Are Future Houses Grown? A Bold Conception and Design

In the future, common people can "build" houses by planting, this is the conception and design of MIT architect Mitchell Joachim and his team. The basic method is to plant trees, then shape them during their early growth stage. After a period of time, the trees will grow in an artificial tropical rainforest environment, and finally when the trees mature, houses can be built on their basis. This process takes 10-20 years to complete, and I dare say that if this plan is adopted at that time, many rich people's villas will have to be demolished. Different from ordinary tree houses, the plan named the Fab Tree Hab is a completely green and all-inclusive project. The walls and windows inside the house are made of artificial plant materials, and the windows are processed from leguminous plants. This not only protects the environment but also keeps the house cool in summer, saving air conditioning and reducing pollution. Its water supply, heating, and even wastewater discharge are achieved through natural climate and plants.
