The Organic City: Urbanism Redefined
Mitchell Joachim inspires us to rethink our approach to urban environments by pointing to mind-bending technologies that are already transforming the way we live. When the elevator was introduced, the nature of buildings changed. The same shift occurred for cities built in response to widespread car traffic. Today, Joachim is working on the next big shift. It could be an intelligent "soft" car that networks with a city grid. It might involve grafting living cells into green residences that can reverse the last 150 years of inefficient living. Joachim envisions a future in which biology and architecture are a single discipline--and shares the ground-breaking work and disruptive ideas that will make that future a reality.
