Future Shock: Escape the Urban Jungle

Published Feb. 08, 2011 By Rod James on designbuild-network.com
"...Forceful views such as this make Joachim, co-founder of urban design group Terreform ONE, not only one of the most influential thinkers in his field but also a journalist's dream. An associate professor at NYU and senior fellow of the TED organization, Joachim has done more than anyone to highlight the need for a radical rethink of the way architects and urban planners approach their trade. This desire for change is motivated by a demographic force that is becoming too strong to ignore."

Urbaneering Brooklyn NY 2110 - The Sci-Fi-Based Solution to Climate Change

An intensified version of an autarchic Brroklyn supplies all vital needs for its population. Dilapidated structures are replaced with vertical agriculture and housing merged with infrastructure. Visionary operations are not just about a comprehensive model of tomorrow's city, but an initial platform for discourse..  Author: Joachim, Mitchell

Terreform ONE in New York Times

On Flatbush Avenue, Seven Stories Chock-Full of Ideas, by Jed Lipinski, Photos Benjamin Norman  Published NYTimes: January 11, 2011.

 "Mitchell Joachim, an ecological architect and one of three TED fellows (for technology, entertainment and design)on the floor, likens the Metropolitan Exchange to a modern-day version of Bauhaus, the German design school. “People here have enormous credentials and potential to succeed,” Mr. Joachim said. “Plus the rent is ridiculously cheap.”  Mr. Joachim’s nonprofit design collective, Terreform One, promotes green initiatives in cities. Its conceptual projects are on display, including One-Day Tower, a model of a 53-story building built from all the trash produced by New York City in 24 hours."

BlackBook Magazine: TEDx Brooklyn, Dr. Mitchell Joachim

An Exploration of TedxBrooklyn, by Rozalia Jovanovic; "If TEDx Brooklyn is any example of what TEDx events are like, it’s a less-polished version that takes itself less seriously, and offers a chance for people to see talks on subjects that others are passionate about. At worst it’s failed storytelling, and at best, like with Dr. Mitchell Joachim’s presentation, it exposes the audience to what some people are doing that might affect how we live, like designing stackable cars and jetpacks. Yet, TEDxBrooklyn seemed to have stronger ties than most TEDx conferences to TED. There were celebrities in the mix of presenters—like Barbara Bush (younger), Ben Bronfman, the artist Callie Curry (aka Swoon) and DJ Spooky—which added some cache. A couple of the speakers had presented at actual TED conferences, like Dr. Mitchell Joachim and Dr. Haresh Lalvani. And the founder of TED himself—Richard Saul Wurman—was there in conversation with Kurt Anderson." "The co-founder of Terreform ONE—a leading firm in ecological design, Dr. Mitchell Joachim, gave maybe the most fascinating presentation on designing a lexicon of “smart mobility,” which included edible cars, stackable cars, and intelligent streets. His firm had also created a jet pack. “There’s a parachute in the crotch in case all hell breaks loose.”" see http://www.blackbookmag.com/article/tedxbrooklyn-elitism-worth-spreading/23504

In a rapid-fire slide show of psychedelic imagery, Dr. Joachim discussed living homes made from trained plants, jet packs for commuters and inflatable cars.

“We want cars that are so soft you can say hello to your neighbor by bumping into them,” Dr. Joachim said, “If these vehicles ran into your grandma they would tickle."”

Spinning The Pedal-Powered Gym,

by Dar Williams; "When I started this blog in 2010, I went straight to Google with "human powered gym new york." Uh oh. Architectural renderings of a human-powered gym. Mitchell and Douglas Joachim designed River Gym, a fleet of buoyant, transparent, human-powered gym pods on the Hudson River. Don't get me wrong. I loved it."

Storefront for Art and Architecture book launch

Storefront for Art and Architecture presents the inaugural event of our new Cabaret Series in a performative and multi-media book launch for The Studio-X NY Guide to Liberating New Forms of Conversation (GSAPP Books, 2010), edited by Gavin Browning.

