Lightening coffered for slab: made of mycelium and lignin
Abstract
The recent convergence of biotechnological tools has stimulated the emergence of new design practices that use natural mechanisms to program matter under a biomimetic approach to the use of natural materials in construction: with the aim of improving the energy performance of buildings, since the dependence on materials (such as fossil fuel-based plastic foams, mineral glass and rock wool etc.), can generate potential problems such as the depletion of finite materials and resources.
In view of this, a suggested sustainable solution is the use of biodegradable bio-based materials. So, a new type of material is examined to be used as a lightening element in construction: mycelium. As a result, the bio-based material will be required to have similar properties to existing alternatives, such as expanded polystyrene, in terms of physical and mechanical characteristics, but with a higher level of biodegradability.
