This competition sought to use a natural motif of fungi and natural materials to convert a castle into an observatory.
Coverpage for the competition
Using the themes of fungal growth and mmushroom clustering, the project, dubbed "Mycelium" sought to create a harmonious space on a mountain overlooked by a ruin. The project created a site plan, accomodations, as well as additions to the ruin to accommodate tourist traffic.
