Messages from the Myco-Assemblage
- Arne Hendriks & Dominik Einfalt talk about their attempts to construct pigeon guano towers with living mycelium waste.11Dec 2020Friday afternoon, Arne and Dominik will discuss their attempt to build structures with living mycelium waste. What have they learned? What are the challenges? And what stories have emerged so far?

Is it an urban mushroom farm? Is it a pigeon…
What are those structures outside the barn at Mediamatic?
Because these structures are made from living mycelium WHAT you call it probably depends on WHEN you encounter it. At first they are horizontal mushroom farms, and many of our neighbours have...

Defining the Shape
Square and Round
Building living architecture pairs with failure and errors, but we get more experienced with each tower. Over time we learned to better understand how the mycelium behaves and how to respond to that.

The Power of Eight
From Octaves to Da Vinci
After the square and round tower try-out, we tried to build in an Octagonal shape. Finally we had succes! Apart from it being the right shape to keep the bricks together, the number 8 also became an...

Molding Mycelium: Plant Pots
- with Dominik Einfalt and Doudouce Knol2Dec 2020It's obvious that we should re-think our destructive consumption behaviours, and mycelium could be the answer. The living organism can be shaped into various shapes to create products that are 100%...

How do I handle living material?
Supply, Cut, Build
Building a living architectural structure is challenging and needs a lot of research. To start with: What kind of material do we want to use exactly, where do we get it, and how do we handle it the...

Building-Blocks
Different ways to build an octagon
What is the most efficient way to come close to a circle, but still not use too many mycelium blocks? After some testing we found out an octagonal shape for the tower would fit our purpose best.

Designing mycelium plant pots
While working with mycelium at Mediamatic we thought about ways to combine mycelium with plants. We chose to experiment on making biodegradable plant pots. When making a positive impact on the...

Structure
We are building a Pigeon Tower #4
Does form follow function or should the function follow the form? Does any of this even matter and should we just think if it works it works?

Building a Pigeon Tower
