Effused Materiality

Project details

Programme

Effused Materiality is informed by transparency and flow within glass bodies. The project aims to develop a new framework for designing with complex and active material systems, a heterogenous object model for fused matter. It redefines the envelope through a material-first approach driven by performances in light, energy, and structure.


Glass is chosen as the medium for its optical and structural properties, exploring the challenges and opportunities in fabricating freeform architectural glass assemblies. Bioluminescent mycelium brought to built environment as a living infill component within transparent façade, provides opportunities for bioindication and bioremediation, at the same time highlighting darkness and targeting human perception.
