Dwell - Three Buildings with Mitchell Joachim

Dwell Magazine; Mitchell Joachim's Foundational Buildings. In this 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.

Dwell Magazine, The Now 99 - Mitchell Joachim

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

Envisioning Ecological Cities: The Sci-Fi Based Solution to Climate Change
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.
