Exploring two overlapping issues that impact the Khumbu region of Nepal - waste management at high altitudes and disaster relief in response to earthquakes and other natural disasters - "Project Next" views the accumulation of waste as an opportunity, rather than purely a problem. This conceptual project imagines modular disaster relief accommodation made from recycled plastic and encased in a mycelium fungi composite grown from and through agricultural refuse to produce rigid shapes that provide both thermal and acoustic insulation with flame-retardant and self-extinguishing attributes. The drawing highlights the immense Himalayan landscape that the shelters would sit within and the juxtaposition in scale between the proposed small structure and the world's highest mountains.
