2017, Year when Hyper-Tree takes-off?

. Project Name 
Hyper-Tree

. What is the Hyper-Tree process?
Build architecture with living trees: we can obtain a tree of *any* shape and *any* size within an estimated 3 years

. Why build with living trees? 
Cities are where we live, and where the pollution is -> cities are where we should plant forests to clear the air and mitigate climate changes.
There is scarcely any other space left than buildings: on their roofs and skins...

. Our scope of work
We imagine, design, build and manage Hyper-Trees -> buildings built partially or in their entirety with living trees. 

. Current actions (2017):
- build a tree nursery
- plant collaboratively Bangkok's first vertical forest
- product development: "Roof Shelter Kit"

. Is there a prototype yet?
 We are currently discussing with potential partners and growing the trees we'll use for these first prototypes, somewhere in 2018-2020
