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. | 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.

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. | |||
