The idea of climbing a tree for shelter, or just to see the earth from another perspective, is surely as old as humanity. This stunningly illustrated study offers a tour of the best tree houses in the world, some designed by architects, others the work of unknown craftsmen. In times of concern for sustainability and ecological responsibility, the tree house may also be the ultimate symbol of life in symbiosis with nature. Climb into this trove of tree houses and enjoy a new perspective on the world. -- adapted from dust jacket.
