Terreform Treehouse



As part of the ecological architecture nonprofit Terreform, Mitchell Joachim, Lara Greden, and Javier Arbona designed this living treehouse in which the dwelling itself merges with its environment and nourishes its inhabitants. Fab Tree Hab dissolves our conventional concept of home and establishes a new symbiosis between the house and its surrounding ecosystem.

In order to build the arboreal frame, the designers utilize “pleaching” - a gardening technique in which tree branches are woven together to form living archways. Trees such as Elm, Live Oak, and Dogwood bear the heavier loads, while vines, branches, and plants form a lattice for the walls and roof of the house. The interior structure is made of cob (clay and straw), a tried-and-true green building approach that lends itself to customized shaping of walls and ceilings.

FIRST POST!!



GREETZ TO ALL. My name is Preston (some of you may know me). I arrived back in Denver today by bus and was greeted by a horrific display of ?military? training most likely for the Democratic national convention. Saw one even briefly land on top of a skyscraper...doubt they had permission to do that... Four all black choppers flyin' around (snapped the pic above w/ my (sometimes) handy cell phone)... Spinningsarah, one of the rav4 EV's was up on ebaymotors recently (they sell for around 80,000... Here is what Tom Hanks drives these days (he also has a Rav4 EV with many miles on it) http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/pricing.htm .. It's a modified Scion xB converted to fully electric and u can even plug them into a typical outlet.. cost is 55,000 for the conversion. My friend recently installed a hydrogen boost kit that he made for around 50 bux into his pick-up truck, he is still working on the tweaking, but right now is getting 10% better gas mileage. LET'S ALL PAY HIM TO INSTALL THESE ON OUR CURRENT GAS GUZZLERS.

Glucose and myself (DJ PWR) are playing a show on the 25th starting at 9. We have the ORIENTAL THEATER for the night, so i hope to see you cats there for a rowdy time. Only 5 bux. Who's stoked for Sonic Bloom, I've been the past two years, since it's beginning and always have a good time. Thanks for postin the goofy ass video of me dancing at last years Max :)

And finally here is a link that you guys can preview and/or buy my recently published photographic books, check em out --->http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/search?search=homad&x=0&y=0<---

EV1

Someone recently told me about an electric car that GM released a few years ago called the EV1. This car was leased to about 200 people in Arizona and California. The owners were happy but after the 1 or 2 year lease was up GM took the cars back and destroyed them despite the interest of the owners in keeping the cars. They claimed that they wouldn't manufacture these cars because they wouldnt make a profit and instead sued the state of California to lower clean vehicle registrations

the technology is out there its just too bad that the interest is in financial profit rather than environmental benefit, but who needs a clean earth when you could have millions of dollars to keep you happy instead?
