Not just a load of tree-hugging hippie crap. This guy studied at MIT and his firm is working with NASA.

"Mitchell Joachi insists that his plans are not futuristic. As the Executive Director for Terreform, a “philanthropic design collective,” he is responsible for progressive solutions for current problems. Save for the overt reliance on CGI imagery, the plans he presented at Postopolis! seem robustly conditional on collective goodwill, but still grounded on hard statistics and grounded feasibilities."

From: http://www.scribemedia.org/2007/07/27/terreform/

If you find this interesting, check out the 49-minute video dealing with sustainable and ecologically-sound ideas for cities, including transportation, food production and buildings at the address above. Intriguing stuff.

p.s. is there really no channel for environment or ecology?

I suggest you could have a better title...

Some of the images in the film look like the arborsculpture vid.

I dream of building my own tree based house, sort of like this one, but perhaps with a center beam that is a living tree, ( i know, i know, the roots would need water...)

Everything makes perfect sense, except for the building codes that prevent anyone from making their own house.

Fun idea. A hybrid tree/brick&mortor home would be reasonable.

It seems to me that disease, physical damage, or even unequal-growth could 'total' a home made entirely of living trees, much like a car can be totaled with seemingly insignificant damage.

What about insulation? What about water proofing? What about plumbing/electrical wiring? Would flooring be limited due to roots needing oxygen/H20?

I found some more pics of different types of tree-based homes here:
