FUNGI HOUSE
Title:
Fungy House: Exploring Mycelium as a Building Material
Introduction:
Fungy House represents a pioneering exploration into the potential of mycelium as a revolutionary building material. Designed to serve as a biomaterials incubator, this project pushes the boundaries of digital manufacturing and sustainability research.
Description:
Fungy House is more than just a structure; it's a testament to the power of innovation and collaboration. Utilizing digital manufacturing techniques and controlled by an Arduino system, the house serves as a versatile platform for studying mycelium as a construction material.
Through careful monitoring of CO2 levels, humidity, and temperature, Fungy House provides an ideal environment for the growth and experimentation of mycelium-based biomaterials. This integration of technology and nature highlights the potential of biomimicry in architectural design.
