TREE PLAY The tree house is classically conceived as a clever exploitation of the tree as a structural element in the provision of human shelter.

BUILDING COMMUNITY WITH STRAW BALES Tons of straw are produced each year as a by-product of grain production. Modern wheat farmers burn straw, but for thousands of years straw and other grasses have been valued as a building material around the world, whether thatched into roofs, woven into walls, or mixed with mud to strengthen bricks and stucco.
