The research project "New York City Resource & Mobility" by Joachim's Terrefuge ONE. Source: www.zumtobel-group-award.com
Plain Green 10 keynote Mitchell Joachim was selected for the Zumtobel Group Award for Sustainability and Humanity in the Built Environment at a meeting at Roden Crater, Arizona in February. The award honors sustainable solutions in architecture and engineering that make pioneering contributions to the future quality of life. The award in the “Research & Initiative” category went to the non-profit design groupTerreform ONE, jointly founded by Mitchell Joachim and Maria Aiolova, for the research project ”New York City Resource & Mobility“, a visionary plan for New York City that converts waste to buildings and reinvents the city transit system.
From TerraForm1 blog: “The work for this on-going urban project is fundamentally based on the activist notions of self-reliance in the profound writings of Henry David Thoreau, Bill Mollison, Buckminster Fuller, and William Mcdonough.”
“This project is a rich source of interesting ideas of real substance. The research team is not afraid to think in whole new directions and presents a range of visionary potential approaches that are already acting as catalysts in the urban development debate.” – Zumtobel Jury
The winners were selected by interdisciplinary and international jury of leading architects from different parts of the world, an engineer, a representative of the UN, and the CEO of the Zumtobel Group. TerraFormONE will be awarded 60,000 Euro at an awards ceremony in September, 2010.

This year, Plain Green will open with an exciting event, a community service project, integrating hands-on learning, sustainable building concepts, and community stewardship.
The Sioux Falls Chapter of Architecture for Humanity and Sioux Falls Seminary have partnered to organize the construction of a Straw Bale Shed, April 27 and 28, before the Plain Green 10 Conference. Sioux Falls Seminary’s Summit House, located near downtown Sioux Falls in the Pettigrew Heights Neighborhood, will be the building site for the new straw bale shed. Sioux Falls Seminary students living at Summit House hope to eventually use the structure as a Tool Lending Library for the residents of the Pettigrew Heights Neighborhood for simple home maintenance and repair.
If you are interested in learning about straw bale construction, would like to help build the fi rst straw bale structure in the City of Sioux Falls, or if you would like to volunteer your time for a good cause, join the building team. Spend two days bale raising and plastering with a straw bale specialist from Nebraska, Joyce Coppinger, Managing Editor and Publisher of The Last Straw Journal.
Participants will learn sustainable construction skills with hands-on involvement while building the straw-bale shed. Space is very limited and an application is required. Though there is no fee, space is available for Plain Green attendees only. Register here today. After registering, you will be emailed an application. Team selection will be completed by April 13, 2010.
This Community Service Project is made possible by Koch Hazard Architects and Chartreuse Research, in partnership with Architecture for Humanity Sioux Falls Chapter, Sioux Falls Seminary and other supporters.
