MYCELIUM AS CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL
Project Type: Final Degree Project - 2017
Introduction:
The culmination of years of research and exploration, my Final Degree Project delves into the innovative realm of mycelium as a building material. Collaborating closely with Maria Mallo and drawing from personal projects, this endeavor represents a deep dive into the potential of fungi to inspire and shape our built environment.
Description:
My research work focuses on the development and utilization of mycelium biocomposites within lignocellulosic substrates. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing projects, methodologies, and competitive material assessments, I aim to showcase the versatility and sustainability of mycelium as a viable construction material.
The project serves as a compendium, offering insights into manufacturing recipes, methodologies, and competitive material analysis. Furthermore, it explores the integration of my findings into larger architectural endeavors, including Maria Mallo's Breeding Spaces project and my own Fungy House project, which was developed to provide further support to the research.
