.
Iyi ni imwe mu nkuru nyinshi zitangaje z’inzu ifite ubuso bwa metero kare 650, yakozwe nk'igitabo cy’ubuzima bw’abakiriya David na Margaret, bayobora umuryango w’abana batandatu n’abuzukuru batandatu. Umujyanama mu by’imari David, wanyeretse ibyumba birindwi byo kuraramo, kimwe muri byo kikaba cyari cyarakozwe nk'icyumba cy’abuzukuru gifite ibitanda umunani by’uburiri. “Ariko tubyuzuza buri gihe.”
Kimwe n'inyubako nyinshi, byatwaye igihe kinini kubaka. Aba bombi, bari bamaze imyaka myinshi batuye mu mudugudu wa Quarier hafi ya Glasgow, baguze ikibanza gifite ubuso bwa ha 40 (hegitari 100) mu 2007 ku mafaranga 250.000 by'amapawundi nyuma yo kugibona ku nyongera y'ubutaka mu kinyamakuru cyo muri ako gace. Ubu butaka bwahoze ari Komisiyo y'Amashyamba bemerewe kubaka inzu. Kerr yagize ati: “Baje bampa ifoto y'ingoro nziza. Bifuzaga inzu ifite ubuso bwa metero kare 12.000 ifite icyumba kinini cyo munsi y'ibirori n'icyumba cyo kubaka igiti cya Noheli gifite metero 18. Cyagombaga kuba gifite ingano imwe.”
Inzu ya Kerr, Denizen Works, si yo ya mbere ushakisha inzu y’umutware mushya. Ariko yasabwe n’inshuti ze ebyiri, zishingiye ku nzu igezweho yakoreye ababyeyi be ku kirwa cya Tire muri Hebrides. Uruhererekane rw’ibyumba by’ubururu byubatswe ku matongo y’umurima byatsindiye igihembo cya Grand Designs Home of the Year mu 2014. Kerr yagize ati: “Twatangiye tuvuga ku mateka y’ubwubatsi bwa Ecosse, kuva ku nzu z’amabuye yumye n’iminara yo kwirwanaho kugeza kuri Baron Pyle na Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Nyuma y’imyaka umunani babonye inzu idahuje cyane, igice cy’ingano, nta nzu yo munsi y’ubutaka.”
Ni ukugera mu buryo butunguranye, ariko inyubako igaragaza umwuka ukomeye wo mu misozi umeze nk'aho uri kumwe n'aho hantu. Ihagaze ku kiyaga ifite umwanya ukomeye wo kwirwanaho, nk'igihome gikomeye, nk'aho yiteguye kwirukana umuryango w'abagizi ba nabi. Uhereye iburengerazuba, urashobora kubona ijwi ry'umunara, mu ishusho y'umunara ukomeye wa metero 10 (bitandukanye n'ubwenge busanzwe, wambitswe icyumba cya sinema), n'ibindi byinshi mu miyoboro y'amadirishya n'udukingirizo twinshi. Hari amashusho menshi y'ingoro ku nkuta.
Igice cy'imbere cy'icyuho, cyaciwe neza n'icyuma gikata icyuma, kigaragazwa n'uduce duto tw'ibirahuri, nk'aho bigaragara ko imbere horoheje. Nubwo cyubatswe mu giti cyakozwe mbere hanyuma kigapfundikirwa mu duce twa sima, Kerr avuga ko imiterere yacyo "yakozwe mu giti gikomeye", avuga ku muhanzi wo muri Basque witwa Eduardo Chillida, ufite ibishushanyo bya marimari bya cubic, bigize ibice byashushanyije, byatanze igitekerezo. Igaragara mu majyepfo, inzu ni inzu ntoya iherereye mu busitani, ifite ibyumba byo kuraramo byegeranye n'uruhande rw'iburyo, aho hari ibiraro by'urubingo cyangwa ibiyaga bito byo kuyungurura amazi mabi mu bigega by'amazi mabi.
Inyubako imukikije neza cyane, ariko bamwe baracyinuba. Ubwo ishusho ye yasohorwaga bwa mbere mu bitangazamakuru byo mu gace, abasomyi ntibigeze bareka kuyireba. Umwe muri bo yaranditse ati: “Bisa n'umuswa. Biratangaje kandi biragoye.” Undi yagize ati: “Byose bisa n'urukuta rwa Atalantika mu 1944.” Umwe muri bo yanditse ku itsinda rya Facebook ryo muri ako gace ati: “Nshyigikiye ubwubatsi bugezweho, ariko bisa n'ikintu umwana wanjye muto yakoze muri Minecraft.”
Cole ntiyatinyutse. Yagize ati: “Byateje impaka zikomeye, ni ikintu cyiza,” yongeraho ko inzu ya Tyree yabanje kugira imyitwarire nk’iyo. David yemeranya na we ati: “Ntabwo twayiteguye kugira ngo dutangaze abandi bantu. Ibi nibyo twifuzaga.”
