| summary |
A sustainable, circular, post-carbon economy of the future will take waste material from one part of the economy and give it new value. This will reduce energy and material leakage from the economy and create new opportunities for innovation in materials. Myco-materials provide an opportunity to transform ligno-cellulosic matter, such as waste cardboard and sawdust, into useful materials. This is achieved by using a fungus to bind together these substrates into useful forms. This paper explores how computational design parameters can be informed from the mycelia growth process. We created several prototype forms that show behaviour of myco-materials through the growing and drying process. These show how inclusion of cardboard substructures may improve the performance of the resulting material by increasing its stability during the drying process. We also demonstrate limits to the size of myco-materials through computational design. Myco-materials will likely be part of a sustainable post-carbon economy, by bringing new value to waste material, and this paper shows how computational design can be informed by mycelial growth. |
