5 unusual structures in the giant trees
Some trees have such large sizes that can not build buildings of them, directly to them or by them. Today we tell about the five most visible and striking examples of wooden architecture, the creation of which no tree is not affected.
Bar in the 6000-year-old baobab. South Africa
Baobabs is not only the largest trees in the world, but also the oldest. They can live for several thousand years, while achieving a truly enormous size of the barrel, comparable to the private home. There is such a baobab-record holder in the South African town Modzhadzhiskluf in the Limpopo Province. Famous all over the country it is not only their age of six thousand years (!), But also the fact that in this tree is a bar Sunland Baobab Pub. Of course, much of this institution is outdoors in the shadow of the branches, and in undeveloped kitchen and a small room just a few visitors.
Defenders of Wildlife is not necessary when reading these lines to catch at heart. Nobody caved especially those living within the premises of the baobab. In the trunk of the tree for six thousand years of its existence formed two large natural cavity, which uses its own purposes saloon Sunland Baobab Pub.
Oak Chapel. France
But in a small French village Aluvil-Belfos in Normandy, inside a giant old oak institution located not for sinners. There are two small chapels, one of which originally served as a hermit monk's cell.
Researchers say that this very oak appeared in the ninth century. And the first mention of it dates back to the seventeenth century, when the local abbot decided to experiment by placing inside natural cavities formed due to aging of wood, forty local children. He later ordered to form in one of the great hollows chapel of the Virgin Mary, and the other lived a hermit's father Du Serso.
Wooden houses from Patrick Doherty
American Patrick Dougherty works at the junction of both architecture, sculpture and gardening. He creates incredible buildings and individual figures of trees and shrubs. Moreover, some of them - alive. The erection of the last he goes for many years - in fact specifically planted in the right place plants need to grow.
Of course, in these buildings nobody lives! But parks and open-air museums, where objects are located attribution Patrick Dougherty, using them as landscape architecture - gazebos and pavilions for events.
Hotel Nest. Sweden
In Sweden, for several years there hotel Tree Otel - one of the most unusual hotels in the world, where every room is a unique form of the tree house. And in 2014, this institution opened a new building - The Bird's Nest (Bird's Nest).
This small building looks like a giant jack, located on the tree. To create this effect structure was covered with small branches, the presence of which has been deliberately emphasized architects Inrednin Gsgruppen.
However, the inside is very modern, albeit small, room for up to two guests. And it can get on Applied stairs. Not very convenient, but atmospheric.
Tree-tunnel. California
In the vicinity of the town of Leggett California there is a national park - the area, where there are giant sequoias. And one of the attractions of this place is the so-called tree-chandelier (Chandelier Tree), growing in the middle of the road. However, the passage of cars and people pass, it does not prevent, in fact inside of the plant back in the thirties of the 20th century was broken tunnel.
Leggett town and surrounding villages in the first half of the last century were the centers of production of wood. And this tunnel inside the sequoia was created loggers on the road Avenue of the Giants, named after the huge trees growing along it. Plant, by the way, is still alive, and every season covered by the new foliage.
