Mitchell Joachim on TED Talks
What do you think of this TED talk by Mitchell Joachim and his discussion about growing homes? The strategy he proposes for creating “green villages”, pleaching – which is where vegetation is fused together to then create desired geometries – makes an architecture that is the landscape. We could potentially “pre-grow” a community, as Joachim puts it, providing homes for millions of people that instead of harming the environment, will just eliminate carbon from the air. Things get even more interesting when Joachim shares how his own studio is growing extracellular matrix from pigs, and can print geometries to make objects. Check out his new wall section idea for a meat house which replaces standard wall construction with fatty cells for insulation and cilia for tackling wind loads. Joachim is doing some interesting things in his studio and we want to know what you think of his ideas.
All I could say is that this guy is really something else! The sphincter house! Brilliant! I wish I could see the wise and thoughtfull faces of other NYU faculty at the presntation! Mitch, you are my hero! Shake them for all they got! I’m rooting for a tenure, with the sphincter house as a mascot for NYU!
Desire to go green is getting more and more crazy…
Oh, I don’t think that this is crazy whatsoever. This is what we all should be doing instead of crunching the futile brownie points on LEED! Think about it…Mitch really has got a pulse on the green.
Oh my god his talk was fantastic when he visited my school; entertaining, yet thought provoking.
His ideas are so exaggerated, but they present such radical change.

Dreadlocks are always hit or miss. The people that have them are either creative geniuses or lame stoners. Example: http://bit.ly/ae37CP
