Research Connections | Sentient Structures - How Fungi Can Change Our Perception of the Possible

Featuring Joshua English of Okom Wrks Labs; and Athena Moore, Network Strategy Manager, Autodesk Research. In this Research Connections presentation, we explore the how and why of mycelium based composites (MBC): The subset of fungal species that work best, the spatial awareness of mycelia, the biochemistry of MBC, and the mycelial matrix - tapping into 600 million years of technological know-how. Why looking to nature’s blueprints will provide so much promise: Lightweight structures using geometry, better buildings by melding nature and digital design, and the current state of the art. How this all adds up to decarbonizing the built environment: Why mass timber is a fallacy, why building with agricultural waste and fungi can protect forests and biodiversity as well as sequestering massive amounts of carbon, and how MBC can help dramatically reduce concrete use.
