Mitchell Joachim's TED Video - Don't Build Your Home, Grow It!
TED Fellow and urban designer Mitchell Joachim presents his vision for sustainable, organic architecture: eco-friendly abodes grown from plants and -- wait for it -- meat.
 "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."
Mitchell's Speech Topics:
- Sustainable Cities
- Cities of the Future
- Sustainable Architecture
- The Future of Sustainable Design

- Don't Build Your Home, Grow It
