Structures made from trees, without the cutting down part


the trees will be grown in the shape desired – like the ultimate topiary, only useful. Researchers from Tel Aviv University and the company Plantware are partnering up to grow structures from trees on a commercial scale – structures including bus shelters, playgrounds, and even houses.The project hopes to take the technology to bigger-than-a-bread-box levels, creating sustainable, eco-friendly structures.other structures like park benches, gates, streetlamps and so forth grown out of trees.i think it is a good idea because it is in the shape that the structure require, thus there is no more materials need to use like cement, nail, aggregates, sand and so on.it can cut down the cost.the structure made of tree can also reduce the used of natural resources.i enjoy reading it.http://green.yahoo.com/blog/ecogeek/731/structures-made-from-trees-without-the-cutting-down-part.htmlBy Jaymi Heimbuch
