Manmade Mushrooms explores the overlooked utility buildings that serve as entry points to a vast, unseen network of infrastructure beneath our feet—an intricate web of pipes, cables, and drains that quietly supports our comfortable urban lives.
Just as mushrooms emerge from subterranean fungal networks, these structures dot the landscape as markers of a hidden system, bridging surface and subsurface worlds.
This project visually examines the symbiosis between human society and the resources essential to our daily lives, drawing parallels between natural ecosystems and urban growth.
The project reflects on how the infrastructure we rely on expands ceaselessly, mirroring nature's interdependencies in a uniquely human context.
