The Problem Beneath the Pavement！
In cities, trees survive in tiny squares of soil—cut off, compacted, and dehydrated. Beneath the pavement, life gets lonely.
Mycelium
might bring new opportunity！
What if tree pits could breathe? What if they were part of a living network? Inspired by Courtney Goode’s Fungus x Design, this project explores how mycelium—nature’s quiet connector—can bring tree pits back to life.
The X-Module
Meet the biodegradable “X-modules.” They fit between pavers, hug the roots, hold water, and carry nutrients. Each one is grown with mycelium and sawdust. No glue, no plastic. Just patient growth and purposeful decay.
Designing with Decay
Instead of sealing nature out, this design invites it in. The modules decay, feed the soil, and quietly disappear, leaving the trees stronger and the ground richer.
