Summary:

Building with trees has a tradition that stretches from the living bridges of India to dancing lime trees. Following on from this, the new discipline of Baubotanik is dedicated to designing with trees. Built projects and visionary concepts point the way to a new green architecture. This introduction explains the basics of constructing with trees and goes into the botanical growth laws that guide the design.
