A trip to Paris which consisted of experiencing the architecture of science communication and research. Upon this journey I explored the laboratory of Louis Pasteur and began to study the processes and implications behind his experimental endeavours. LOUIS PASTEUR
14i. Broth is boiled in a swan neck flask to sterilize substance > Due to shape of the swan neck flask, air cannot get into the vessel and contaminate the broth. As a result the broth remains free of microorganisms. 14ii. Broth is boiled in a swan neck flask to sterilize substance > Swan neck is broken off exposing the broth to air > Exposed broth eventually becomes contaminated and developed bacteria due to microorganism.

The house caters to the basic human functions of eating, sleeping, playing, and bathing. In addition to providing the means for these fundamentals, it enables Pasteur to do his work with a home laboratory as well as the architecture itself being part of the experimental endeavours related to his realms of interest. In the interest of convenience and safety due to the ramifications of his field, the house is split into two different sections.

Identifying and understanding the self-sufficient behaviour of mushrooms to ensure their reproduction and harness their potential. Mushrooms have been known and used for their medicinal purposes, eco-friendly building materials and for bioremediation purposes due to it’s unique attributes.
1. The fruiting body of the mushroom is the stage the fungi must reach before asexually reproducing.
2. The mushroom cap contains ‘gills’ which releases spores (fungal equivalent to seeds) onto the ground.
3. Spores can travel through air, water and on the surface of other animals.
4. Spores germinate and begin to grow thread like structures through the soil/substrate. 5. This thread like structure turns into a ‘Hyphal Knot’ which transforms into a ‘Pinhead’ which then pushes back through the soil.
Mycelial ‘threads’ forms a dense mesh through soil and substrates.
My c e l i u m a s a B u i l d i n g M a t e ri a l The binding nature of mycelium with other substances can be utilised as building materials when it is treated in a specific way. The outcome is as robust as the alternative options with the benefit of being significantly kinder to the environment. 28. Mushroom Tower, David Benjamin, 2014. Structure made out of mycelium bricks. 29. Add mycelial spawn to organic substrate. Once mycelial mesh has grown through substrate it can be moulded into desired shape (e.g. brick). After leaving it to strengthen it is then heated to kill further growth of mycelium and thus complete the process. mycelium bricks are just as strong as concrete, tens of thousands of times softer than steel, anti-flammable and natural.

Whe r e D o We C om e Fr om ? / Th e P l u ra l i t y of Fu ng i
By looking back the evolution of life we can identify the departure of several kingdoms, in particular Fungi,and acknowledge that they are more like us than we think. Humans have a profound relationship with Fungi, a relationship that isn’t nearly exploited enough. Fungi are essential for biodiversity, the health of the eco-systems and our own personal health. The site provides a prosperous location to take advantage of the plurality of Fungi. 38. Humans separated from fungi 650 million years ago. We are decendants of Fungi and share a more common ancestor with fungi than any other kingdom.
Proposed site
Origin of life
39. The network like design of Fungi is similar to that of the neurons in the brain. Fungi has characteristics that appear to be reactive to their environment and ‘think’ in the pursuit of their survival, much like that of the neuron network that exists in the human brain.

Fungi Informing Form
Utilising the natural shape of the fruiting body to influence and shape the buildings form. 42. Casting mushrooms to harness their form in order to create spaces of circulation and programmatic moments. 43. Utilising the structural integrity of the mushrooms to mimic the engineering behind Gothic vaulting. Both forms consist of a cone-like structure that have the ability to interconnect with each other to create grand spaces. Cast mushrooms to create vaulting and provide the desires aesthetic for the social realm of the building.

Destigamatising Fungi
Due to their ephemerality, their ability to be poisonous in some places and their mysterious behaviour, a strigma has developed around fungi which could be a contributing factor in the lack of enthusiasm towards harnessing their abilities. This wall is designed to familiarise the observer with their nature in an attempt to destigmatise the presence of mushrooms. 47. Concept drawing of fragment showing connection between scientific endeavour and public space. Live walls desensitise public to their presence whilst providing access points for scientists to take samples/spawn. 48.

In addition to this, the mushrooms would be able to feed off flourishing flowers and reproduce. Ring beam structure inspired by the intricate structure of mycelium and its branching out pattern. 6.

16. THE TOTTENHAM RECYCLING CENTRE
The project provides a response to the shortage of housing and the resultant threat to Broadwater Farm Estate in Tottenham. It is designed around the principle that on average around 4.8m² is taken up by possessions we do not need i.e. clutter. The recycling centre encourages users to abandon their unnecessary possessions through methods of circulation and environments that provoke contemplation and reflection. Once the possessions have been disposed of they are then up-cycled and are transformed into practical goods once again.
