Hack The Root at RIBA North: In Conversation with Mae-ling Lokko

Date: 21-Jun-18 to 21-Jun-18
Location: United Kingdom
RIBA North and Liverpool Biennial have commissioned Mae-ling Lokko to develop a project using Grow-It-Yourself workshops to produce an architectural structure from agrowaste-fed mycelium (mushrooms).

The mushroom grow chambers will be in our City Gallery in June where visitors will be able to see the modules growing. The fully-grown material will be dried forming solid modular biobricks which will form the facade structure of 'Hack the Root' at RIBA North. Visitors can walk within and around this structure and explore an exhibition in Gallery One which ...

Peckham Psychedelics Fiesta
