As one architect is set to transform a New York landmark by building a giant tower made of fungus. It will be built from blocks composed of corn and fungus which will grow and mesh together. 
Tower of fungus set to grow in New York: Self-building blocks will be planted for outdoor 'air-conditioning' New York's Museum of Modern Art PS1 will host the organic structure. The brick work will be grown from a combination of corn husks and mycelium and used to build the structure, which is designed to draw cool air downwards. As Architect David Benjamin's Hy-Fi design will be almost carbon neutral in its construction and even reflective bricks used in the structure will be recycled. 
As these moulding and buildings are usually a unique combination never been tied. Called Hy-Fi, the building (illustrated) will be built predominantly fugus bricks - as well as some light-reflecting ones - and is set to open in June. It was designed by New York architect David Benjamin. The bricks will be composed of corn husks and mycelium - the vegetative part of fungus.They will be grown in block-shaped moulds where roots will knit together to keep their shape.Once used in the eco-friendly building, the 'self-assembling' fungus bricks will carry on growing and bond together to strengthen the overall structure.The building will incorporate reflective bricks to throw light downwards onto the organic blocks so that they can carry on growing.

The Museum of Modern Art PS1 will host the eco-friendly organic structure, which has been designed to generate no waste and provide shade and seating for visitors to the gallery’s summer music concerts. 
Called Hy-Fi, the building was designed by architect David Benjamin and will open this June. The self-assembling' bricks will be made of a combination of corn husks and mycelium, which is the vegetative part of fungus. The tower will be grown and return to the earth with hardly any environmental impact. The shape of structure will be three open towers joined together and will include a bricks that will be coated with reflective film to bounce sunlight onto fungal root bricks below, to encourage them to grow. The two organic materials will be placed in block-shaped moulds where they will grow and once assembled, will continue to grow and mesh together, to strengthen the tower.

Pedro Gadanho, a curator in MoMA’s Department of Architecture and Design, said: ‘This material could really change the way people build.
‘It reinvents the most basic component of architecture - the brick - as both a material of the future and a classic trigger for open-ended design possibilities.’Mr Benjamin, whose architecture firm, The Living, is based in New York, won the chance to build his organic structure at the gallery in the 15th Young Architects Programme competition, which demanded that designers create structures that do not create waste once their period of display is over. 'Self-assembling' bricks will be made of a combination of corn husks and mycelium that can be grown and returned to the earth with no environmental impact.
