The OME’s demountable wall system is being used to test the thermal performance of an experimental wall system, which combines commercially available extruded clay blocks with […]
Healing Masonry has been featured in Material Source’s annual guide to biomaterial and waste-based products! Healing Masonry introduces a blend of biological self-healing systems into masonry materials, presenting a […]
Online panel discussion: February 11th 13:00 CET. A panel of scientists (including HBBE’s Magdalini Theodoridou) will be inspired by thoughtful questions and fun videos from kids, […]
Discipline hopping Simons Foundation Pivot Fellow Evgueni Filipov joins HBBE. Evgueni Filipov is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the […]
The Living Room is a mycelium-knit biohybrid architecture that consists of an exposed knitted formwork on the interior and a smooth mycelium plaster on the exterior, […]
Bacteria-Driven Form Exploration through Aeration Scaffolding This research investigates an approach into co-designing with cellulose-producing bacteria to explore its morphogenetic tendencies in order to create intricate […]
This paper investigates the design potential of monolithically grown Mycelium-based Composites (MBCs), focusing on integrating 3D knitted formworks within the fabrication process. Mycelium has gained attention […]
How can the intersection of textile practices, biofabrication, and computation disrupt industrial construction processes to deliver scalable solutions for regenerative architecture? Materialised through a textile logic, […]
This paper explores biological, physical, and morphological factors influencing the programming of a novel microbial-based smart hybrid material which is responsive to changes in environmental humidity. […]
To reduce the dependency on active cooling, in this study, we aimed to re-design ‘Jaali’— perforated screens made of bricks and sandstones to cool the incoming […]
Space habitats, facing extreme conditions in space and on other planetary bodies, should have redundancy and versatility. There are many adaptability strategies for terrestrial habitats but none […]
This paper presents significant advances in mycelium biofabrication using permanent knitted textile formwork and a new substrate formulation to dramatically improve the mechanical properties of mycelium-textile […]
