Μίτσελ Τζόακιμ: Μην χτίσετε το σπίτι σας, καλλιεργήστε το!

About this talk

Ο οπαδός του TED και αστικός σχεδιαστής Μίτσελ Τζόακιμ παρουσιάζει το όραμά του για βιώσιμη, οργανική αρχιτεκτονική: οικολογικά οικήματα καλλιεργημένα από φυτά και - ακούστε - κρέας.

Soft cars, jet packs and houses made of meat are all in a day's work for urban designer, architect and TED Fellow Mitchell Joachim.

Why you should listen to him:

Mitchell Joachim is a leader in ecological design and urbanism. He is a co-founder of Terreform ONE and Terrefuge, and is on the faculty at Columbia University and Parsons. Formerly he was an architect at Gehry Partners and Pei Cobb Freed, and he has been awarded the Moshe Safdie Research Fellowship.
Joachim won the History Channel and Infiniti Design Excellence Award for the City of the Future, and Time Magazine's "Best Invention of the Year 2007" for his Compacted Car with MIT's Smart Cities. His project, Fab Tree Hab, has been exhibited at MoMA and widely published. He was chosen by Wired for "The 2008 Smart List: 15 People the Next President Should Listen To."

"The ideas that we proffer are based on off-the-shelf existing technologies. We just change the solution-bases and do things that aren't necessarily as obvious. We don't have a problem with thinking about science fiction -- in fact we actually embrace it."
