Informed by the English landscape garden and a close study of the history of his site in Kew Gardens, Matt aims to bring together nature and architecture in a symbiotic relationship. His proposal 'Mycorrhizal House' is a biodome housing different types of mushrooms in tropical, temperate and boreal biomes. Mycorrhizas are beneficial fungi growing in association with plant roots that create a network of communication between species. Housing tempered natural growth, the building creates an ambiguity between interior and exterior, and through the mycorrhizal network it aims to enhance symbiotically the ecology of the whole site. A series of soaring organic roofs and sweeping walkways undulate in and around a copse of protected trees, putting the visitor in close proximity to a wide range of growing conditions. Exploring growth forms through parametric modelling software, a design language emerged that is able to interpret the forms and growth patterns of fungi such as the bamboo mushroom. Inspired by several Japanese references such as Hashima island, the Saiho-ji moss temple in Kyoto and the work of Japanese architect Juniya Ishigami, Matt has conjured up a strange world that is both hippyish and cutting edge; it somehow feels alive.
