The Growing Pavilion is an iconic showcase of biobased materials, demonstrating how nature can shape the future of construction.
This award-winning structure combines five key natural materials—wood, mycelium, agricultural residual flows, bulrush (cattail), and cotton—creating a CO2-negative, 95% circular building with a striking organic aesthetic.
