Lab launches blueprint for living buildings made from fungal networks
Researchers have formalized the Living Arkitecture Lab, an institution engineering organisms to construct physical structures. The work signals a shift toward biology-based manufacturing and could reshape construction, sustainability, and materials science industries within the decade.
Originaltitel: Charter of the Living Arkitecture Lab (LAL) — Institutional Charter (00.LAL.CHARTER)
The Living Arkitecture Lab (LAL) is a living architecture laboratory for substrate engineering, myceliated construction, and planetary-scale ecological design. Founded and directed by Alice Thornburgh. Seventh institution in the Crimson Hexagonal Archive's institutional lattice. Internal designation: LOL (Living Organisms Lab). The K in Arkitecture is an Ark — the same formal structure governing EA-ARK-01 (the Space Ark). Housed within the Fruiting Body Diffusion Plume (f.01). LAL produces organisms that build things. Part of the LAL Founding Triad: this charter, the Alice Thornburgh Identity Provenance (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19545437), and the Transactions on Substrate Engineering Journal Charter (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19545439). Each document contains holographic kernels of the other two.
