Degree Show 2025

This area emphasizes sensory engagement through touch, vision, and smell. Although the mushrooms display many vibrant colors, they are non-toxic. They can be safely handled, allowing visitors to experience the textural variations among different species and develop a deeper understanding of their characteristics.

Welcome to the Biomaterial Auditory Experience Zone, where immersive sound invites you to engage with biomaterials in a new way. Audio pieces by sound artists—like simulations of mycelium growth through electric currents—play from individual speakers, each offering distinct content. The speakers are positioned at various heights for easy listening to accommodate all visitors.

Here is the moss specimen sensory experience area, where the latest moss samples are displayed in circular containers on the ground and updated monthly. It’s a favorite spot for many children, who find the semi-open circular layout fascinating, like a small maze hidden within a forest.

Next to the workshop, a curved, hollow control panel invites visitors to co-create custom mushroom brick panels using various fungi. Finished pieces can be added to the panel or taken home. Each panel is unique and updated weekly—some are recycled into fertilizer, while galleries or schools collect others.

Next to the cafe is an open library with books on biomaterial design and application. You are welcome to enjoy a leisurely reading experience while sipping coffee. There are many books on biomaterials in the library. If you are interested in one of them, you can borrow it, but the borrowing period shall not exceed one week, and you need to pay a borrowing fee.

Welcome to the Biomaterials Workshop, where you can create mushroom bricks, mycelium panels, and moss vases. Every Tuesday and Friday, a materials expert will guide hands-on sessions. Around you are examples of what's possible. The space includes flexible seating—tables for groups or pairs—and a small kids' lounge with bio-material toys.
