Morphogenetic Ecologies is a series of hybrid sculptures shaped by computation, clay, and fungi.

The geometry of each vessel comes from a termite simulation app, an agent-based system in which virtual termites deposit material and respond to the traces they leave behind. In one of its modes, live data from brain organoids drives the behavior of the agents. A clay 3D printer then builds each form layer by layer.

The printed vessel becomes a host. Reishi mycelium colonizes the substrate at its base, climbs the ribbed surface, and pushes out antler-like fruiting bodies that branch, curl, and harden around the clay.

The project treats fabrication as a process shared between a designer, a simulation, and a living organism. The software sets an initial geometry, and the fungus responds to it, following moisture, light, and air to produce forms that no digital model fully anticipates. The finished sculptures keep the even strata of the print and the irregular growth of the mycelium side by side, as two records of the same object.

The work belongs to an ongoing body of doctoral research on biodigital architecture and adaptive multisensory environments.
