As known "slime mold cells prefer to live on upright structures, like trees and plants, and they tend to grow upward until the food is reached. They leave behind a trail of dead cells as they travel. As they grow, they can become very large and move quite quickly to a food source." I want to use slime mold's movement to create an experimental architectural plan and this experimental plan will be my reference point to build a 3D Structure for them. For the 3D structure, transparent material such as Plexiglass or Filament (for 3D Printing) would be an option to observe their movements clearly and record the process. When I build the structure ( relatively enclosed environment) I will place the slime mold as a temporary resident. Also, all processes will be quick and experimental due to contamination reasons. | As known "slime mold cells prefer to live on upright structures, like trees and plants, and they tend to grow upward until the food is reached.
