Using nature in architecture: building a living house with mycelium and living trees

A house that grows, build and repair itself: a house that changes at the pace of seasons, a house that uses the forces of nature and is in harmony with its environment, favoring biodiversity and natural equilibrium, a sustainable cheap house, which does not require lot of workforce or industrial materials, a carbon-free and waste-free house, returning to nature when no longer used, that can achieve a sustainable and balanced development of mankind. Two questions: How can we use living architecture to decrease or nullify structure materials environmental costs? How can these living architecture techniques be used to comply with our current life and construction style with as little change as possible? We will then address the envelope challenges by answering a scientific - Can we find and test a new envelope material with little to no carbon impact?- and a technical - How can we use this material to create a sustainable house? - problems. These enable us to bring an answer to the main challenge in the living architecture field: demonstrating that such a house is not only feasible, but also rational and beneficial from both economic and environmental perspectives.
