The silk-mulberry composit showed potential as an ultra-light material, strog, biocompatible, modular translucency (Refractive index nearly-match between fibroin and mulberry cell walls).
A detailed technical description is available [link].

test for architecture: Fresh water lake inside the ocean
tests for electric conductivity / signals in a sculpture
the egg membrane is a piezoelectric material- made of collagen and calcium residue. The movement of waves naturally convert into faint electrical charges, subtle enough that some animals could perceive them.
the meeting of a fresh-water fish with a sea-water fish
the membrane allows water molecules to pass but blocks salt ions, creating a ‘freshwater lake’ inside the ocean.
a short-lived experiment, but one that gestures toward larger architectures: how species and environments, geographically distant and ecologically distinct, might be placed into contact.
