"Construction and infrastructure"
Biosolutions beneath our feet: How fungi are rewriting roads and pavements
Great empires have always announced themselves in stone, from the Pyramids of Giza to the Colosseum. Today, two materials dominate this role: cement and bitumen. They sit at the heart of modern development, yet they come with a heavy cost.
This article steps back to examine how these energy-intensive binders came to dominate construction, and why their reliance on fossil fuels and extreme heat—up to 1,450°C—is forcing the industry to reconsider how we build.
Rethinking the materials that hold the modern world together
In conventional infrastructure, binders rely on force. Fungal binders work differently: they don’t need heat or chemistry. Instead, they rely on growth.
Discover how mycelium—the root-like network of fungi—is showing up in a place few would expect: as a binder for roads and pavements to replace cement and bitumen. We explore how startups like Visibuilt are growing infrastructure that is strong, flexible, and free from the toxic fumes and high energy costs of the past.
