From Field to Form is a series of events exploring the possibilities, life cycles, and architectural implications of plant and earth-based materials.

Mycelium is the network of fungal threads, technically called hyphae, that are harnessed to do everything from cleaning up toxic waste sites to providing elegant wood stains  to medicinal and culinary uses. The kingdom fungi can also be harnessed to mold bricks and grown to insulate healthier, climate positive buildings.

What role can mycelium play in shaping the future of healthy materials for architecture, design, and construction? On November 20th, a cultivator, a manufacturer, and an architect at the forefront of mycelium’s use in materials and design will be in conversation about the promises of using mycelium to create regenerative built environments.

Organized in partnership with Healthy Materials Lab at Parsons School of Design, this program will explore the potential of mycelium to shape the future of healthy buildings.
