Living Bridges of Meghalaya







Definitely one for assembly. These bridges are grown over many generations' lifetimes from special vine roots to withstand serious river flooding.


Reminds me of the art work of Andy Goldsworthy but also of ideas I have had in the past of how plantlife could be used in this way to overcome lack of resources for building.

Like Andy Goldworthy's work, these seem more asthetic than funtionary.


Will we one day be able to grow our homes?
