DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Description\nMycoShell is an installation originally
  situated in Bethel Woods\, NY for the 2024 Build Fest. It exhibits the po
 tential of biological self-growing and adaptive building materials toward 
 a collaborative future of the digital and the analog. Designed to reflect 
 the advancing research of the MycoBuilt project\, a cross-disciplinary col
 laboration of faculty and students in mycology\, engineering\, and archite
 cture at Cornell University\, MycoShell is constructed of structural mycel
 ium-bound composite panels that have been grown from a local fungal strain
  of the Ganoderma family on regional agricultural by-products of corn and 
 hemp. Additionally reinforced with natural fibers\, the result is a bio-ba
 sed\, carbon-negative\, and fully circular building component with structu
 ral capacities.\n\nMycoShell engages these mycelium-bound panels to form a
  compression-optimized vault built from individual catenary arches. Analog
  material lab tests were used to characterize the structural capacity of t
 he material\, informing digital form finding and optimization strategies t
 hat maximize compression and reduce bending and tension in the final form.
  Paired with parametric design and digital fabrication\, the final vault i
 s optimized to reduce formwork through minimal unit variations. The panels
  were grown over the course of several months in the research labs at Corn
 ell University and finally dehydrated with the use of specially built sola
 r ovens to limit embodied carbon emissions from manufacturing.\n\nResting 
 on timber logs\, MycoShell's individual panels were woven together on-site
  during the 2024 BuildFest using the fabric of its natural fiber reinforce
 ment. The collective activities work to reconsider biomaterials' role in b
 uilding and leverage streamlined\, prefabricated bio-fabrication processes
  with on-site communal building activities. The final vault is situated al
 ong and reacts to the historic site of the Bindy Bazaar\, a counterculture
  marketplace set up during the 1969 Woodstock Music and Arts Fair in Bethe
 l Woods\, built within and from the materials of the forest. MycoShell sim
 ilarly is imagined coming from the trees and returning to nature over the 
 course of the next couple of years under close observation to test the dur
 ability of the material.\n\nThe exhibition in the Bibliowicz Gallery illus
 trates three aspects of the project: material sourcing and raw material se
 lection (room 1)\, the prototype construction at Bethel Woods (room 2) and
  the growth conditions and production processes (room 3).\n\nThe MycoBuilt
  project was generously supported by the Cornell Atkinson Center for Susta
 inability. MycoShell was supported by the Cornell Einhorn Center for Commu
 nity Engagement. The exhibition was supported by the Cornell AAP Engagemen
 t Impact Grant.\n\nContributors\nRegenerative Architecture Lab: In respons

 emissions\, the Regenerative Architecture Lab\, led by Department of Archi
 tecture Lecturer Marta H. Wisniewska\, researches alternative and renewabl
 e building materials that shift the construction industry from current "ta

DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Description\nMycoShell is an installation originally
  situated in Bethel Woods\, NY for the 2024 Build Fest. It exhibits the po
 tential of biological self-growing and adaptive building materials toward 
 a collaborative future of the digital and the analog. Designed to reflect 
 the advancing research of the MycoBuilt project\, a cross-disciplinary col
 laboration of faculty and students in mycology\, engineering\, and archite
 cture at Cornell University\, MycoShell is constructed of structural mycel
 ium-bound composite panels that have been grown from a local fungal strain
  of the Ganoderma family on regional agricultural by-products of corn and 
 hemp. Additionally reinforced with natural fibers\, the result is a bio-ba
 sed\, carbon-negative\, and fully circular building component with structu
 ral capacities.\n\nMycoShell engages these mycelium-bound panels to form a
  compression-optimized vault built from individual catenary arches. Analog
  material lab tests were used to characterize the structural capacity of t
 he material\, informing digital form finding and optimization strategies t
 hat maximize compression and reduce bending and tension in the final form.
  Paired with parametric design and digital fabrication\, the final vault i
 s optimized to reduce formwork through minimal unit variations. The panels
  were grown over the course of several months in the research labs at Corn
 ell University and finally dehydrated with the use of specially built sola
 r ovens to limit embodied carbon emissions from manufacturing.\n\nResting 
 on timber logs\, MycoShell's individual panels were woven together on-site
  during the 2024 BuildFest using the fabric of its natural fiber reinforce
 ment. The collective activities work to reconsider biomaterials' role in b
 uilding and leverage streamlined\, prefabricated bio-fabrication processes
  with on-site communal building activities. The final vault is situated al
 ong and reacts to the historic site of the Bindy Bazaar\, a counterculture
