A material that fascinates me is the silk that silkworms and spiders produce. Silk as a material is solid and tough, and with the correct advancements in size and molecular structure, it could be used on a bigger scale. The reason I include this material is that I would love to see a future where the material is completely sustainable and natural. The pavilion created by Neri Oxman is made by silkworms that have been controlled by heat to instruct them where to build. There was a base structure already made to guide them as well. I would love to use a material like this, where the fabric is self-repairing and natural.
