Kudos – a library for material relations
When
Where
We humans spend most of our time indoors, but we rarely pay attention to the materials around us, their effects on our wellbeing or the other way around.
Kudos challenges sterile and uniform interiors by advocating for spaces that are alive, changing and imperfect. Built with mycelium, clay and wood, the space is a collaborative creation between visitors and materials, offering an immersive and sensory experience that invites reflection on one's relations with their surroundings.
It blurs the lines between buildings and living things by exploring forms of mutual care deeply rooted to our existence, but seldom experienced in our current world.
