Abstract

MycoCreate 2.0 is a spatial structure with load-bearing components made of mycelium-based composites, built for the 2022 Biomaterials Building Exposition at the University of Virginia, and has been initially conceptualized for the 2021 IASS Innovative Lightweight Structures Competition. Mycelium-based composites are lightweight, renewable, and biodegradable biomaterials obtained from mycelium, the root systems of fungi. There is a growing interest in mycelium-based materials from the architecture community, mainly due to their sustainable features. With MycoCreate 2.0, we employed a computational form-finding strategy for funicular, component-based structures fabricated with mycelium-based materials and an affordable and sustainable fabrication strategy to minimize waste. In addition, we tapped into the structural aspects of mycelium-based composites, their lightness, and biodegradability while easing the breathing and compaction of the material within the formworks.

Mycocreate 2.0的设计与制造:一个由承载菌丝体的复合构件构建的空间结构

MycoCreate 2.0是一种由菌丝体基复合材料制成的带有承重部件的空间结构，为2022年弗吉尼亚大学生物材料建筑博览会而建造，并已初步为2021年IASS创新轻型结构竞赛而构思。菌丝体基复合材料是从真菌的根系菌丝体中获得的轻质、可再生和可生物降解的生物材料。建筑界对基于菌丝体的材料越来越感兴趣，主要是因为它们的可持续性。在MycoCreate 2.0中，我们采用了一种计算找形策略，用于用菌丝体材料制造的基于组件的缆索结构，以及一种经济实惠的可持续制造策略，以最大限度地减少浪费。此外，我们还利用了菌丝体基复合材料的结构方面、它们的轻质性和生物降解性，同时减轻了模板内材料的呼吸和压实。
