3 Nov | Co-Investigators of the Urban Biocycles Mycelium Digitalisation research module will present how fungi-based materials can be digitally fabricated for sustainable construction.

Dr Matthew Skjonsberg pointed to the future of settlement systems through the lens of history in a keynote presentation to Swiss civic organisations at Gësprache am Fluss.

A manual developed by FCL, based on a study in Makassar in Indonesia, serves as a guide in using spatial pandemic-related data to build pandemic resilience in cities.
