Blast Studio
Inspired by natural ecosystems, Blast Studio created a cycle where urban waste is transformed thanks to fungi and new technology into unique living structures.
Blast Studio is a design studio created in 2018 by Paola Garnousset, Martin Detoeuf and Pierre de Pingon with the aim to explore how nature and technology can be put in dialogue in order to transform cities’ discarded material into artefact and architecture.
In 2020, they won the Prix d'Encouragement in Architecture from the French Académie des Beaux Arts. In 2022, they were awarded the New Talent Award at Surface Design Show and they are finalist for the Loewe Craft Prize 2022.