In this cabaret:

DAVID BENJAMIN will telecommunicate, GAVIN BROWNING will tell a story, CRAIG BUCKLEY will surprise, MTWTF will publish, MICHELLE FORNABAI will paint, EVA FRANCH will emcee, LARISSA HARRIS & DAMON RICH will conspire, MITCHELL JOACHIM & IOANNA THEOCHAROPOULOU will narrate, JANETTE KIM will count, MITCH MCEWEN will rap, DANIEL PERLIN will make noise, SARAH WILLIAMS will visualize, MIMI ZEIGER will formulate, and MARK WIGLEY will wrap things up.

About the book: Studio-X New York is one node of a global network that includes like-minded event/work spaces in Beijing, Mumbai and Rio de Janeiro. But that wasn't always the case. In the beginning, this lone "pilot" Studio-X-unadvertised and largely invisible to the public, tucked away behind an unmarked door on the 16th floor of a nondescript office building in Lower Manhattan-needed an infrastructure, identity, audience, and a set of tools to make it work. These are the instructions.

Featuring: Moshe Adler, Bathroom Keys, Barry Bergdoll, David Cay Johnston, Chairs, Charette, Jean-Louis Cohen, Design Glut, Yevgeniy Fiks, File Cabinets, Karen Finley, Lars Fischer, Laura Flanders, Folding Wall, Michelle Fornabai, Free Speech Zone, Cristina Goberna, Group Therapy, Interboro, Mitchell Joachim, Olympia Kazi, Vitaly Komar, Reinhold Martin, Michael Mandiberg, Jürgen Mayer H., Mitch McEwen, Jonas Mekas, New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, Neighborhood Watch, Network Architecture Lab, Jorge Otero-Pailos, Daniel Perlin, Joshua Prince-Ramus, Rapid Response, Reading Group, David Reinfurt, Damon Rich, Sukhdev Sandhu, Raja Shehadeh, Mark Shepard, Simulcast, Brooke Singer, Sink, Spatial Information Design Lab, Situ Studio, Tables, Astra Taylor, Ioanna Theocharopoulou, Suzanne Tick, Track Lighting, Town Hall Meeting, Urban Landscape Lab, Warm Engine, Cathy Wilkerson, Mabel Wilson, Mimi Zeiger, and more.

Curious minds eager to exchange their knowledge, ideas and skills gather at PICNIC, making it the place to create the future – together.

Contemporary Digital Architecture: Terreform ONE

Contemporary Digital Architecture: Design and Techniques, Dimitris Kottas

This book presents the latest developments in the field of architecture as it has been reshaped by the use of digital technologies. The last few years, technological developments in both hardware and software have enabled the realization of ideas that until now were only presented as theories, and have also opened new and unexpected areas of experimentation. The new digital technologies are influencing every stage of the creative process from the initial exploration of ideas to the construction of the final work and its interaction with the user. These developments are presented in four chapters, each one including detailed presentation of the most important relevant projects and general theoretical-technical information.

Czech Center launches new public art

The Czech Center will prepare a series of exhibitions by contemporary Czech and international artists that will be presented on the windows of the building at 1109-1111 on Madison Avenue where the permanent mission of the Czech Republic to the UN in New York is located. The aim of the project is to address the broad public that walks by on this luxurious avenue and to use this space for a dialogue of artists with the public.

We hope that the WINDOWS ON MADISON will offer a space for contacts and exchanges between Czech and American art communities and become another attraction on the Museum Mile.

Terreform ONE

The first project poses the question “What is the future of the future? ” and confronts passersby with the statement “Yesterday we dreamt about the future, today the future dreams about us”.

The project originated in collaboration between the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague, which recently organized the exhibition The Future of the Future, and the New York group of architects, designers and scientists called Terreform One. Two windows on Madison Ave. display Terreform’s designs for future means of transportation in New York City and other big cities, such as the SOFT Jetpack and the SOFT Blimp Bumper Bus.
