Micro Mycosis

Technologies adapted from other professions or fields of study have created new paradigms for design and production during the history of our times. 21st century problems such as dependency on fossil fuels for construction that lead to carbon emission and the piles of waste require yet another shift in the paradigm of how we construct our buildings. Mycelium is the biggest living organism on the planet Earth. It is a vegetative part of fungi most often not noticeable to us as it usually grows underground. In recent years mycelium sparked an interest in the fields of architecture and design as a tool to produce products that do not require material sourcing and a lot of energy for processing, but rather ones that could grow themselves. Project is examining this living architecture.
