Interwoven

Interwoven: a project inspired by mycelium

Interwoven explores ideas of diversity, indeterminacy and entanglement while interrogating the possibilities of compact living and co-housing.

Diversity
Through tenure-blind design combined with numerous typologies that support a variety of living arrangements, Interwoven embraces the precarity of contemporary housing conditions and the rise of solo-dwellers as an inspiration for diversity within a thriving and resilient co-housing community.

Indeterminacy
Moveable internal partitions and un-programmed slack spaces allow for the expansion and contraction of living zones, which facilitates an indeterminate architecture that can adapt to short-term and long-term changes.

Entanglement
The project further promotes an architecture entangled with vegetation through translucent, multi-layered building envelopes. These operable polycarbonate layers create intermediate buffer spaces between the public and the private, the inside and the outside, which can be occupied by humans, plants and fungi.
