Root
Computational Design

Beyond Biomimicry is a call to decenter the human in the design process by allowing nature to act as the designer herself, in hopes of ecological equality.
Root is a shoe that is grown around the foot. It utilizes differential growth, the natural process when parts of a plant grow at different rates, causing the plant to curl in on itself. Root simulates the differential growth in mushrooms as a shoe.
The Beyond Biomimicry collection creates a wearable biophilia effect, these forms are more ancient than humans - at the same time, Beyond Biomimicry is our future.
