Special Interest Group: Mycology for Architecture

Mycology for Architecture (MycoTecture) is a collaborative to share knowledge and ideas about fungi and their role in the architectural field. The aim is to allow those working with fungi as a biomaterial to help each other, find individual collaborators, and publish a follow up book as an end product of the presentations.

Each month starting from July 2021 we will focus on a different method and purpose of producing/using mycelium materials, inviting a variety of people and groups leading the field. The topics would cover a range including:

 

· digital fabrication of mycelium

· 3D Printing mycelium composites

· mycelium simulation

· fungal electronics

· building a lab for mycelium work

· mycelium in circular economy & sustainability

· mycelium composites as thermal and acoustic insulators

· ... & many more will follow!

The talks will be shared via the HBBE-YouTube channel.

This Special Interest Group MycoTecture is lead by Dilan Ozkan.
