Why Myco?

The word “myco” comes from the Latin for “mushroom” or “fungus.”

At first glance, mushrooms and placemaking may seem unrelated, but they share interesting parallels. In nature, fungi play a crucial role beneath the surface—mycelium networks connect plants, enabling ecosystems to thrive by exchanging resources and information. Fungi also symbolize renewal, breaking down organic matter to sustain life’s cycle.

At Studio Myco, we mirror these processes, fostering connection and regeneration in urban spaces through creative placemaking and co-design.

Our goal? To be the fungi of the urban realm!
