Mushroom Architect- Chris Maurer- North by North Coast Fall Lecture

What if we could grow the materials we build with? Join AIA Redwood Empire for an evening with architect Chris Maurer, founder of redhouse studio, as he explores how mycelium, the root-like network of mushrooms, can become a building material. From NASA-supported research into space habitats to his Mycohab initiative in Namibia, Maurer’s work offers a look at how architecture can turn waste into useful materials and reduce its environmental impact. All are welcome.
