BlackBook Magazine: TEDx Brooklyn, Dr. Mitchell Joachim

An Exploration of TedxBrooklyn, by Rozalia Jovanovic; "If TEDx Brooklyn is any example of what TEDx events are like, it’s a less-polished version that takes itself less seriously, and offers a chance for people to see talks on subjects that others are passionate about. At worst it’s failed storytelling, and at best, like with Dr. Mitchell Joachim’s presentation, it exposes the audience to what some people are doing that might affect how we live, like designing stackable cars and jetpacks. Yet, TEDxBrooklyn seemed to have stronger ties than most TEDx conferences to TED. There were celebrities in the mix of presenters—like Barbara Bush (younger), Ben Bronfman, the artist Callie Curry (aka Swoon) and DJ Spooky—which added some cache. A couple of the speakers had presented at actual TED conferences, like Dr. Mitchell Joachim and Dr. Haresh Lalvani. And the founder of TED himself—Richard Saul Wurman—was there in conversation with Kurt Anderson." "The co-founder of Terreform ONE—a leading firm in ecological design, Dr. Mitchell Joachim, gave maybe the most fascinating presentation on designing a lexicon of “smart mobility,” which included edible cars, stackable cars, and intelligent streets. His firm had also created a jet pack. “There’s a parachute in the crotch in case all hell breaks loose.”" see http://www.blackbookmag.com/article/tedxbrooklyn-elitism-worth-spreading/23504

NYTimes Blog: TEDxBrooklyn

The New York Times Blog, by COLIN WEATHERBY "Other compelling works were presented by transportation guru Dr. Mitchell Joachim of Terreform ONE design. In a rapid-fire slide show of psychedelic imagery, Dr. Joachim discussed living homes made from trained plants, jet packs for commuters and inflatable cars.

“We want cars that are so soft you can say hello to your neighbor by bumping into them,” Dr. Joachim said, “If these vehicles ran into your grandma they would tickle."”

by Dar Williams; "When I started this blog in 2010, I went straight to Google with "human powered gym new york." Uh oh. Architectural renderings of a human-powered gym. Mitchell and Douglas Joachim designed River Gym, a fleet of buoyant, transparent, human-powered gym pods on the Hudson River. Don't get me wrong. I loved it."

Storefront for Art and Architecture book launch

Storefront for Art and Architecture presents the inaugural event of our new Cabaret Series in a performative and multi-media book launch for The Studio-X NY Guide to Liberating New Forms of Conversation (GSAPP Books, 2010), edited by Gavin Browning.

In this cabaret:

DAVID BENJAMIN will telecommunicate, GAVIN BROWNING will tell a story, CRAIG BUCKLEY will surprise, MTWTF will publish, MICHELLE FORNABAI will paint, EVA FRANCH will emcee, LARISSA HARRIS & DAMON RICH will conspire, MITCHELL JOACHIM & IOANNA THEOCHAROPOULOU will narrate, JANETTE KIM will count, MITCH MCEWEN will rap, DANIEL PERLIN will make noise, SARAH WILLIAMS will visualize, MIMI ZEIGER will formulate, and MARK WIGLEY will wrap things up.

About the book: Studio-X New York is one node of a global network that includes like-minded event/work spaces in Beijing, Mumbai and Rio de Janeiro. But that wasn't always the case. In the beginning, this lone "pilot" Studio-X-unadvertised and largely invisible to the public, tucked away behind an unmarked door on the 16th floor of a nondescript office building in Lower Manhattan-needed an infrastructure, identity, audience, and a set of tools to make it work. These are the instructions.

Featuring: Moshe Adler, Bathroom Keys, Barry Bergdoll, David Cay Johnston, Chairs, Charette, Jean-Louis Cohen, Design Glut, Yevgeniy Fiks, File Cabinets, Karen Finley, Lars Fischer, Laura Flanders, Folding Wall, Michelle Fornabai, Free Speech Zone, Cristina Goberna, Group Therapy, Interboro, Mitchell Joachim, Olympia Kazi, Vitaly Komar, Reinhold Martin, Michael Mandiberg, Jürgen Mayer H., Mitch McEwen, Jonas Mekas, New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, Neighborhood Watch, Network Architecture Lab, Jorge Otero-Pailos, Daniel Perlin, Joshua Prince-Ramus, Rapid Response, Reading Group, David Reinfurt, Damon Rich, Sukhdev Sandhu, Raja Shehadeh, Mark Shepard, Simulcast, Brooke Singer, Sink, Spatial Information Design Lab, Situ Studio, Tables, Astra Taylor, Ioanna Theocharopoulou, Suzanne Tick, Track Lighting, Town Hall Meeting, Urban Landscape Lab, Warm Engine, Cathy Wilkerson, Mabel Wilson, Mimi Zeiger, and more.

