Veganic Permaculture Agroforestry matrices of cathedral woods, lush waterways, fruit nut forests, edible field gardens with LivingFloraBuildings.blogspot.com.  MIT has an elaboration on the idea of arborsmithing by placing a biodegradable house with a woven network of trees that evetually grows around the biodegradable home to create a living flora home.  I am collecting art associated with this idea in the hopes of spreading ideas like it further...  I hope you like it.

A friend of mine had a pergola that was about 12X12 he OVERPLANTED grapes on it and only pruned a door way under... This was near Reno Nevada. It was allways 20+ degrees cooler under it. It felt like you were being misted....allmost. Beautiful place for a lemonade...

Thank you Anthony.  I'm very interested in these sorts of structures being used sort of like a gabion wall, with the cores being filled with stone.  I haven't run into any pictures of that being done yet online.  Further I'd love to see them formed into arches and perhaps used to make an arched dome wofati like home.  I think it could be quite beautiful.

Yesss!!! This is something I am very interested in!! I have been braiding the trees on the border of my family property into beautiful arches and structurally sound designs in order to hopefully connect all the pieces and to create a home that was grown! This is something I think is very important! I’m so excited to talk with everyone about here projects!!! <3
