*Sustainable Aesthetics // 2022 WiSe Project | |||
*Mediator: Architecture, drawing practice | |||
*Agency: Physarum polycephalum | |||
*Experiments:#petridish #PhysarumPolycephalum #joulthief | |||
The project aims to examine the behaviour of physarum polycephalum and utilise its conscious and continuous movement. | |||
In the project, firstly, cube and rectangle forms which are made by agar used to observe how slime mold reacts to different shapes. | |||
The main idea of the project is to take physarum polycephalum as a possibility to create an experimental architectural structure. The project also speculatively aimed to give space to physarum polycephalum to live in, just like how humans live in dwellings. | |||
As known physarum polycephalum cells prefer to live on upright structures, like tree branches and plants, also they tend to grow upward until the food source is reached. They leave behind a trail of dead cells as they travel. As they grow, they could become bigger and bigger. | |||
When we consider the history of architecture, architecture is human-centric and gives an answer to human needs. | |||
Architecture's relationship with nature | |||
Human being has a tendency to welcome "attractive" parts of nature in their life in indoor and outdoor spaces. They do this by creating solutions for building a relationship between nature and human-made structures. But what if we think about giving a place for living organisms to maintain their life and use architecture as a tool for them? This project speculatively approaches "architectural solutions" for physarum polycephalum and considers them as a "resident". | |||

As a possibility, the slime mold's movement may be used to create an experimental 2D architectural drawing and this drawing may become the base of the 3D printed structure. In this case, until a relatively certain point, slime mold gives a decision about how the plan and 3D printed piece will look like. | |||
