Introducing "Mốt (Mold) House", a visionary project about the future of housing, where mycelium structures found in mold—a typically harmful fungus—are repurposed as sustainable construction materials. The term "mold" not only reflects the mycelium's origin but also carries a clever linguistic twist. In Vietnamese, "mold" sounds like "mốt," meaning "modern" (hợp mốt) or "the near future" (mai mốt), symbolizing innovation and forward-thinking.
In my scenario, I envision a future where, by 2049, people use mycelium from mold to sustainably repair and expand homes. More importantly, when these flexible mycelium structures are shaped into custom living spaces, they transform homes into canvases for personal expression and creativity, allowing individuals to craft unique environments that reflect their identity and lifestyle.
To bring this idea to life, I created an interactive art book that spans 25 years of transformation. Imagine yourself in 2049, flipping through this book to explore how housing has evolved since 2024, with each page offering both a glimpse into the future and an engaging, hands-on experience.
