Shaping nature into new place where we can coexist together in the most non damageable, healthy way
You know those Japanese squared melons. They created those by putting melons in a square box and let it grow into that shape. So my idea would be to make, for example a shell of a table and let a strong plant grow into the shape. So you could have a sustainable table made out of a beautiful living tree and there would be nothing damaging about it. Make a garden or place completely out of nature, with human designs integrated. Using nature in its purest healthiest form and live together with it.

Shaping nature into a new place where we can coexist together in the most non damageable, healthy way.
I remember when I was younger I would easily reconnect with nature as if it was my second home. I would climb up to trees and pretend that this tree would be my home and so did my friends. Everyone had their own tree, that was their own home. we used tree trunk as our table to eat on. And pretended to make soup by taking mud stirring in it and adding some stones and sand as seasoning. I projected my comfortable home situation into nature itself, as if it was my own little house!
You see those amazing pictures of nature taking over buildings. And regaining oneself again. It is beautiful to see that nature is healing and rebuilding again. I also really like the fact that there is a mix of human involvement. Nature took shape of objects that humans left behind. And I would like to shape something similar but in an ecological way!
My idea is to make a garden or place completely out of nature, with human designs integrated. As if we would work together to build an amazing place.

But instead use nature in its purest healthiest form and live together with it.

It is very sustainable, because we would use nature itself in a non harmful way. we would simply use a shell of for example furniture and let the plant/tree grow into it. so you could have a shape a whole place with the help of nature.
It can be used on every place without issue as long as nature is able to grow in that place. aesthetic wise it would be just amazing and super pleasing to the eye. you would only see the color pallet of nature itself. It would a dream place to admire. (Like those pictures of nature taking over buildings). the experience for people would be really fun and happy. To have your own tree house but with a modern twist to it would be irresistible! the inner child would be able to reconnect with nature again.
If you would sell the shells that would be very accessible to everyone. because all you have to do is raise a plant into shape and you have yourself a sustainable place. as for affordable, buying plants would not be an issue. but the shell itself could have a bit of a higher price. i would also want to have the shell made out of ecological products.
you would not need to cut trees to make tables or chairs. but instead we would use nature without damaging it. the more plants and trees we grow the better for society! Be aware that insects or other living things may want to live with you. So you would be sharing your place with them.
I'm just a freshly graduated art student with an idea as concept. I work alone and had this amazing vision that i would like to share and see it come true with help.
I am an animation film graduate and have a very imaginative, creative vision to things. the key founder of animation is japan and all my inspiration comes from there. It is the help of Japanese influence that i would use those idea's and use it for a bigger plan.
I haven't seen anyone do this yet (or haven't heard of it yet) so i think my concept is a fresh idea that could work. And is a different kind of way of building things instead of the traditional way.
if we give a blueprint of those shells to other places, they could start and make their own designs. imagen what local plants can do, and different texture and designs would come out of it in every country.
places that would be hard to grow nature in. We could already grow some stuff and ship it off to them already prepared. so they only have to water it/keep it alive.
