2. Digital joinery
→ Parametric design generates interlocking joints
→ Each panel numbered for assembly sequence
→ Traditional craft via computational design

Research patience = innovation maturity.

Why Mycelial Hut is groundbreaking:

1. Permanent structure (not temporary pavilion)
→ Load-bearing performance: 1.8 MPa compressive
→ Structural engineering approval (Seoul Building Dept)
February 17, 2026 at 3:32 PM
Material: 155 panels grown from Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom)

→ Agricultural waste substrate + mycelial binding
→ 35-day growth period per panel
→ Heat-treated for fire resistance (Class B)

2. Local materials, local labor
→ Spruce grown within 50km radius
→ No specialized fabrication equipment

3. Permanent public structure (not temporary pavilion)
→ 113 steps to viewing platform
→ Free access, 24/7

Innovation: Moisture-driven bending (bio-inspired by spruce cones)
→ Flat bilayer CLT panels placed in kiln
→ Controlled drying causes curvature (computational prediction)
→ 12 panels create 23m spiral tower
→ No heavy machinery required
Assembly time: 3 days

Why Cocoon Preschool is important:

1. Proves parametric ≠ expensive → $750/m² (half of typical Indian construction)
2. Climate-responsive without high-tech systems → 100% passive cooling (42°C exterior, 28°C interior)

Parametric innovation:
→ Undulating green roof (computational thermal analysis)
→ Ovoid skylights (optimized for children's visual height)
→ Natural ventilation (CFD-optimized apertures, no AC required)

Parametric design for social good, not iconic statements.
