Trees, Time, Architecture introduces living plant construction as
an important tool to improve the climate in our cities. In the form
of a magazine, the volume brings together a variety of views on the
relationship between trees and architecture, urban spaces,
modernism, politics, feminism, and cultural values. This collage of
historical, research-based and creative perspectives looks at how
living trees can be preserved, used, and appreciated in the
Anthropocene by taking into account their temporal dimension.It
highlights ancient examples of living plant architecture, such as
the root bridges of the Khasi people in India, Nordic mythology
with its representation of a tree as a cosmological symbol, and the
architectural use of living trees in the Roman Empire. The essays,
photographs, memoirs, film reviews, and conversations in this book
are supplemented with exemplary architectures, new research
approaches, and current design methods. They illustrate dynamic
processes in which trees play a key role as constantly changing
organisms.They invite a transdisciplinary examination of
relationships between people, trees, and architecture, as well as
their rethinking and further development in our time of constant
change and limited resources.
