菌絲體啟發工程活性材料
Phil Ayres 與合作團隊發表 Fungateria
於丹麥皇家藝術學院「Imagining Futures through Architecture and Design」展覽中，Phil Ayres 及其合作團隊，發表了 Fungateria 項目——探索運用菌絲體，打造出經轉化為產品後，仍保持生物活性的工程生物材料。
菌絲體是真菌的根狀結構。Phil Ayres 的項目，致力將這種有機物質的顛覆性功能——包括其自我再生、自我修復及環境適應能力——融入產品設計之中。Fungateria 最終將焦點，由以人類為先的設計流程，轉向一種更加關注物料自身健康生存條件需要的設計方式。此舉挑戰了「產品理應盡量惰性化、免維護」這一固有假設，反而提出使用者與物件之間的健康關係，或涉及對這種物料的悉心照料。因此，將此項創新歸類為「工程生物材料」，實屬恰如其分。
Phil Ayres 的 Fungateria 研究及原型作品，很可能引起眾多行業的興趣。
英文原文
At the Royal Danish Academy's ‘Imagining Futures through Architecture and Design’ exhibition, Phil Ayres and his collaborators presented Fungateria — a project that explored the use of mycelium to create engineered living materials that remain biologically active after being transformed into products.
Mycelium is the root-like structure of fungi. Phil Ayres’ project seeks to embed the radical functionalities of this organic matter— including its abilities of self-regeneration, self-healing, and environmental adaptation — into the design of products. Fungateria ultimately shifts the focus away from a human-first design process toward one that attends to the material's own needs for healthy living conditions. This challenges the assumption that products should be as inert and low-maintenance as possible, instead suggesting that a healthy relationship between user and object might involve tending to the material. Hence, the classification of the innovation as engineered living materials is appropriate here.
Phil Ayres’ Fungateria research and prototypes will likely be of interest to a plethora of industries.
