Terreform Company Profile in Google Think Quarterly

Innovation Spaces Terreform ONE is a non-profit design group that promotes green design in cities. It is based in Brooklyn, New York. At Terreform ONE we need ‘messy’ spaces to create a massive outpouring of projects and models. We have a collection of materials and artifacts found throughout the city of New York that add to the environment. These seemingly random objects are essential to helping us formulate complex morphologies into tangible suppositions. Design is seeing new qualities in everyday objects. We surround ourselves with these seemingly random items to be inspired just so. Our working studio is similar to the toymaker’s shop in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner – a physical narrative of possibilities ready to be animated. -- Mitchell Joachim, Co-founder
