Bio Concrete
MATConcrete and building materials enhanced with biological processes for regenerative construction.
Bio concrete integrates living organisms and natural processes into traditional construction materials, creating structures that actively improve their environment rather than simply occupying space. This approach combines material science with ecological thinking to produce buildings and infrastructure that can self-repair, sequester carbon, or support biodiversity.
The community explores applications ranging from mycelium-based production facilities and earthen construction systems to coastal pavilions and residential projects that demonstrate how biological integration can address environmental challenges while reshaping conventional building practices.
