The main idea of the project is to take physarum polycephalum as a possibility to create an experimental architectural structure. The project also speculatively aimed to give space to physarum polycephalum to live in, just like how humans live in dwellings. | The main idea of the project is to take physarum polycephalum as a possibility to create an experimental architectural structure.

As known physarum polycephalum cells prefer to live on upright structures, like tree branches and plants, also they tend to grow upward until the food source is reached. They leave behind a trail of dead cells as they travel. As they grow, they could become bigger and bigger. | As known physarum polycephalum cells prefer to live on upright structures, like tree branches and plants, also they tend to grow upward until the food source is reached.

Architecture's relationship with nature | |||
Human being has a tendency to welcome "attractive" parts of nature in their life in indoor and outdoor spaces. They do this by creating solutions for building a relationship between nature and human-made structures. But what if we think about giving a place for living organisms to maintain their life and use architecture as a tool for them? This project speculatively approaches "architectural solutions" for physarum polycephalum and considers them as a "resident". | |||

As a possibility, the slime mold's movement may be used to create an experimental 2D architectural drawing and this drawing may become the base of the 3D printed structure. In this case, until a relatively certain point, slime mold gives a decision about how the plan and 3D printed piece will look like. | |||
