TED announces TED Prize winners


Just last week I heard a replay of a Fresh Air interview with Michael Weiskopf on NPR. He was talking about the injuries he received on picking up a grenade tossed into the back of a Humvee where he and photojournalist James Nachtwey were riding in a tour of Baghdad. Both were injured and recovered, but Maass talked of the photograph he has in his workstation–the photo that Nachtwey took immediately after the grenade exploded and before he blacked out.

Nachtwey is one of three honored today with the TED Prize (the others are Bill Clinton and biologist E.O. Wilson). The prize seems singular. It is an award of $100,000 to use on a project–One Worldchanging Wish–yet to be dreamed up by each of the people awarded it. TED has also arranged commitments of finding from it “community” and other supporters.

Our winners are likely to have exceptional abilities in at least one of the following areas:

Invention
Perhaps they have created a new device or system or process capable of impacting millions of people for the better. They may be brilliant scientists, or the inspired designers of simple, cheap technologies.

Creativity
They may be artists, uniting people through shared emotion. They may be film-makers, potters, painters, poets, dancers, sculptors, story-tellers, beauty-makers.

Vision
They can perhaps unlock the power of possibility. They can help us understand, through inspired insight, our personal and universal potential and predicament. They are today’s prophets.

Leadership
They may attract loyalty and respect. They may inspire the support of talented colleagues and employees. They may build powerful teams, capable of dramatically leveraging the impact of their efforts.

Persuasion
They may be powerful communicators, whether face-to-face, or via the Internet, the classroom, the newspaper or the screen. They connect hemispheres and households. They may be teachers or catalysts, troubadours or town criers, campaigners or nay-sayers. When they write and speak, they change people’s minds.

Determination
They are likely to be relentless in pursuing their goals. They never give up.

I love coincidences in cruising the Web. After that last post on houses made of scrap, I happened upon this collection of scrapped houses.

Polar Inertia does a wonderful job of collecting and posting these great portfolios on urban typologies. This one is on Flint, Michigan (not too far away). This collection is only one case study of the sadness of the devastation of communities brought by the selfishness, lack of imagination, inertia, etc., of the American car industry.

I missed what must have been a great program on the National Geographic Channel. In a World Environment Day challenge, a group of SF architects, building officials and others were challenged to design and blitz-build a single-family house made of scrap.

It was a lovely, Modernist piece. “It risked looking like a bunch of scrap nailed together,” says Jensen. “But it ended up being wonderful. It really delighted people. You could see it on their faces when they came through.”

Apparently the Scraphouse site still exists: http://www.scraphouse.org/
