Living in harmony with nature is not always possible in our age of construction and urbanization. Today, deforestation and the lack of greenery in cities is a serious problem that not only city authorities are trying to solve, but also many companies dealing with the protection of natural resources. However, there are construction companies and private architects who build buildings in such a way that they do not interfere with nature, preserving its natural appearance. Such houses have a distinctive appearance and to some extent seem to be a part of nature.
The basic concept of a smart building is not to disturb the natural growth of trees and to adapt construction projects to nature and not the other way around. After all, intervention in the ecological system has a negative impact not only on cities, but also on the environment in general. In different cities around the world, we can see unusual buildings that rise around trees, or a tree that seems to grow through a house or a fence. Most often, holes are opened in such buildings, through which the tree continues to grow naturally.
Or it happens that the tree seems to stay inside the building. In such cases, a glass greenhouse is built around the tree trunk up to the ceiling, and a window is left in the ceiling for air and sunlight. Such projects, of course, look unusual and original, but at the same time they are not functional, because the tree inside the house can be the cause of moisture. The meaning of such projects further indicates that people have seen how to deal with nature.
Today there is a whole direction in architecture called eco-construction. It implies economical construction and maximum harmony with nature. Eco houses are built only from natural materials and in no case do not disturb the surrounding vegetation and trees. In different cities around the world, we can see many interesting houses that are built on trees or around a tree so that the branches of the tree are inside. It is an attempt by humanity to reconnect with nature and live in harmony with it.
