MycoHab is a pilot project of a collaboration between MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms, Standard Bank Group, and redhouse studio. The project mandate was to prove that we can convert Namibia’s encroacher bush into food AND humanitarian housing. The key ingredient is fungi. Namibia is thinning the bush all over their grasslands to combat desertification. This bush can be used as the substrate to grow gourmet mushrooms, and the waste of the cultivation can be used to make carbon storing structural materials. The materials that have been made in Namibia from mushroom cultivation waste rival concrete blocks and use truly circular and regenerative resources. https://www.bio-hab.org/materials daily 0.75 2023-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f09d82f6df813408e5ee442/1594498192286-3R35PO11BQY14M551JW1/biocycler+brick.jpg Materials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f09d82f6df813408e5ee442/1594500033626-J6WGOY9M0JAHWD6UCWNP/forms.jpg Materials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f09d82f6df813408e5ee442/1594498987383-ORXEV8YDSR6C69MR2ZLQ/bricksss.jpg Materials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f09d82f6df813408e5ee442/5e4281c1-5bf4-40f7-ad17-9eb872ee92e3/MHnamibia+4.jpg Materials Ivan Severus holding 10kg mycoblock.
