The research community is harnessing the symbiotic properties of plants and fungi roots (left). Their living architectural system involves a 3D-printed brick (center) that encases mycorrhizal fungi and alfalfa to promote plant growth while also sequestering carbon and potential soil and air toxins, generating a flexible and beneficial building materials (right).
Welcome to the PENN Ph.D. and MS Programs in Architecture. Our graduate group faculty, candidates, students, and alumni welcome you to our website, eager to share with you their commitment to advanced research in architecture. Each in their own way seeks to cultivate knowledge, awareness, and invention in one of the oldest academic disciplines. Dedicated to thinking and making, as well as to critical questions and inventive solutions, the PENN Ph.D. and MS Architecture community invites you to join us.
