In 2030, London confronts a dramatic crisis where the whole city suffers from insufficiency of infrastructures. The old sewage system is not functioning anymore, and the pollution has led to serious illnesses. The nature and wildlife are on the verge of collapse.

A team of genius researchers suggests a progressive solution to the government which is going to save the city, the mycelium; as mega bio-structures. The government starts to spread awareness about the new decision and implement mycelium into the ground layer where there is an accessibility to the sewage network as a fuel for the mushroom-based material. After this stage, the bio morphosis of London begins and year after year these bio-structures will grow more and spread into the city integrating with existing constructions.

In 2050, while the ongoing climate challenges still persists, the London will adopt mycelium more fully. People are changing their interactions with animals and plants. Bio-hubs are emerging, this is where houses various animals and insects along with humans. Massive mycelium structures are blending seamlessly with the built environment and rising into the urban skyline.

Eventually, in 2080, London is in complete harmony with mycelium bio-structures. At this point, mycelium mega structures are indistinguishable from the city’s architecture. An above land is formed as a result of interconnection of these bio-structures creating a second layer accommodating the wildlife and nature. The city is a patchwork of vibrant ecosystems. A close loop is shaped where human waste becomes a valuable resource for the growth of bio-structures, and creates a new organism to purify the weather and revive the endangered wildlife. Here, human can recall its ancient relationship with the mother nature.
