Quotes from the Boat - Urban Escape!

Following up on the short interview on the Urban Escape boat, Mitchell Joachim and Oliver Medvedik presented their work in the Crystal Palace. They are looking into ways of growing organic building materials. The technique they use is actually fairly simple in principle. Using a scaffolding of any shape, an organic material is forced to grow ...

The Brooklyn Paper

By Kate Briquelet, published 8.25.2011

Curved buildings with mushroom roofs! Giant 3D printers spewing out ships! Swarms of high-tech workers making electric cars!  It’s all part of “Super Dock,” a futuristic science park designed by radical eco-architects Mitchell Joachim, Maria Aiolova and Nurhan Gokturk of Planetary One, an urban design firm on Flatbush Avenue.  “There are no walls,” Joachim said. “We’re merging architecture and land into the water. The entire area becomes a ballast for Brooklyn, so it can absorb water, clean it and filter it back into New York.”  Joachim believes that the 12-by-8-foot prototype is not too ahead of its time.

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

CREATUREAMA: ArchiBots of Styrofoam Refuse

The workshop of Terreform ONE for the Architektursommer Rhein-Main 2011 rethinks and up-cycles what the city of Darmstadt throws away permanently. They produce tons of urban e-waste on a daily basis.  A large portion of this waste is the packing material itself.  Terreform uses these discarded elements to architecturally sketch figures and follies. By structurally joining the packing material we bring a kind of eerie creature to fruition.  Each object is intended to communicate appropriate information about the energy and ecological balance of an urban site by additional light color coding.

Das Projekt von Terreform lenkt den Blick auf das, was wir permanent wegwerfen. Täglich produzieren wir Tonnen von Abfall und sind dabei selbst in der Lage Einfluss auf diese Entwicklung zu nehmen. Terreform One baut daraus Figuren und Elemente. Die Zusammenfügung der Verpackungen bringt vertraute, aber auch gespenstische Kreaturen hervor, die mit entsprechender Farbgebung und Codierung Informationen über die Energie- und Ökobilanz des Ortes mitteilen sollen.

Review of GLOBAL Design NYU

It happened suddenly, as if out of nowhere: NYU’s Gallatin opened Global Design/Elsewhere Envisioned, an exhibition that comes with two symposia, is described as an initiative, and just might morph someday into a new school of architecture.

Integrating Sound Management: Engaging Civil Society in Sustainability
Commission on Sustainable Development 19, panel, United Nations Headquarters, NYC.
Much was achieved at Rio in 1992.  Agenda 21, adopted there, remains as visionary today as it was then, and local authorities and civil society in almost every part of the world have been working to implement it.  In this interactive forum we will focus on the themes of eco-effectiveness and knowledge sharing systems as a roadmap to good policy and implementation strategies. Considering opportunities for innovation, integrated management, and the development of effective systems of learning integrated with civil society, the panelists will share their views on how their work contributes to strengthening our capacity to act.

New Museum of Mycelium

Projection on New Museum for the The Festival of Ideas for the New City and Mycoform structure grown from strains of fugi into a specific 3D fabricated geometry.
The main objective of Mycoform is to establish a smart, self-sufficient, perpetual-motion construction technology. By combining fungal mycelia with varying types of organic substrates and carefully controlling their expansion within prefabricated molds, we will create the literal growth of structural materials. The Mycoform is grown from biological materials. The process is pollution free, and has the potential to contain a low embodied energy as part of a local ecosystem. The polypore fugal species Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi), possesses enzymes that readily digest a wide variety of cellulose based organic byproducts. The rapid growth of branching mycelia results in a dense matrix capable of structural support. The New Museum model was grown in a period of 10 days in incubator starting with a mixture of oak pellet fuel, wheat bran, gypsum, and hydrogen peroxide resulting in a dense mycelium structure.

Dr. Joachim & Maria Aiolova will show this project and more at;
