The project »Myko.Plektonik« investigates architectural design as a co-operation between plants and filamentous fungi, driven by mycelial growth and textile techniques. In »Myko.Plektonik«, fungal mycelium is grown within knitted willow structures, intertwining the biological and the built environment. It is a project that defines new ways of collaboration between design and science as well as between different local species. During the lecture on July 10th at My-Co Place we will have the opportunity to see, touch and smell some of the prototypes and discuss a future of architecture in the cities where we can grow buildings and live in a flexible symbiosis with nature.
