E-mail: mangesh.kurund.20@alumni.ucl.uk
I am a multidisciplinary designer, with a Masters in Bio-Integrated Design from The Bartlett School of architecture, UCL. As a part of my academic research, I developed a novel hydrophilic carbon-negative substrate material for bio coloration on algal growth and architectural surface applications. I have a background in architecture and professional experience in earth-based architectural practices. I am currently developing new methods to fabricate biomaterials with algae and computationally exploring environmental data-driven design for the digital understanding of bio x architecture.

Modular Knitted Architecture

Northumbria University, Newcastle University, and HBBE
Elizabeth.gaston@Newcastle.ac.uk
Bespoke Knitted branching structures have the potential to dramatically reduce the quantity of traditional bulk materials required during construction. This is because the complex geometry can reduce the materials required to achieve structural performance. In addition, branching structures have already been demonstrated as suitable for application using low impact biomaterials such as mycelium and bacterial cellulose composites.
In this research we have investigated a lexicon of branching structures at two scales using hand process. Form and complexity have been developed through computational modelling and tested in knit production on industrial knit technologies.

Myco-Knit CompoSITe prototype explores artistically a novel fabrication technique of building with digital tools and biology by using a 3D knitted, reinforcing fibre-based formwork for growing a chair with Mycelium, the root network of fungi. Mycelium growth binds the organic filling material together, resulting in a stiff self-supporting and light-loads carrying object when dried. This novel bio fabrication approach widens the possibilities of building complex geometries with biomaterials in the future

International Summer Workshop
skeu@kglakademi.dk
The prototype is incorporated into our everyday built settings, with a focus on insect and microbial life and tests a limited amount of processes that we worked with during the workshop as the microclimate is the fundamental link between the physical planning of any habitat (geometry, spatial arrangements, material compositions) and its receptivity to living organisms. Variation of microhabitats, suitable for biodiversity, are formed primarily as a result of microclimate fluctuations.
