Trees are living and growing beings that are constantly in exchange with their environment, ever-evolving, repairing themselves, and changing the micro-climate of their environment. Architecture as Trees – Trees as Architecture demonstrates what it means to think and build of architecture as trees, fusing living and non-living elements into a biological- technical composite structure. The installation features two inosculated trees with roots and branches, imagery of a walkway in the treetops and a tree that is overgrowing a technical joint, and renders addressing issues like changing seasons and the integration of trees into the water and energy concept of a building, and themes of time and the transformation of public space.
