Construction Materials Made from Shrooms

Construction Materials Made from Shrooms Construction Materials Made from Shrooms Architect David Benjamin walked into the offices of Arup, a structural engineering firm, with a brick in hand. It wasnt your typical rust red, burnt clay brick. Instead, it was made largely of mushroom mycelium, grown on agricultural waste, produced by a company call Ecovative. Benjamin wanted to discuss what might be done with such a brick.Structural engineers work with architects a lot quite often we binnensee completely crazy ideas, says Matthew Clark, who, with Shaina Saporta, was one of the two structural engineers Benjamin was visiting at Arup, NY. But this was probably one of the most crazy. Benjamin was hoping to create something for the Museum of Modern Arts Young Architects Program, a contest whose guidelines placed an emphasis on sustainability and recyclability.Ecovative conducts research and experimentation to develop customized materials for various applications. Image EcovativeExploring N ew MaterialsUsually structural engineers build things of tried and true materials, largely concrete and steel, whose properties are well known. Now they had two projects in one. One was normal What do we build and how do we build it, says Clark. The other was find about this material, how strong is it, and how stiff it is. Thats a lot of fun. Its leid that often in structural engineering that you get to explore a completely new material.To begin the exploration, the engineers performed a rough stress test They stood on the brick. It survived the ordeal, allowing them to perform some rough calculations about capabilities. In a competition, you want the entry to be exciting, but theres no time to do the science, to know for sure if it will work, says Clark. So you stand on a brick. If you win the competition, you have a good start to go ahead and explore.As the brick had limited stiffness, Clark, Saporta, and Benjamin began to explore curved structures, cones, and cylinders, for the a dded stability they offered. The double curve they came up with, named Hy-Fi, offered maximum strength with a stiff, wide base resistant to wind loads, and a soaring statement that could be viewed from within and afar.When MoMA announced that the team had won the contest, the real exploration began. Clark and Saporta started working with Ecovative to make the stiffest mushroom brick possible.Ecovatives engineering team designs and fabricates custom equipment for producing new materials. Image EcovativeMaking Mushroom BricksMaking the bricks is simple enough. cocktail some mushroom spores with farm waste, pot it, and let it grow. Then take the bricks out of the molds and bake to kill the mushrooms. The process gave the Arup team essentially two variables the type of agricultural waste used and the time that the mushrooms were allowed to grow. They tested six iterations with load tests at Columbia University, wind tests at BMT Fluid Mechanics, and aging tests at Advanced Metal Coating s. For maximum stiffness they settled on corn stalks for waste material and a 10-day growth period. By letting them grow longer we get more of the mycelium, and the bricks have less void value, says Saporta.The final result is a mushroom brick thats 200,000 times softer than steel, 10,000 times less stiff than a typical housing brick, but capable of holding the equivalent of 50 cars.The idea of a durable but biodegradable brick is something of an oxymoron. Weather-proofing them without destroying their essential compostability was a conflict from the start. Sealing each brick in polyurethane would have solved the problem completely but would have flown in the face of the concept as well as the rules. Instead, they used natural oil penetrated into the bricks. They tested the coated bricks in a domestic shower, says Clark, and found they only gained a few percentage points of mass. They dont go really soggy and flexible, he says.Those few percentage points would mean the structure wou ld degrade over time, part of Benjamin s initial conception. In its first few weeks of existence the tower was hit with heavy rainstorms. You can see the difference, but its held up pretty well, says Clark. It can also withstand 65-mph wind gusts (the museum will just shut the courtyard if they get that high) as well as the weight of a few extra bodies. Weve seen people climb itnot advisablebut its a very robust structure.Though the mushroom brick may have its applicationsas insulation, or as the wall of a pavilionthe goal of the Hy-Fi project was to show the world that alternatives to the traditional are available with the application of a little imagination. As structural engineers we tend to be asked to design things that have to last for 50 years and at large scales, says Clark. While the mushroom brick is not directly applicable to that, its changed the way we think about materials in general. Its also remarkable from an engineering front You can still build with a material 200 times less stiff than masonry. You dont have to immediately dismiss it because its soft and floppy.Michael Abrams is an independent writer.

8 Ways to Let Recruiters Know Youre Job Seeking

8 Ways to Let Recruiters Know Youre Job Seeking8 Ways to Let Recruiters Know Youre Job SeekingIf you are currently employed and job seeking, it is risky to announce on LinkedIn that you want a new job. This is a good way to lose your job fast. So, managing the job search takes a bit of discretion and LinkedIn communication skill.Read these 8 ways you can let recruiters know you are job seeking.8. Change a setting on your LinkedIn profileGo to your LinkedIn account and change the setting that lets recruiters know you are open to opportunities. It is a subtle change and you can always plead ignorance if someone in your company finds out you did this. For example, if they find out just say,LinkedIn? I barely use it. Let me change that setting. I had no idea that was happening.However, this is not enough to let all recruiters know you are job seeking.7. Upload a professional profile pictureA subtle move, again, but if you ever look at the LinkedIn profile pics of people who are employed, chances are they did not put much work into it. At Find My Profession, we often notice during LinkedIn profile makeovers that the picture has to be changed before starting the job search.6. abflug making your profile experience easier to digestIf you want recruiters to read your experience sections on LinkedIn, you have to make it easier to read. Packing information into large paragraphs makes it very hard to understand what you had achieved or what you do best. Use bullet points for achievements and plenty of white-space to separate the information. They do it for job descriptions, too, and so should you.5. Show your career trajectory on LinkedInIn the experience section, list out the companies you worked with, job duties, job titles, and most importantly, your accomplishments. Do not just copy and paste your resume, but the resume information should reflect its content. Recruiters notice when information on resumes and LinkedIn do not match.4. Add contact info in your summary sec tionMost people will not know your current contact information. Make it easier for recruiters to contact you. Besides, only 1st-degree connections can see the contact information. Recruiters would much rather speak to you than InMail you.3. Make your summary engagingLinkedIn summaries help others figure out a bit of your personality and what you want to do in your career. Make your summary engaging and explain things in your profile that may lead to questions. Meanwhile, use the right keywords related to the industry or job you wish to work in.2. Optimize all sections with keywordsYour headline, summary, and experience should all contain the keywords related to the type of jobs you hope to be contacted for while job searching. A good way to do this is to take any job description from an online job listing and use the words the job description uses when describing yourself in a comprehensive manner.A bad way to do this is to take a list of popular industry words and paste them into y our sections. It makes your resume hard to read and it looks like a deliberate and poor attempt to manipulate search results (ie. makes you look clueless).1. Work on building your networkConnect with others in your industry. Do not just connect with everyone. Reach out to recruiters and try to connect with more than 500+ people, which is the largest number LinkedIn shows on your profile. You are showing recruiters that you are willing to do the work to get noticed.You can still write recommendations, change your URL to make you more search-friendly, and much more, without ever being spotted as someone trying to leave his or her current job.In closingAt the end of the day, these combined actions show recruiters you are job seeking, even if you never actually say it. Thankfully, LinkedIn is the type of social platform that encourages business networking, not just for todays job search, but should you need a job in the future.
