About:
For this project we were asked to find aspects of an “object” of nature that we could use to design a sustainable project. I chose mycelium, the vegetative part of a fungus and tried to replicate its function of a network that grows and sustains an environment into a community space. I created the space for Bâtiment 7, a building owned by Montreal community groups. My design proposes dedicating a portion of the building to fostering future community development projects. The design consists of a workspace, a computer lab, a library, a café and a versatile area with convertible walls.
