    Reward of Patience

    Myco-beauty

    Mycorrhizal fungi and their function

    As I wrote, fungi can more or less be divided into three main clusters. The third big group is mycorrhizal fungi. Which to me is the most inspiring group. It is the fungi that is connected to plants.

    Parasitic fungi and their function

    Fungi can more or less be divided into three main clusters. The second big group is parasitic fungi. Of course, there are parasitic species for every organism, but they are mainly related to insects.

    Saprophytic fungi and their function

    Fungi can more or less be divided into three main clusters. There are also some in-between types of fungi, but let's, for now, talk about these three. The first group is saprophytic fungi. They are...

    Defining the Shape

    Square and Round

    Building living architecture pairs with failure and errors, but we get more experienced with each tower. Over time we learned to better understand how the mycelium behaves and how to respond to that.

    The Power of Eight

    From Octaves to Da Vinci

    After the square and round tower try-out, we tried to build in an Octagonal shape. Finally we had succes! Apart from it being the right shape to keep the bricks together, the number 8 also became an...

    How do I handle living material?

    Supply, Cut, Build

    Building a living architectural structure is challenging and needs a lot of research. To start with: What kind of material do we want to use exactly, where do we get it, and how do we handle it the...

    Creating a Facefilter

    How does it feel to be a pigeon?  Of course, nobody can ever tell, and probably even each pigeon on its own feels different about it. But to support the feeling to be part of the pigeon community I...

    Building-Blocks

    Different ways to build an octagon

    What is the most efficient way to come close to a circle, but still not use too many mycelium blocks? After some testing we found out an octagonal shape for the tower would fit our purpose best.  

  • Designing mycelium plant pots

    While working with mycelium at Mediamatic we thought about ways to combine mycelium with plants.  We chose to experiment on making biodegradable plant pots. When making a positive impact on the...

    We are building a Pigeon Tower #4

    Does form follow function or should the function follow the form? Does any of this even matter and should we just think if it works it works?
