Dwell Magazine, The Now 99 - Mitchell Joachim

What was the first formative design object you experienced?
The lightsaber. I was thinking about a future where a company like Dewalt was producing lightsabers for the construction world. You could go up to a rock or a bunch of dirt and carve out your dwelling that way. — Mitchell Joachim, Co-President of Terreform ONE

Envisioning Ecological Cities lecture

Envisioning Ecological Cities: The Sci-Fi Based Solution to Climate Change

How should urban design foresee new instrumentalist technologies for cities? Elevator systems have had incredible success in the creation of compact and greener cities, but can you imagine what the advent of the jet pack will do? Join us as Mitchell Joachim, Ph.D. from Terreform ONE discusses how urban design will successfully situate itself by the production of future macro-scaled scenarios predicated on innovative devices.
