Summary
Myceen and the Estonian Academy of Arts have collaborated to create PAKK Pavilion, an experimental timber structure in Tallinn that showcases insulation panels made from mycelium (fungus root network). The pavilion serves as a field test for these sustainable building materials, demonstrating how mycelium-based insulation can be integrated with modular timber construction systems. The project represents an innovative approach to sustainable architecture and bio-based building materials.
