This course will define bioterials as materials that utilize the growth of living organisms in their manufacture, discuss bio-manufacturing and bio-fabrication, and show some of the carbon sequestering processes being developed by researchers to change impact of building to a regenerative process. We will look specifically at three novel processes of "mycotecture" developed by the speaker that use circular resources and fungi to build regenerative architecture.

He has designed and built architecture all over the world and is committed to furthering regenerative architecture to help humanity and ecosystems recover from current modes of building and production. Lessons Learned Articulate the state of the art of next generation of safe bioterials and their role in environmental sustainability Note the future prospects for bioterials and connection to circular economy and health Review the carbon cycle, GHG footprint and material decarbonization in buildings to improve global welfare. Understanding the circularity of material inputs and outputs in architectural design
