Initial Steps:

Project aims to give a space to organism and examine the behavior of conscious and continuous movement. 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, relationships between nature and human-made structures. What if we give a place to slime mold that it could maintain its life and utilize from architectural methods? Pavilion speculatively approaches architectural solutions and considers slime mold as a resident.

Keywords: living organism, 3D Printing, scanning, enclosed environment

Next Steps:

1. Documenting different behaviors of slime mold, by drawing and video recording
2. Dealing with the creating "best" conditions in enclosed site specific environment to support phsarum polycepharum's grow.
3. Building a loop - feedback
4. Improving the connection between living organism-scanner-laptop-3D printer
