[2023]Designing for Bioreceptivity
Designing for Bioreceptivity
This project examines how we can design bioreceptive structures with and for mycelium. By providing the mushroom with cellulose-based structures of woven jute and hemp, it returns a silky growth of mycelium. In changing humidity, spacing, and interaction, we can begin to understand how flexibility, regrowth, and binding can be considered as bioreceptive variables emerging from collaborating with mycelium in designing for bioreceptivity.
Custom acryllic looms supports the structure of a weave with large spacing while growing.
With every new experiment, three samples were created to document aesthetic and structural qualities.
