“Exploring mycelium as a catalyst for enviornmental design research,” - Michael Frush
PROJECT INTENT
The Mycology Monument stands as a captivating nature center nestled along the serene Sweet Water Trail in Lithonia, GA. Inspired by the intricate anatomy of the Morchella esculenta mushroom, this unique building seamlessly blends into its natural surroundings. The exterior shell of the structure is meticulously crafted from a mycelium composition, mirroring the resilience and beauty found in fungal networks. The mycelium composition not only enhances the building’s aesthetics but also aligns with sustainable design practices.

In recent years, mycelium has garnered recognition as a transformative material capable of cultivating a future where architecture can organically emerge. Functioning as a wholly biodegradable substance endowed with remarkable qualities—such as insulation, fire resistance, acoustics, structural integrity, and lightweight attributes—myco-matter proves to be an ideal choice for diverse architectural applications, both indoors and outdoors.
The versatility of mycelium, influenced by the specific strain and substrate employed, allows for the creation of a myriad of products. These range from molded insulating panels, furniture, and accessories to fabrics, packaging materials, and even bricks. The resulting products exhibit commendable thermal and acoustic properties, coupled with robust fire-resistant characteristics. Mycelium’s multifaceted potential opens the door to a sustainable and innovative approach in architectural design.

“If a building is to create a sense of eurythmy, it is essential that it mirrors these natural laws of harmony and beauty.” - Vitruvius
PROJECT INTENT
Tasked with the creation of an office building fostering cultural integration in the vibrant Chamblee suburbs of Atlanta, my design for Token Towers stands as a testament to unity and community. Nestled alongside the picturesque Chamblee River Trail, the building serves as a intersection of work and life, enriching the fabric of the local community.
The distinct towers, each representing a unique cultural identity, are ingeniously linked through inviting terraces. These outdoor spaces act as conduits, allowing the free flow of people between the towers, fostering a sense of togetherness and collaboration.
