Studio Weave works in collaboration with landscape designer Tom Massey and furniture maker Sebastian Cox to create the Intelligent Garden and Building. It is a mycelium-clad pavilion with functions as housing and it was presented during the Chelsea Flower Show.

The architectural element of the space is composed of the shed that showcases how technologies created by the sponsor firm Avanade, and how it could be used to understand the health of urban trees. Ahn spoke about the design and use of mycelium references in its construction. “We wanted to use mycelium not just because it’s an innovative and carbon negative material. But also because there is this link between how AI operates and how mycelium behaves.”
