Building with mycelium

Bio-based Materials and Materials Cycles in Architecture (BioMat) from Stuttgart University designed and realised together with TU/e a pavilion on the campus in Stuttgart. In this project innovative bio-composite plates were developed and used in a grid-shell structure spanning approx. 10m. Read more

In 2016 a research team, led by Eindhoven University of Technology, realised a fully bio-based composite pedestrian bridge with a span of 14m across the river Dommel on the campus of the university. The specific bio-based composite material consists of hemp and flax fibre with integrated fibre-optical sensor to monitor the structural behaviour in real-time.

In 2021 a research project will start explore the possibilty to re-use precast concrete elements and re-design new building with them. Some previous work in this field of Eindhoven University of Technology can be viewed here.
