The project will challenge traditional ideas of materials for construction by developing new grown biological composite materials in the context of the extreme environments of other planets. The project combines an experimental design-led approach, collaborating with both material and bio-scientists in the UK (Northumbria and Newcastle University) and in ther US (NASA) to experiment with selfreplicating, strong and lightweight mycelium-based biocomposite for construction of extra-terrestrial habitats. The project will prototyping these new materials and develop architectural scenarios which will question how we construct with the complexity of biological systems of use and how we may live in habitats which are, themselves, living.

该项目将挑战传统的建筑材料理念，在其他星球的极端环境下开发新的生物复合材料。该项目结合了实验设计主导的方法，与英国（诺森比亚和纽卡斯尔大学）和美国（NASA）的材料和生物科学家合作，试验自复制，坚固和轻质的菌丝基生物复合材料，用于建造外星栖息地。该项目将对这些新材料进行原型设计，并开发建筑场景，这些场景将质疑我们如何构建使用生物系统的复杂性，以及我们如何生活在栖息地中。
