chelidonInteresting idea...Lothlorien, anyone?
Edible Homes For Humanity
Using a home-building concept strongly influenced by early 19th century American ecocentric writers Thoreau and Emerson, and looking like a Tolkien elf cottage, MIT scientists have designed a 100% living tree house with its own unique ecosystem. Instead of felling trees, society will be able to farm trees for homes.
According to the MIT designers, this home concept is intended to "replace the outdated design solutions at Habitat for Humanity International... Our goal was to propose a method to grow homes from native seeds. This enables these new local dwellings to be a part of an absolutely green community."
