بلاخره این کار خوب رو یکی باید انجام می داد!
خیلی پیش قریب به چهارسال پیش مقالاتی رسمی در باب معماری زنده دیدم که محور همه‌ی اون ها طراحی فضاهایی با عناصر زنده و رشدکننده‌ی گیاهی بود. اون طرح ها همه به دنبال رسیدن به ساختارهایی هم‌سو با محیط زیست و درعین حال تحول یابنده بودند و نگاه های متعددی عقبه‌ی فکری هر کدوم از اون طرح ها بود. اما از اون روز تا به حال اقدام عملی جدی برای رسیدن به این گونه طرح ها در بین تحولات عرصه هنر و طراحی ندیدم.
اما بلاخره یک کار عملی -هرچند ابتدایی و نسبی- رخ داد و اون چه تعجب‌آورتر بود این بود که استودیوی visiondivision چنین پیش‌قدمی رو به عهده گرفت! استودیویی که با سابقه‌ای که از طراحی‌‌هاش دارم به قاعده نباید به چنین کار خوبی می پرداخت! :)

stockholm-based visiondivision conducted a week-long workshop at the politecnico di milano,
in milan, italy, in which guest professors conducted an exploration for students to consider
the impact of the fast-paced lifestyle on ecology and environmental issues in architecture.
the result was 'the patient gardener', a structure consisting of ten japanese cherry trees which is
the main building material for the construction of a two-story retreat. bending, twisting,
pruning and grafting will be used to control and develop the growth of the building over time.
the trees, chosen because of the time of year and good suitability for the project,
were planted around in an 8 meter diameter ring.

to assist in the bending of the trees, a temporary tower stands in the center with ropes attached to the plants,
pulling them gently to create a bend in the trunk as it grows. the stairs, handrails and safety features
will be grafted from fruit trees, generating food simultaneously.

a simple maintenance plan and instructs will be passed on to future gardeners. the final result can be
enjoyed on the campus within 80 years.
