The Magic of Mushrooms
Mark Bowers
Mycelium, nature’s underground superpower, is transforming engineering with its ability to grow strong, lightweight, and biodegradable materials for the buildings of the future.
Mark Bowers, Global Materials Leader at Arup, joins industry collaborators to explore the magical world of mushrooms. We will trace their journey, from the first structural use in a large-scale art installation, to their growing role in insulation, acoustic panelling, and solving unexpected engineering challenges.
Refreshments will be provided by our hosts at Arup.
