This will be an example of one of the many sustainable materials that we are yet to fully embrace in design today.

This will be an example of one of the many sustainable materials that we are yet to fully embrace in design today. I would like this example to be literal and show how this material could function in modern design. I propose to build a small rowing boat out of mycelium and wood. The boat’s main structure will be made from lightweight wooden dowels. The boat will be made in sections, to allow the mycelium covering to grow, and be dried to create the waterproof resultant shell. The sections will be attached together and be made water tight with a water-resistant sealer. The boat will be floating on the surface of a large tank of water. It will be fully functional, allowing the public to see limitless potentials in a range of sustainable, |
