A on-going project done in collaboration with the school of architecture at Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. We investigated the growth of mycelium in 3D printed minimal surface molds printed using wood-based filaments and also looked at experiences of designers and the general audience of working with a living material. Bio-crafting Architecture was exhibited at Centrul de Cultură Urbană in Cluj-Napoca, Romania in January 2024, and also at FAST2024 (Festival of Architecture Schools of Tomorrow).
The project was financed by the Romanian Ministry of Research, Innovation, and Digitalization.
