The MYCOsystem, Polish Pavilion - XXII Triennale Milano

The MYCOsystem
XXII Triennale Milano

The MYCOsystem is a lab for reflection on a new paradigm of sustainability and design that goes beyond simply imitating the cycles of nature: an approach that abandons the anthropocentric idea of producing, accumulating, consuming and discarding objects and instead looks towards their eventual return to the natural cycle of material transformation.
Can we develop a new kind of design that is not dependent on the inexorable logic of growth, consumption and production?
