Inosculae showcases a novel method for the fully biodegradable, large-scale 3D-printing of wood that exhibits remarkable strength. By fusing nature and technology, waste is transformed into architecture that can decay to become the source of a new tree, thereby closing the loop between resource, use, waste and regeneration.
