Pigeon Tower
Babel
June '20 – Pigeon Tower 01
The first tower of mycelial waste. Living material. We mainly wanted to start. With a lot of enthusiasm but little precision or consultation.
The uneven blocks were stacked intuitively. We filled the holes with a mixture of mycelium, straw and water. Someone said, the wall seems to be leaning a bit ... We tried to save the tower, with plastic wrap and side aisles, but unfortunately, after only a few hours Babel fell over.
This is not how we should treat living material.
