Open Days at Poznan University of Technology
During the recent Open Days at Poznan University of Technology, our lab Mycelium Metamorphosis, operating within the Biomaterials Laboratory, had the opportunity to engage with prospective students and present the scope of our research and creative practice. Visitors were introduced to our exploration of natural materials and selected biomaterials, with a particular focus on mycelium-based […]
Polish-Chilean Research Laboratory at the Poznan University of Technology
„Transforming Architecture through Biomaterials” During an intensive 9-day workshop, participants will design and build their own architectural forms from scratch using a living, ecological material: mycelium. This natural substrate grows, responds to environmental conditions, and can become a lightweight, durable, and biodegradable structure. The process offers a unique design experience in which the architect not […]

Collaborative Research on the Acceptance of Mycelium in Architecture and Design at the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, University of Chile
Together with Professor Gabriel Felmer, we conducted a joint research project exploring the acceptance of mycelium-based materials in architecture and design among students from the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at the University of Chile. As part of the study, students had the opportunity to see, touch, and smell various types of mycelium composites, comparing […]
Research Workshop in Chile: Exploring Mycelium-Based Composites
One of the highlights of this research visit in Chile was an intensive workshop led by Pedro, an expert in mycelium-based composites, whose works can be seen here: https://www.instagram.com/tallerpercan?igsh=Z3RlbWYwNWprYnlu. During the workshop, the entire process of cultivating mycelium and creating composites from scratch – from growing the fungal mycelium to shaping and drying the final […]
Research visit in Talca and Concepcion, Chile
Our international cooperation is expanding to include more universities and laboratories!During the research stay in Chile, thanks to Professor Felmer, more fantastic meetings took place, which we hope will result in further cooperation. Thank You very much for showing us that mycelium-based composites and biomaterials are no longer the future – they are the mainstream. […]
