Understanding the substratum : Mycellium growth tests
Test tube experiments
Day 1
Day 3
Day 7
Experiments with agar.
Agar + tap water
Agar + distilled water
Petri dish after 2 weeks.
Experiments with substratum:
Mycellium substratum mixed with rice to accentuate growth process.
Module test:
Manual Extrusion:
Spraying tests:
Techniques and application :
Facade System :
Application with intention of mycofiltration.
Benefits of mycofiltration:
Consumes e.coli, effectively eliminating them from the environment
Removes contaminants from polluted environment.
Inhibits plasmodium falciparum, a parasite that causes most dangerous type of malaria.
Prevents erosion due to water runoff.
Facade System :
Exploration one : Module based system.
Facade System :
Exploration two : Printing on mould. Layer-module based system.
Facade System :
Exploration three Extruding directly on facade by robot.
