Designed by Mycelium
Gestaltung einer Publikation über Produktdesign und Architektur aus Pilzmyzel
Description
We are entering a new material age in which the exploration of bio-based materials is becoming increasingly important — while also facing major challenges. Materials such as fungal mycelium, despite their ecological potential, often still encounter social scepticism, a lack of industrial standards, and technical uncertainties.
This book invites readers to discover mycelium as a material of the future — one that allows us to think, build, and live more sustainably. ‘Designed by Mycelium’ offers an introduction to fungal mycelium, challenges existing prejudices, and showcases the wide range of projects already realised in product design and architecture.
It serves as an entry point into a young but promising field — and as a plea for curiosity, courage, and material change.
