- HYGRANET - What if Roads Were Grown Instead of Being Built?
Inspired by the intelligence of slime molds and the interconnected nature of mycelial networks, the project explores a city whose transportation system is alive, constantly adapting to the needs of its environment and the people moving through it. -
Hygranet proposes pathways grown from genetically engineered fungal organisms that respond to atmospheric moisture. Routes emerge where movement is needed, fade where they are no longer useful, and regenerate when conditions change. The city becomes a dynamic landscape that evolves alongside its inhabitants rather than dictating how they move.
