I remember myself imagening the buildings and cars of future when I was a little girl. I visualized everything as smooth glass fanuses, very sterile and other of this world. I am sure many of my peers shared the same dreams with me.We couldn’t know that there would be a sharp twist in the trends and philosophy of design and architecture. Mitchell Joachim, Ph.D. , Lara Greden, Ph.D. and Javier Arbona, M.S. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a new concept called “Fab Tree Hab” through which they enable dwellings to be fully integrated into an ecological community.
What is Fab Tree Hab?
It basically refers to a new sort of “slow” architecture that literally grows over time. The essential structure of the building is created as the heavy materials, ie. the trees grow woven together. In other words, the houses are not built in conventional methods but are grown. It becomes a living organism and a mixture of predetermined plans & chance. Composed with 100% living nutrients, the Fab Tree Hab is conceptualized to make effective contributions to the ecosystem. The human impact on the built environments is reduced as much as possible.
