Mitchell Joachim (pronounced /jo-ak-um/; born February 3, 1972) is an architect and urban designer. He is the Co-Founder of Terreform ONE, and a Professor of Practice at NYU.[1] Previously he was the Frank Gehry Chair at University of Toronto[2] and a faculty member at Pratt, Columbia, Syracuse, Washington, The New School, and the European Graduate School.[3]
Most of Joachim's projects employ innovative platforms and methods based on living biological matter for fabrication and design purposes. Rather than merely drawing inspiration from nature (not biomimicry), these materials are altered, coaxed, or engineered to function in ways that stay living and breathing within the environment.
