This article from Fast Company discusses an innovative architectural project by Terreform ONE, where a building is being constructed using living trees. This project, located near New York City, blends architecture with natural processes by grafting trees into usable structures. The concept, initiated around 2002, aims to use ecological design principles for creating sustainable habitats. The building, called the Fab Tree Hab pavilion, is made from white willows replanted from a biomass farm, forming structural pillars through grafted tree clusters. This method, while time-consuming, offers a sustainable alternative to traditional building materials like concrete and steel, envisioning a future where buildings are grown and living.
