Urbaneering Brooklyn NY 2110 - The Sci-Fi-Based Solution to Climate Change

An intensified version of an autarchic Brroklyn supplies all vital needs for its population. Dilapidated structures are replaced with vertical agriculture and housing merged with infrastructure. Visionary operations are not just about a comprehensive model of tomorrow's city, but an initial platform for discourse..  Author: Joachim, Mitchell

Terreform ONE in New York Times

On Flatbush Avenue, Seven Stories Chock-Full of Ideas, by Jed Lipinski, Photos Benjamin Norman  Published NYTimes: January 11, 2011.

 "Mitchell Joachim, an ecological architect and one of three TED fellows (for technology, entertainment and design)on the floor, likens the Metropolitan Exchange to a modern-day version of Bauhaus, the German design school. “People here have enormous credentials and potential to succeed,” Mr. Joachim said. “Plus the rent is ridiculously cheap.”  Mr. Joachim’s nonprofit design collective, Terreform One, promotes green initiatives in cities. Its conceptual projects are on display, including One-Day Tower, a model of a 53-story building built from all the trash produced by New York City in 24 hours."
