Exprimental, usos de futuros próximos

In the yard of the Museum of Modern Art’s temporary PS1 home in New York in 2014, an amazing architectural form of three interlinked asymmetric cones was assembled using over 10.000 bricks made from a composite of mycelial fibres, from fungi, corn stover (stalks, leaves, husks, tassels) and hemp. This ingenious structure was disassembled, composted and returned to a local neighbourhood as a soil improver. Bio-fabrication of spaces for temporary events, community gardens and for remediation of urban brownfield sites deserves much more exploration by planners, architects, designers and citizens.
