The Living Tree

Kabini, India Volume Zero Competition

Tree house (noun): A structure built FROM the branches of a tree. This tree house is a living one made from living, shaped willow trees. Rhino and Lumion.

In order to build the arboreal frame, we utilize Tree Shaping - a practice of training living trees and woody plants into artistic shapes by carefully orchestrating how the tree and the branches grow. A living structure is grafted into shape with prefabricated CNC cut Wooden jigs which would be placed at key portions of young saplings in order to guide the formation of the walls and roof.

Tree trunks form the load bearing structure to which a weave of pleached branch 'studs' support a thermal clay and straw-based infill. A dense layer of vines and other plants would be grown to reinforce the exterior and coated with pine tar to make the structure water and fire resistant. The trees that form the frame and the plants that grow on the external walls are meant to provide sustenance for the inhabitants and other living creatures who interact with the structure. Instead of being just environmental friendly, the structures would naturally blend in with surrounding ecosystems.

The idea is to enhance the user comfort by encouraging high velocity wind flow throughout the building by utilizing a phenomenon called Venturi Effect which states that the wind velocity through the narrow regions doubles up.Which increases the wind speed and inturn reduces the temperature and humidity levels. The building footprint is replaced with diifferent themed terrace gardens on roof at different levels.The facade mimics the hills and the OATs cut through to break the monotony of the facade.The building is alligned parallel to the contours in triangular shapes mimicing the waves which alternate the morning and evening sun which keeps the interiors well lit throughout the day.

Led Facade

The topmost area of the site is zoned for services and pedistrian movement. The Open air theatres are cut through to create wind funnels and to break the building mass.

Spaces are zoned with respect to the contour intervals Steep area-Cinema, Gently sloped area- Gala Theatre Image showing pedistrian movement brancing out from central axis.
