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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
We are delighted to share updates on the latest work from the Microbial Environments Theme, researching on OMEinfo. WHAT IS OMEinfo? OMEinfo is an open-source bioinformatics […]
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. […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
