Soft Futures: Mushrooms and Regenerative Design
Three recent projects fabricated from living mushroom bricks that create a visceral experience of mycelium biocomposites are described as a natural example of a “soft system.” The move toward soft, regenerative systems has important implications for the way we approach the production of architectural materials and environments in the Anthropocene. Collectively, the projects suggest a future in which dynamic materials that contribute to local ecosystems are grown rather than manufactured and engage with temporality in new and productive ways.
