Reinvent Adaptive Cities with Alex Steffen, Mitchell Joachim and more

Alex Steffen thinks cities of today are incredibly brittle, and they need to quickly become much more adaptable. All the core infrastructures of cities were built before before anyone heard of global warming but now we face new challenges ranging from floods to droughts. Steffen has some big ideas about what cities can start doing now to "ruggedize" and be ready for our more volatile future. We've got a terrific lineup in the roundtable to help him figure all out. Watch Now →

NYU, Institute for Public Knowledge and Marron Institute lecture


This Public Forum will address Infrastructure. Changes in climate an an increase in extreme weather events demand that we reimagine our cities, and the infrastructure that makes them inhabitable, efficient, and desirable places to live. The vast majority of large cities are on coastal waterways that will be directly impacted by rising sea levels--what challenges and opportunities does this offer planners, architects, engineers, and communities? How can we rethink the way energy is distributed and used? What forms of transit are viable? And how should we organize our supply chains for food and other goods?
Mitchell Joachim, Constantine E. Kontokosta, Rae Zimmerman, Harvey Molotch

Terreform in Brooklyn Paper

Think tank proposes creating wetlands with scrapped ships
BY ELI ROSENBERG
The Brooklyn Paper
"A futuristic design firm wants to bring Navy ships back to Brooklyn to save the borough from the next natural disaster — but first it wants to sink them."
"Mitchell Joachim and his team of mad designists at the Navy Yard’s architectural think-tank Terreform ONE have come up with an otherworldly plan to break down old US warships and submerge the parts to create a man-made wetland in the Buttermilk Channel that the team says could protect Brooklynites from future deluges."
