Bio Design at Liverpool Biennial

Hack the Root:

This year, Liverpool Biennial and RIBA North have commissioned building scientist Mae-Ling Lokko to build a structure within RIBA North using bio-bricks made from mushrooms grown by her help locally. The aim is to produce an architectural structure from agro waste-fed mycelium (mushrooms).

The fully-grown material will be dried forming solid modular bio-bricks which will form the facade structure of 'Hack the Root' at RIBA North. The process of growing the materials, forming the bricks, drying them out and building the structure means that there are many parts to this used in the erxhibition itself. and pavilions in various places.

This is a new example again to proving that capability of pure biological materials as to be a good, rather ideal to use in design and architecture to tackle challenges of design.

Similarly in the bio way of thinking in design. I use in this design challenge,  the ash wood veneers as a row material in its naked form to be natural openings in certian sections of the spa fasade. As it's the natural great way of dynamic systems interaction with climate influences. It's moisture driven movements. to open when (wetten) and close when it's (dried). 

 A design of the natural innovations. it does not consume any energy. Furthermore, it is a noble way of using the 

 the raw material that was alife. Plus It interacts with   the users of the space to get connected with Nature, and it rises their attention and awareness to the climate issues.
