Roots draw warmth

from the earth flowing

up concrete trunks that

transport resources to

and from the dwellings,

providing the

inhabitants with

essential nutrients.

Metal leaves catch water,

channelling it into the

roots for STorage and

recycling.

The canopies are

nurtured, branches and

leaves STretch out from

the trunk expanding

space as the community

it holds evolves.

Elevation gives a level of

separation and privacy

form the intense

publicity of the ground,

allowing inhabitants to

observe or ignore the

movement below.

Below the trees people

pass amongST the urban

floor moving between

zones, in and out of the

dappled shadows of the

canopies and light filled

clearings of concrete
