Interesting read. For non-readers, the slide show is interesting. Mr Swan might especially like photos 10 and 11 ?

Forester architect? I'm going to need a little more than that. The shot of climbing in the tree blew it for me.
"an architect who may revolutionize the building industry" oh boy. He should get up on this forum and find out.  Pick a topic and fire away.

It's important to think outside the box and I like the
very low environmental impact of the method,
but on a serious note, I think there is some architectural
plagiarism going on here. I believe Johnny Weissmuller
was the first to come up with the idea.
........and if you have to look him up, forgetaboutit. |

I would have to guess that it has been done since early in the history of human civilization.

Next week Scientific American will publish research showing that all timber framers are actually descended from monkeys. THAT would be the time to use your best image. But no. . .you had to blow it now.

I've reached my pinnicle, it's all downhill from here. I'm submitting myself to scientific research. Live like Lord Greystoke amonst the apes! Oops, I may not be done yet. Found another beautiful image that speaks more than I can say.
Peace brothers and sisters!
