Motherboard's survey of 100+ experts regarding the future with Mitchell Joachim, Terreform ONE

Motherboard/ Vice by Becky Ferreira
We Asked 105 Experts What Scares and Inspires Them Most About the Future. 
Climate change, extremism, and artificial intelligence were among the top fears, and young people, technology, and equality were among the top hopes.

Mitchell Joachim, associate professor of practice at New York University and co-founder of Terreform ONE:

Fear: Species extinction, at the rate of one organism per every five minutes. Most of this is because of human activity and overdevelopment. As an architect and urban designer, I feel responsible for this travesty. We need to stop extinction by all means necessary. 

Hope: Humankind created most of this problem and therefore humankind has the power to stop it.

Ambiguous Territory at Pratt Manhattan Gallery with Terreform ONE

Ambiguous Territory: Architecture, Landscape, and the Postnatural:
This exhibition assembles over forty contemporary architects, artists, and landscape architects whose work challenges the division between the built and the natural environment. In the Anthropocene epoch, humans have been fundamentally displaced from a place of privilege, philosophically as well as experientially. Western civilization’s traditional distinctions between nature and culture have eroded. Ambiguous Territory asks, can art and design avail new ways to approach contemporary challenges regarding the environment? What new worlds, and what new concepts of nature and culture can art and design reveal that other modes of inquiry and knowledge cannot?

Anti-Extinction Instrument, Terreform ONE

Terreform ONE, Mitchell Joachim, Georine Pierre.

Anti-Extinction Instrument

Approximately every seven minutes our world is suffering the loss of an entire species. This far exceeds the natural rate of extinction associated with evolution. Although species loss is a biological phenomenon, it occurs at an organic background frequency of about one to five species in a given year. Scientific researchers think we are now losing species at 1,000 to 10,000 times the natural background level, with objectively dozens going extinct every day. According to the WWF since the 1970s over 50% of known organisms on this planet have disappeared permanently. Contrasting the mass extinction occurrences of geological time, the present-day extinction difficulty is one for which a singular species - humankind - appears to be almost entirely accountable. Modern causes of extinction are arguably well known and can be reversed. Although reversal of this extinction event requires new leadership, stringent government regulations, global sustainable practices, and equitable businesses models to move society forward. Some of the primary causes of species loss are habitat fragmentation, industrial agriculture, human over-population, rampant deforestation, and poaching. Our Anti-Extinction Instrument is an enormously sized architectural provocation to ward off these festering problems. The sheer scope of the instrument reflects the colossal scale of the problem. The design is roughly similar to ten or more NASA Kennedy Space Center crawler-transporters/ rocket lunch pads. The tracked pads are daisy chained together in sections and move as one composite unit. Each one of these ten pad sections is 130 ft. in length, 114 ft. in width and weighs over 6,000,000 lbs. It gradually moves across landfills (or similar devastated territory) and regenerates the land underneath into productive green elements. Think of it as a kind of goliath self-sufficient iRobot Roomba vacuum. Instead of just extracting waste it upcycles and processes the unearthed resources onboard. After the various material nutrients are successfully filtered and restored the instrument continually replants them in its wake. It leaves behind a complex trail of transformed waste components such as; wind turbines, solar panels, algae farms, geothermal wells, reconstituted wetlands, fresh waterways, forested ribbons, woodland patches, wildlife corridors, permaculture zones and more. On top of the whole deployable device is a literal village of green manufacturing facilities. We imagined the Anti-Extinction Instrument to be an ultra-healthy land printer powered by a matrix of natural resources. The conclusive step of the land printing process is the celebrated finishing/ rewilding phase. After the land is regenerated it is populated with all kinds of locally adapted living creatures. Remote controlled stewards carefully place insects, fish, reptiles, birds, and various mammals and etc. into the freshly primed territory.

Center for Architecture - COLLAPSE: CLIMATE, CITIES & CULTURE Panel

Center for Architecture - Panel Talk

Global Design NYU (GDNYU) formed COLLAPSE: CLIMATE, CITIES and CULTURE, a traveling international exhibition between New York and Berlin that focuses on the design community’s response to environmental extremes. The participants used architectural models, design prototypes, drawings, and videos to propose future scenarios to improve the health and well-being of our fragile planet and all of its occupants. We will hold a panel discussion in reference to the exhibit with Alejandro Zaera-Polo, Maider Llaguno-Munitxa, Mark Foster Gage, Julia Watson, Ioanna Theocharopoulou, Peder Anker, Louise Harpman, and Mitchell Joachim.

Transforming the DNA of the Built Environment w/ Mitchell Joachim Terreform ONE

Transforming the DNA of the Built Environment is a two-part meeting held in the Spring and Fall of 2018 to kick off a collaboration between The Center for Ecosystems in Architecture at Yale (CEA) and New Lab. In Spring 2018, we will meet to discuss new strategies for linking systems for energy, water, air, food, and material life cycles through the mission of emergency housing, which will be the subject of a 36-month research, development, and demonstration project. In Fall 2018, we will meet to tackle the innovative ways in which new DNA for materials, devices, and integrated systems could lead to fundamentally different infrastructural models for distributing resources at the urban and district scales.
