Mycelium based composites

As part of a larger module called “Urban Bio-Cycles – Mycelium Digitalisation: Re Establishing Bio-Cycles Through Additive and Subtractive Digital Fabrication Strategies”, the proposed research builds upon current challenges and unexplored potentials of applications of Mycelium-bound composites in the field of Architecture and Construction. Specifically, it emphasizes the role of mycelium bio-welding for large-scale architectural […]

MICROBIAL BIOCEMENT

This research aims to develop design and fabrication methods for microbial bio-cement to create low-carbon architectural elements. Specifically, it proposes integrating living organisms into the built environment using Microbial Induce Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) as a bio-cement alternative. The bio-cement production eliminates the need for natural resource extraction and fuel sources for heating kilns, resulting […]
