Living building material

A living building material (LBM) is a material used in construction or industrial design that behaves in a way resembling a living organism. Examples include: self-mending biocement,[1] self-replicating concrete replacement,[2] and mycelium-based composites for construction and packaging.[3][4] Artistic projects include building components and household items.[5][6][7][8]