Uburyohe bwabo ni bumwe rwose, nk'uko bigaragara imbere. Uretse kwanga televiziyo, aba bombi basuzuguraga igikoni cyuzuye ibikoresho. Mu gikoni kinini, nta kindi uretse Aga nini y'inzugi umunani ifatanye n'inkuta z'icyuma gishyushye, aho kubika ibintu, n'akabati k'ibiribwa gakozwe mu ifeza. Ibintu bikora - sinki, amasahani yoza amasahani, sideboard - bifungiye mu gikoni gito ku ruhande rumwe, kandi firigo ifite firigo iri mu cyumba cy'ibikoresho ku rundi ruhande rw'inzu. Nibura, amata yo kunywa ikawa ni ingirakamaro mu kubara intambwe.
Hagati mu nzu hari icyumba kinini cyo hagati gifite uburebure bwa metero esheshatu. Iki ni icyumba cy’imikino gifite inkuta zuzuyemo amadirishya adasobanutse neza atanga ibitekerezo bivuye kuri platifomu iri hejuru, harimo n’inyuguti ntoya ingano y’umwana. David yagize ati: “Abana bakunda kwiruka,” yongeraho ko ingazi ebyiri z’inzu zikora nk’uruziga.
Muri make, impamvu nyamukuru ituma icyumba ari kinini ni ukugira ngo igiti kinini cya Noheli gicibwa mu ishyamba buri mwaka kigashyirwa mu muyoboro uri hasi (hafi hazaba hatwikiriwe n'igipfundikizo cy'umwobo w'umuringa). Imyenge izengurutse iri mu gisenge, iriho ibibabi bya zahabu, ituma icyumba kinini gishyuha, mu gihe inkuta zitwikiriwe n'uduti tw'ubutaka tuvanze n'uduti twa mica ya zahabu kugira ngo bibe bibengerana cyane.
Ubutaka bwa sima bukozwe mu ibara ry'umukara burimo uduce duto tw'indorerwamo, ndetse no mu minsi y'igihu, buzana urumuri rw'inkuta zo hanze imbere. Ni intangiriro nziza y'icyumba cyiza cyane kitarasubirwamo: ahantu ho gusiga whisky, akabari gapfundikiye gatwikiriwe neza gatwikiriwe n'umuringa wahiye. David agira ati: “Rosebank ni yo nkunda cyane,” yerekeza ku ruganda rw'ibinyobwa rwafunzwe mu 1993 (nubwo ruzafungurwa umwaka utaha). “Ikinshishikaje ni uko kuri buri icupa nnywa, hari icupa rimwe rito ku isi.”
Uburyohe bw'aba bombi bugera no ku bikoresho byo mu nzu. Bimwe muri ibyo byumba byakozwe mu buryo bwihariye bishingiye ku bihangano byashyizweho na Southern Guild, inzu y'ubugeni iherereye i Cape Town, muri Afurika y'Epfo. Urugero, icyumba cyo kuriramo kirekire gifite imigozi cyagombaga guhuzwa n'ameza y'icyuma yirabura ya metero enye areba ikiyaga. Kimurikirwa n'umukara n'ikijuju mwiza ufite ibyuma birebire byimukanwa, byibutsa inkota cyangwa amahembe, biboneka mu byumba by'ingoro y'icyubahiro.
Mu buryo nk'ubwo, icyumba cyo kubamo cyakozwe gikikije sofa nini y'uruhu ifite ishusho ya L ireba atari televiziyo ahubwo ireba umuriro munini ufunguye, umwe muri ine iri mu nzu. Hari ikindi gicanwa gihari hanze, gituma habaho akazu keza ku ibaraza ryo hasi, gafite igicucu gito kugira ngo ubashe gushyuha ureba ikirere "cyumye" kiva mu kiyaga.
Ubwogero bukomeza insanganyamatsiko y'umuringa uhanaguwe neza, harimo n'ubwogero bubiri buri iruhande rw'ubundi - ni urukundo ariko cyane cyane bukundwa n'abuzukuru bakunda gukina bareba ishusho yabo ku gisenge cy'umuringa cy'indorerwamo. Hariho byinshi byerekana ubuzima bw'umuntu mu myanya mito yo kwicara mu nzu, ikozwe mu ruhu rw'umuhengeri ruturuka mu ruganda rwa Muirhead (rutanga uruhu mu Nteko Ishinga Amategeko na Concord).
Urushundura rugera no ku gisenge cy’isomero, aho ibitabo birimo igitabo cya Donald Trump cyitwa How to Get Rich na Winnie the Pooh’s Return to the Hundred Acre Wood, cyitiriwe iyo nyubako. Ariko byose si uko bigaragara. Binyuze ku gice cy’imbere cy’igitabo, mu kanya gatunguranye k’inkuru ya Scooby-Doo, agasanduku kose k’ibitabo karahindukira, kagaragaza akabati kari inyuma yako.
Mu buryo bumwe, ibi bikubiyemo muri make umushinga wose: inzu ni ishusho yihariye y'umukiriya, ihindura uburemere bw'uburebure bw'inyuma kandi ihisha ibyishimo, ubusembwa n'ibibi imbere. Gerageza kutayoba mu nzira ujya muri firigo.
