Description

Lead researcher on the research project Fungal Architectures at the Royal Academy, Phil Ayres, investigates how living fungal organisms combined with computer technology can function as computer technology and be used as building materials that respond to light, temperature and other environmental stimuli.

Subject

Based on Phil Ayres' previous research and professor at The Unconventional Computing Laboratory at UWE in Bristol, England, Andrew Adamatzky's work on living organisms and computational possibilities, the project team has the project Fungal Architectures, FUNGAR, supported by the European Commission's Future and Emerging Technologies program (FET), chosen to explore the idea of ​​a living, intelligent architecture of fungal mycelium.
