Dr. Joachim Awarded Visiting Artist at Navy Yard
For the
first time ever the Brooklyn Navy Yard Center offers an annual program to
artists seeking to work on-site once per year. Established in 1801 as one of the United States first five naval
shipyards, the Yard has developed into the Nation’s premiere
naval industrial facility. Today, the Yard serves as a national model
for sustainable urban job creation with a rapidly growing cluster of
green manufacturers.
With the exception of the newly opened Brooklyn Navy Yard Center at
BLDG 92 and associated tours, this modern industrial park remains closed
to the public. The Visiting Artist Program has been established in
response to the tremendous interest conveyed by local, national and
international artists to get “behind the gates.”
Mitchell Joachim and Maria Aiolova have been awarded Visiting Artist status for 2012-2013.

Green Design as (Un)usual, Van Alen Institute.
Call it green design, ecodesign or sustainable design, it’s come a long way since we first started giving it names. Evolving from outlier to, arguably, mainstream, where is the field now and where is it headed? This is the closing question posed in the new book, Sustainable Design: A Critical Guide. To explore this question, Metropolis Magazine Editor-in-Chief Susan S. Szenasy will moderate a panel discussion with architect and Sustainable Design author David Bergman, Terreform ONE Co-Founder and Planetary ONE partner Mitchell Joachim, and NYC Department of Design and Construction Director of Creative Services Victoria Milne.

installment of Three
Buildings, we put our standard question—which three buildings have
changed the way you think about design—to Mitchell Joachim of Terreform ONE. Known for his
meathouses and soft cars, and this little
story in our May
2012 issue, I had no idea what he'd come back with as foundational
buildings. Read on to see what moves this fascinating architect and don't miss
him in conversation with Dwell's editor-in-chief Amanda Dameron at Dwell on Design 2012 this June
in Los
Angeles.

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
3RD Ward, Brooklyn
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.

Futuristic: Visions of Future Living
Mitchell Joachim, Maria Aiolova, Terreform ONE, Futuristic: Visions of Future Living, daab books, Editors: Caroline Klein, Prof. Dr. Stefanie Lieb
What will the world look like in a hundred years from now? If
global processes cannot be stopped, we at least have the chance to
respond to them. Cities, shooting up like mushrooms, a shortage of
resources, and climatic changes call for a new way of thinking. Time is
pressing. Fortunately, there is no lack of visionaries and pioneers of
sustainability. Futuristic presents about 50 of them: designers,
architects, artists, scientists, cooperatives, and individualists, who
are working for progress all around the globe. “We do not actually want
to conquer space, but to expand the earth into the infinite. We do not
need other worlds, but a mirror … Man needs fellow human beings.”
[Stanislav Lem, Solaris, 1972]
