Troncos de árboles como Vigas de Casas.House logs and beams. Houselog beam. In the future, we could build communities or peoples, based on planned homes, whose foundations
are TREES.
far if relacionábamos house and tree, we thought of a toy house installed by parents to their children at the top of a tree and served them play games.
I designed arboreal communities, which are structural bases in the trunks of trees.
To develop this idea, we need time, because the trees have to grow a suitable tree type according to the biotope of the area, the construction and planning.
itself would be a living community, because the house would be alive, evolving in parallel with the growth of the tree, so I would have to be constantly reformed, based on the life of the trees that have a tightening effect.
The idea is simple, it comes to planning, planting suitable trees in a planned grid, so that logs serve us, vertical beams, submitted to the homes of their movements over time, but instead would live in absolute harmony with nature.
Then I show you a list of trees with straight trunk and spread across the globe, here are some that we could serve:
- Cancharana: Tree : is a subtropical tree, about 28 meters high and 0.95 meters in trunk diameter (approximately). Leafy crown, deciduous leaves and small flowers greenish white. The trunk is usually long and straight, with thick and rough bark. Belongs to the family of missionary cedar, and has many similarities with it. Wood: wood is semi-hard and moderately heavy, with a specific gravity of 0.65. Dark reddish brown, with streaks and sheen. It's a lot like the cedar woods missionary, with similar mechanical properties, ideal for general carpentry.
- Cedar: Tree: is a subtropical tree of about 30 meters high and 1.20 meters in diameter around the trunk. Leafy crown, deciduous leaves and small white flowers. The trunk is usually long and straight, with rough bark deep grooves arranged longitudinally. Wood: The wood is moderately light with a specific gravity of 0.55. Reddish brown, with streaks, and a very nice soft golden glow. This wood has excellent dimensional stability and good mechanical properties. Making it ideal for furniture, musical instruments, coatings, lathe, etc ... Note: It should be noted that we are talking about missionary cedar, subtropical climates. And also There are other species of the conifer family (as Pino ) called Cedar, whose wood is light brown and resinous.
- Guatambú: Tree: is a subtropical tree, about 23 meters high and 0.75 meters in trunk diameter (approximately) . Globosa cup with trifoliate leaves dark green, with a long trunk, straight and cylindrical. Wood: is a semi-hard wood with a specific gravity of 0.81. White - very light yellow veins and even soft. The wood is very good performance with outstanding flexibility. It is used for veneers, panels, lathing, curved parts, etc. Not very resistant to the intemperieNota: It is clear that we are talking about the White Guatambú, which is the most exploited at industrial level. Since there is also Guatambú Amarillo, which belongs to the family of white Quebracho
- Incense: Tree: is a subtropical tree, about 25 feet high, and 1.10 meters in trunk diameter (approximately). Bit wide cup with alternate compound leaves and flowers are greenish yellow girls gathered in clusters. The trunk is quite straight, with thick and rough bark. Wood: wood is hard, strong and tough, with a specific gravity of 0.85. Reddish brown color, pleasant aroma, nice veins well marked, with excellent mechanical properties, good stability and excellent resistance to weathering. It is an excellent wood, multiple applications
- Lapacho: Tree: is a beautiful tree to 35 m high, trunk straight cylindrical and cup variable, which in late winter it can be seen full of pink flowers, standing out from the other trees that bloom later. It is native to southern Brazil, Paraguay and northern Argentina. Wood: wood is very hard and heavy, with a specific gravity of 1.02. Yellow-green, veins less pronounced and very pleasing to the eye. It has a high resistance to wear, weathering, and impact. For these properties is widely used in construction to the elements, as well as carpentry, lathing and others. It is difficult to work due to extreme dureza.Nota: It is clear that we are talking about the Black Lapacho, there is the Pink Lapacho
- Mora: Tree: In subtropical climates, native to northern Argentina, is a tree that reaches 20 feet fairly straight trunk, with alternate leaves are light green. Wood: The wood is hard and heavy, with a specific gravity of 0.9, and good flexibility. Yellowish brown, soft, straight grain and uniform. The wood is very resistant and stable. It is used in parts requiring a good finish, such as flooring, furniture, woodturning, etc. It is also used for boats and buildings in the open because of its high resistance to humedad.Nota: It is clear that we speak of the Mora Amarilla, since there are other varieties such as Red Mora, with similar characteristics, or the White Mora fruits edible timber that provides good quality lighter
- Palo Blanco: Tree: is a tree about 30 m high, trunk straight, cylindrical, and deciduous almost opposite, dark green oval. A native of northwestern Argentina, in mountain areas can be up to 900 meters above sea level. Wood: Wood obtained is hard and heavy, with a specific gravity of 0.85. Clear yellowish streaks even texture and slightly marked. With good dimensional stability and excellent resistance to bending, making it ideal split steam bent pieces. It is also an excellent wood lathe for small parts, such as broom handles, buttons, pieces of chess.
- Pino Elliottii: a tree trunk is very straight and cylindrical, which can reach 35 feet, collard flexible dark green leaves. Originally from the southeastern United States, and adaptable to all types of soils and climates. Supports very well the frost and strong heat. Cultivated with remarkable success in Central and Northern Argentina. Wood: wood is soft and light, with a specific gravity of 0.46. Yellow brown, with streaks and frequent presence of darker knots. The wood is stable multiple applications, such as trinary, coatings, concrete construction, plywood, pulp, etc. Not support much in the open, requiring some type of preservative treatment (such as CCA) for these cases.
- Pino Paraná: is a tree that can reach 40 meters high with a trunk up to five feet in diameter and live to 300 years. Large umbrella-shaped crown, with alternate leaves eespiraladas sharp, and trunk length, straight, cylindrical. It is native to northeastern Brazil and Argentina. Wood: Provides soft and light wood, good quality, with a specific gravity of 0.5. White - yellow, with couples and visible veins. This wood is also often called Pino Brazil, and has multiple applications.
- Pino Taeda : is a great tree, cone-shaped crown and long flexible leaves light green Its trunk is long, straight, and cylindrical. Native to southeastern United States. It is notable for its rapid growth, and growth in Pino similar to Elliottii. Wood: Provides soft and light wood, with a specific gravity of 0.46, similar in appearance and features to Elliottii Pino. Not support much in the open, requiring some type of preservative treatment (such as CCA) for these cases.
now possible to leave an example of planning for these communities or populations alternatives:
Maybe this time I fantasized about and I've spent too much thread, but could be an alternative or a futuristic new way to spend long holiday or a new alternative way of life.
Greetings!
