My second semester project won an international 3D concrete printing competition hosted by Holcim + Cobod, in 2021. A large scale 3D printer (Cobod) was used to fabricate the digital models. Mycelium was grown as structural insulation that interlocks with the printed geometry in order to make the wall one structural element. The wall integrates columns, ventilation and internal screen wall for shadow and light effects.
Columns with steel reinforced interface is integrated into the continous toolpath of the wall element.
Mycelium is grown as structural insulation inside interlocking printed geometry that also creates voids for concrete columns to be poured inside., interlocking with the printed geometry that integrates columns.
