URBAN FUNGUS――Architecture is a Complex Ⅿesh
Cities are beginning to decay
Our lives depend on infrastructure and services, and we cannot restore them on our own
The ground surface is covered with buildings and asphalt, making it impossible to breathe
Dry soil does not grow food nor purify water
Vast amounts of waste are discarded every day
The power to keep buildings and infrastructure new is declining
Yet, life activities continue in expired cities
Now, we must bring back the wild
Smelling the soil
Listening to the rain
Reading the wind
Feeling the sun
To create a comfortable place to be
Learning about traditions
Studying technologies
To live here with less impact

We see architecture as part of a large mesh
Buildings are temporary nexus points from resource to disposal
In cities, waste can also become a material
Stripping the asphalt turns the soil into a small production and decomposition field
Solar heat brings cooking out of the kitchen
Lifting a building creates a habitat for living organisms
In this way, life intertwines with the resources around us: sun, soil, and waste
Multispecies networks are established
Just like how fungi (mushrooms) live in a mesh of decay and regeneration.
