City of Fungi
2023This city is the result of a combination of cognitive processes and imagination. The concrete edifices erected by humans are gradually exhibiting signs of degradation, characterized by cracking and structural instability, which poses a threat to their integrity and safety when subjected to the effects of time and natural elements. This phenomenon has the potential to induce irreversible ruptures within the immediate environment. This project utilizes fungi as a means to address these issues, aiming to restore the environment to its natural state.
