Burning Down The House Radio

Heritage Radio Network: This week's conversation on Burning Down the House focuses on the fusion between urban design, architecture, transportation and shape of our cities. Curtis B. Wayne is joined by Mitchell Joachim and Melanie Fessel of Terreform ONE (Open Network Ecology), an Ecological Design Group for Urban Infrastructure, Building, Planning, and Art. Later on the show, the discussion shifts towards the sensitive and heated topic of licensure in architecture within their non-profit practice. This program was sponsored by White Oak Pastures


"Pedestrians are the alpha position to explore a city. The foot is the best interface." --Mitchell Joachim on Burning Down the House


"Infrastructure is not celebrated enough in the United States."
--Melanie Fessel on Burning Down the House

Vice Mag: The Living House


by Jedd Thomas & Alex Pasternack 
Imagine a future where the cities we live in are built in accordance with nature, where buildings are designed to incorporate features from ecological systems without compromising technological innovation or the quality of the environment. If it sounds like wishful thinking – or science fiction – have a look at what Mitchell Joachim is brewing at the architecture and urban think tank Terreform ONE / Planetary ONE. Based in Brooklyn, New York, it’s the first architectural office that works in tandem with a biology laboratory, uniting an ambitious group of architects, synthetic biologists, and urban planners to bring a promising vision of the city quite literally to life.
