Matter that regenerates instead of consuming.
Maria Kuptsova creates cyborganic objects, synthetic sculptures, hybrid interfaces and living architectures, cultivated rather than manufactured. Her work ARBOR.Pilae was presented at the Biennale Architettura 2025, Natural Intelligence, curated by Carlo Ratti.
Projects
Collectables
Alongside large-scale iterations, a small number of ARBOR pieces exist as collectible objects — cast from recycled wood sawdust and PLA, some carrying a living mycelium interface, each biodegradable and capable of storing and re-metabolising carbon. Pieces are released individually; acquisition is by direct inquiry rather than open sale.
