Description

TREE HOUSE PARK DESIGN COMPETITION

The treehouse in the modern period is an architecture typology distinct from the use of structures in trees built by prehistoric and indigenous peoples. In the premodern period, these structures above the ground primarily offered protection from wild animals, enemies, and the flooding of nature that was hostile to human existence. The architecture of tree structures camouflaged among the leaves by indigenous people was an outgrowth of indigenous structures raised above the ground on stilts and struts.
As such part of the task in this competition is to take a position on the design of structures in trees and forests.
