This investigation is focused on a shift between an anthropocentric approach and a system where air, greenery, mycelium, technologies and humans are equal participants in the environment. Multiple networks function simultaneously and adjust to each other to evolve together.

​

It is an experimental study with a desire to discover a set of rules that must be defined to develop new symbiotic landscapes and spaces. The movement of water inside the tree trunk compared to the movement of a walking person, spreading of mycelium network under his feet or constantly changing wind breath - how all of this is connected through the notion of time as a part of the city infrastructure? Which kind of bio-hybrid and synthetic systems have to be interwoven to respond to current and future planet’s needs?

​

Project “Inhalable Matter” is a decentralised “living organism” that integrates into existing spaces to form new environments. IM supervises inhabitants and visitors with true nature experience and optimal climatic balance. It is a synthesis of different technologies and can be a critical revision (update) for existing spaces that could be added to the dense cities as an additional multifunctional layer or new spatial environment. It reintroduces nature in a compassionate way, where the true principles of nature merge with human requirements to re-engage both sides.
