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.

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
