The Victorian Premier’s Design Awards Showcase for the first time shines a spotlight on a quarter of a century of award-winning design in Victoria. The exhibition explores through five themes: THEN, WHO, HOW, NOW and NEXT, the designers, their design practice, the outstanding work and its global impact.
Waterfront: ‘Mushi’
Mushi (pronounced Moo-shi) is the first wetland made completely out of biomaterials. Wetlands are typically made from plastics that degrade and contaminate bioecology. Mushi is completely biocompatible taking the form of three floating, interlocking triangular-shaped mycelium modules. Mushi is currently being trialled at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne.
