- Randle's vision of a living willow dome was brought to life by the talented sculptor Tom Hare. Located on the island of project Riverdance, the structure will provide a unique and tranquil space for our client to enjoy the beauty of nature.

What a cool structure. The willow farm has videos that show exactly how they "farm" willow, how they make living structures with the willow, how to manage the willows... they grow a number of cultivars. Quite interesting, though I can't recall the name of the channel.
This would be a tremendous amount of maintenance with how fast willows grow , how much willows sucker and how prone to insects and disease they are. I would like to see updates on the reality of this project in the future.
Idk we built one at my school when I was younger. All I can remember is that they pruned it to shape once a year. Was there for at least 10 years before they removed it.
I'd want to grow it into a willow mansion
Wow !😍
What happened with this structure??
Can we get an update? How does it look now??
its very beautiful now
Love what you've done but looks like you've missed an opportunity to speed it up.
you could have willow potted hanging off of hooks off the metal frame carrying willow up and over the entire structure in one year instead of many. Then you could cut the route and pot off and just be left with grafted willow the whole length of the structure.
I would love to see the end result! Looks amazing even now at the start
Some people talk a lot, but don’t say much
Sorry, can't listen to the voices because the music gets in the way...
Willow is such an incredible plant. Too bad you can't plant it too close to houses as it will damage the foundations.
Beautiful!
Tree Fountain (aka Tree of Life)
1- Bore a hole into and up a tree being careful not to bisect the core of the tree.
Alternative: Use bamboo or grow sugar cane as a natural and permeable plumbing and cultivate it so that the tree grows around it.
2- Coat the inside of the hole with beeswax. I would highly recommend making a place to put a beehive in the tree near some water. The natural hum of the bees can promote health throughout the structure and through the water.
3- Put a water basin at the top and a fire pit or fireplace at the bottom.
The water basin can actually be used for a secondary water source that would promote growth and potentially allow for the tree to grow taller.
4- Put copper pipe around the inside of the fire pit or up the chimney for a fireplace. This will act as a pump. (You can also use a hotplate if you prefer) The copper pipe should only be used close to the intense heat of the fire. Any amount of heat promotes upward movement in this case.
5- Add water wheels (fidget spinners can be used for some decent mini water wheels) for electricity. This electricity can also be used to promote growth in the structure and in gardens. Check out how electricity is used to directly and drastically improve plant growth.
6- Add hanging gardens for fresh produce. A vertical style garden will do several things to improve overall health and productivity.
7- Splice other saplings and/or fresh tree cuttings using the tongue and groove method for shelter. This can be done with roots as well as branches. Encouraging roots to intermingle and cultivating a healthy mycelium bed are both ways that allow all the plants to share nutrients and different forms of protection. This would create a natural network that can be used similar to a computer for both the plants and people if a computer interface is plugged into the chemical language of the plants.
This design provides food, filtered and conditioned water and air, electricity, shelter and SO much more! Everything a person needs for life and survival. Hence the "Tree of Life" nickname!
In addition to the benefits listed and the techniques described, this structure will grow and get stronger over time.
Crystals can be used as a natural source of low level energy creation and as forms of transistors.
Cymatics can be used as a form of communication directly with the plants.
There is SOOOOO much more that can be done using this method for creating structures and homes BECAUSE it is living.
-This idea will eliminate 90% of the demand for large corporations and industries.
- This idea will reverse air pollution and filter the world's air naturally and beneficially.
- This idea will reveal the counterproductivity of governments and starve the governments of their power. Your fear and desperation.
There will be no need to clear cut entire forests to build ever again and this will encourage the natural ecology in our world instead of fighting with it.
Be a part of the change.
Not a part of the problem through government.
We have made excuses for ignoring the fact that we are supporting all the problems we state we are against. Let's be the change!!!
Starting in spring. Wanna do Everything you said
Hello randle . I am trying to search Marcel Calbera the inspiration for this design but was unable to find him on google. Could you help me out. Thanks !
Hiya his name is spelled Marcel Kalberer
