Bio/Digital/Fabrication

Design of the Kiosk/Pavilion is generated at the intersection of 3 separate areas of work: 1) Biology, 2) Design and 3) Fabrication. The project explores use of Mycelium, Bacterial Cellulose with aluminum as the frame in a temporary structure. Mycelium and aluminum are used for their light weight property and they also have the advantage of being able to decompose and reuse respectively. Bacterial cellulose due to its translucency when dry adds an aesthetic light and shadow quality to the design. The structure is proposed to be able to flat pack and shipped to various locations to be used as a kiosk/pavilion that can help reach a wider audience. The developed system, opens up many plausible design potentials for the future.
