Design of the built environment, fortified by brute force technology of the Industrial Revolution, has become a liability in terms of ecological degradation and deserves an elegant retooling.
By way of graphic, plot-driven storytelling, MECHA:spore appeals to emotions and seeks to explore the possibility of a different built environment - grown, adaptive, cyclical architecture, developed during a biological revolution occurring hundreds of years post-Earth collapse.
Character-architecture symbiotic bonding illustrates the enriching experience of designing and inhabiting a living architecture or starship biosphere. MECHA:spore, Earth’s spore, is a fortified catalogue of knowledge and library of life, born from Earth and propelled to replicate among the stars.
