抛开所有的蓝精灵笑话不谈,一种以真菌为基础的新型建筑材料可能会彻底改变建筑业。2022世界杯四强亚盘赔率
很多人都在谈论建造“绿色家园”,但这到底意味着什么呢?2022世界杯四强亚盘赔率In most cases, an eco-friendlyhome简单地用材料和固定装置建造,使它更节能。
This fails to address the hazardous nature of many traditional home building materials and the manufacturing process used to make them.
A truly green home should use materials that are benign, from the factory to the 30th year of habitation. Impossible you say?Planetary ONEbegs to differ.
A unique collaborative effort of designers and scientists, Planetary ONE partners are pioneers in progressive urbanism through design, ecology and technology. The collective’s most impressive creation to date is Mycoform: a completely organic building material that can be grown by combining fungal mycelia with varying types of organic substrates and carefully controlling their expansion within prefabricated molds.
In just over a week at 80 degrees, the spores grow to fill the form, resulting in a light yet solid structure. The result? Mushroom bricks.
In addition to construction materials, Mycoform can be used to make acoustic tiles, insulation, shelters for disaster-stricken areas, and temporary structures such as street fair booths, reportsTechCrunch.
Although Mycoform by itself is sun, mold and water resistant, biodegradability makes it a poor solution for longer-term structures. To address this, the team makes brick molds out of recycled aluminum sheets. When grown inside this aluminum casing, the bricks are expected to last between 25 and 30 years. Each brick can withstand about 2000psi, equivalent to the strength of a regular brick.
The best part (besides being able to say you grew a mushroom house) is that unlike traditional bricks production,which produces up to 1.3 pounds of carbon dioxide per unit, the act of making Mycofoam pollution free.
Would you live in a house made of mushrooms?
