Roots, the underground systems of all plants. They support with water, nutrients and chemicals for protection. Plants can through their root systems work in symbiosis with other organisms.
Fungi root network gives nytrogen and phosphate to trees, which in return gives sugar through their roots to the fungi. This complex symbiosis between a plant and a fungi is called mycorrhiza. Mycorrhiza means “fungus root”, from mykes which means fungus in Greek, and rhiza which means root in Greek.
What we learn from the roots:
Principles of sharing as a tool to use resources efficiently.
Our design question:
Can the root system inspire a design for interfacial connections across borders?
