Tree Life

They say that people or the ancestors of people once lived in the trees. At least in some places. It is clear that the Chukchi and Aleuts, for example, the trees could not live in the absence thereof. But I lived as a child in the trees regularly. My friend even something like a lodge in the branches several times built. Stupid anti-evolutionists sometimes say that, they say, "even wild and feral tribes do not live in trees, as do monkeys who tipped us to the ancestors." What can we say to such people? Here's what: "Lord, you know little, a little reading and unobservant." All children who are in the personal development of its repeated development of the human species, live in trees. At least - at the bottom of the fork plum tree until my grandmother would call not for dinner. A look at the first picture on this post. See? This is a modern dwelling people Papuan tribe korouai. And it - high in a tree.



Among the tribes still living in the trees, and korouai kombai - the most famous. Probably because they live is actually very high. Clearly, it is one thing to raise dwelling on stilts or on the trunks of trees over natural ground six feet, and his vpendyurit here at such a height - quite different:



Companion dog brings home from a walk:



More houses:



By the way, deviating from the topic at the moment, the tribe korouai remarkable not only for its houses. Like many savages korouai almost nothing bear the clothes, doing the most minimum.
Well, back to their homes in the trees.

Kombai and korouai - one of the wildest, perhaps, tribes in the world. Malay narodec Semanggi (Ngong) today already lives mainly on the ground, in extreme cases - in the pile houses. But not so long ago they also lived in the trees. Photos wood house Semanggi I have not found, but almost woody - on tall stilts among the trees:



Wood house quite civilized (when compared to korouai) Philippine tribe bagobo:



In Turkey, Olympos, tourists are offered for housing houses, hotels on the trees:



Pulls back on the trees and the Japanese. For example, a restaurant at the entrance to the park Onoyama in Okinawa:



Japanese architect Terunobu Fujimori built himself on a tree fairy tea house:





House stands in Nagano Prefecture and is named Takasugi-an - "very high tea house." It was built in fact on the tree. Or rather - the trees - on the trunks of two old chestnuts, dug, though elsewhere and brought to the site specifically.

Here is the Takasugi-an inside:





And here is the master Terunobu Fujimori prepares tea:



Japanese architecture and is generally considered harmless, even a stamp exists in okolokulturologicheskoy environment - "eco-friendly Japanese architecture." But this house stands out even against the background of Japanese architecture - back to nature, to the roots to the crown, to the childhood of humanity ... Before actually do architecture, Mr. Fujimori was its historian and fotoletopistsev. And he was interested primarily masterpieces of discharge, so to speak, of unknown creations of architects. He studied ancient buildings - the time when people have not come up with the architecture and just create yourself out of scrap materials refuge from the cold and rain. And yet Fujimori and his supporters united in a group ROJO Roadway Observation Society, traveled to Japan and photographed "roadside architecture" - buildings, the creation of which is not a hand no architect. In the end, inspired by his research, Fujimori began to design and build itself - made of wood, charcoal, earth, stone and other natural materials rough. And, in my opinion, quite successfully.

And here again the restaurant. But this time in New Zealand. Called Yellow Treehouse (Yellow tree house):



In Russian, the phrase "yellow house" means the first, perhaps, of all psychiatric hospital. Interestingly, in New Zealand there is something similar? Hmm ... Restaurant "Yellow tree house" is fixed on a powerful tree trunk at a height of 10 meters. Not too high, in general.

Restaurant by day:



Interior:





But - "Scope of the Free Spirit» (Free Spirit Spheres) - Development of a Canadian designer Tom Chadleya (Tom Chudleigh):



This hrenovina easily transported on a trailer and the usual suspended to all three is strong enough.





Can be used instead of a tent in a relatively long forays into the countryside. In the internal equipment "Sphere free spirit" is focused on the free spirit of a Western-style - it has a refrigerator, microwave, electric heating. Interior sphere looks like:



Tom Chudleigh, by the way, sells these areas. At 35-150 thousand dollars.

The German company Baumraum designs and builds tree houses across Europe. Here is one of their creations:



Finally, the world's largest tree house is in England, in the county of Northumberland, Alnwick gardens. Its area is 557 square meters and a half (6,000 square feet), it settled on a 120-seat restaurant, shop and two classrooms.



So we, too - newspaper "Board" (distributed in Protvino, Pushchino and Serpukhov) for October 11, 2006 wrote:

Imagine, people living in the trees, and there Serpukhov. Their homes you see in the photos, which were made in the streets and the street Krupskaya Rakov. Generally, in this way in Serpukhov love to entertain teenagers. For example, the "tree house" outside Rakov initially built local youngsters. But then, they say, housing has attracted local homeless. Those distribute the wood harvested in the trashcan trash and do not hesitate to leave under the tree "products of their livelihoods." So now the boys come to disdain built their "house". But who and how to live in the "high-rise" on a tree in the yard on the street. Krupskaya, could not figure out.

Well, who else would argue that people do not live in trees?