PICNIC is about innovative ideas for business and society. It is an annual three-day festival that blurs the lines between creativity, science, technology and business to explore new solutions in the spirit of co-creation. Curious minds eager to exchange their knowledge, ideas and skills gather at PICNIC, making it the place to create the future – together.

Contemporary Digital Architecture: Terreform ONE

Contemporary Digital Architecture: Design and Techniques, Dimitris Kottas

This book presents the latest developments in the field of architecture as it has been reshaped by the use of digital technologies. The last few years, technological developments in both hardware and software have enabled the realization of ideas that until now were only presented as theories, and have also opened new and unexpected areas of experimentation. The new digital technologies are influencing every stage of the creative process from the initial exploration of ideas to the construction of the final work and its interaction with the user. These developments are presented in four chapters, each one including detailed presentation of the most important relevant projects and general theoretical-technical information.

Czech Center launches new public art

The Czech Center will prepare a series of exhibitions by contemporary Czech and international artists that will be presented on the windows of the building at 1109-1111 on Madison Avenue where the permanent mission of the Czech Republic to the UN in New York is located. The aim of the project is to address the broad public that walks by on this luxurious avenue and to use this space for a dialogue of artists with the public.

We hope that the WINDOWS ON MADISON will offer a space for contacts and exchanges between Czech and American art communities and become another attraction on the Museum Mile.

Terreform ONE

The first project poses the question “What is the future of the future? ” and confronts passersby with the statement “Yesterday we dreamt about the future, today the future dreams about us”.

The project originated in collaboration between the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague, which recently organized the exhibition The Future of the Future, and the New York group of architects, designers and scientists called Terreform One. Two windows on Madison Ave. display Terreform’s designs for future means of transportation in New York City and other big cities, such as the SOFT Jetpack and the SOFT Blimp Bumper Bus.

Lecture at Lawrence Tech

The Prague Post: Viewing the present through the future

Prague Post, by Caroline Korsawe

DOX exhibition is part of an international art trend that is looking ahead.

"Joachim embraces the future by specializing in dreaming up environmentally sustainable cities. He is part of Terreform ONE, a nonprofit group specializing in such themes.

With the majority of the world's population now living in cities, Joachim believes it is important to understand the consequences human civilization has on the world's ecosystems. He designed a future model of Brooklyn for the DOX exhibition."

Panel Presentation - Making a U Turn: Steering Away from Planetary Limits at the 2010 Aspen Environment Forum Sponsored by National Geographic and The Aspen Institute. Mitchell Joachim, Associate Professor, NYU Dennis Dimick, Executive Editor for the Environment, National Geographic Magazine Geoff Dabelko, Director, Environmental Change and Security Program, Woodrow Wilson Center Jon Foley, Director, Institute on the Environment (IonE), University of Minnesota Eric Sundquist, Research Geologist, US Geological Survey A recent Stockholm University study on biophysical “planetary boundaries” by 28 scientists posits that the planet’s capacity to recover from human-induced shocks already has been pushed into dangerous territory in several key areas, including biodiversity loss and nitrogen pollution. What does this study tell us about sustainably managing our demands on earth, and how effectively can its insights guide us away from danger zones? Even with the knowledge in hand do we have the will to avoid calamity? http://www.aspenenvironment.org/speakers/bio/83/294/mitchell-joachim

THE FUTURE OF THE FUTURE Terreform ONE, Mitchell Joachim: The future is not what it used to be. While this saying has already entered popular culture, its implications began to dawn on us only recently. The notion of "future" was central to Modernism, but in the late 20th century it ceased to be the driver of the Western world. In recent decades, questions of the past, of memory and identity, instead emerged as dominant in our society. http://www.doxprague.org/en/exhibition?38/about
