THE FUNGI LIVING HOUSING SCHEME

by Svelozar Kudinov

A scheme that aims to provide the users 70% housing and 30% communal space that has the task to reconnect the user with nature and more specifically the nature of Fungi and the different environments they live in. This concept of living with nature is considered to be vital for this project because it improves the physical and mental health of the user since this is one of the biggest challenges that the users of this site are currently. The Proposal is a five-story building and an elevated path amongst a small urban forest. It is planted and constructed using 90% zero-carbon materials. It Consists of Spaces ranging from Dense Woodland environments that are dark and damp for Re-wilding and the fungi allotments, Mixed Woodland environment that is less dark and damp for a fungi allotment and Grassland Environments for fungi allotment and living that is Dry and Light.
