Designed by Yong Ju Lee Architecture with the Robotic Fabrication Studio (RFS) at Seoul National University of Science and Technology (SeoulTech), the Mycelial Hut explores how buildings can be grown instead of built. The experimental pavilion uses mycelium, the root network of fungi, as a biodegradable and regenerative material formed through robotic 3D printing and biological growth.

German building systems manufacturer Schüco has developed a textile façade that purifies the air by breaking down harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx). Using sunlight, the façade converts NOx particles into harmless nitrates, which are washed away by rain and serve as natural fertilizer, enriching the soil. Tests show an average NOx reduction of 30%, with higher results on individual days.

Austrian fibre producer Lenzing Group and Swiss textile innovator OceanSafe have developed a new generation of sustainable, high-performance yarns. The partnership combines Lenzing’s Tencel Lyocell A100 fibres, made from responsibly sourced wood pulp, with OceanSafe’s naNea co-polyester, a biodegradable and ocean-safe polymer. Together, these materials offer a functional and environmentally responsible alternative to conventional synthetic fibres.
