Grafting trees from top to trunk or vice versa and allowing them to hang around on the sides, the mechanism patiently awaits for them to mature to full strength. Next, in order to prevent these stout branches from growing further, the roots are cut off. Though Arbo-architecture involves incisive gardening skills, the outcome compensates for all efforts. The compatible and unitary meander of branches goes on to style a breathtaking architecture.<\/p><div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Projects (accomplished and upcoming):<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greendiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/arbo-architecture_05_fufof_17621_M3idT_11446.jpg\" alt=\"arbo architecture 05 fufof 17621\" title=\"arbo architecture 05 fufof 17621\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>1)\tLake Constance:<\/strong> Here, a group of willows surrounds a metal walkway providing it the much-needed support.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)\tBavarian Forest:<\/strong> A diagonal support frame of trees fashions a bird watching station.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3)\tStuttgart Pavilion:<\/strong> One-year-old, 10 meters tall willows have been used to construct and support the pavilion.
