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;

NEAR Conference at Pratt

NEAR (Network for Emerging Architectural Research)

The Network for Emerging Architectural Research is a new research initiative in Graduate Architecture and Urban Design (GAUD) at The Pratt Institute School of Architecture. Intended to be an entirely new platform for experimentation in architecture and urban design, NEAR seeks to expand beyond the traditional limitations of academic research and establish a space for experimentation and development in-between academia, industries, and public institutions. Commensurate with the complexities of the 21st century, the goal of NEAR is to reach across disciplines to extend architectural knowledge and its modes of practice.

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."
