Large Home Tree / Ignatov Architects. Architects: Ignatov Architects Location: Varna, Bulgaria Client: George Bonin Project Area: 780 sqm Project Year: 2006-2010 Photographs: Courtesy of Ignatov Architects Commissioned by the well-known art supporter and successful businessman George Bonin and developed by the New York based firm Ignatov Architects, the Home Tree concept is an attempt for defining contemporary, adaptable rural architecture. Its strategy is based on learning from existing trees on site recognizing their natural optimization for the given location and climate. The aim is to align architecture with nature and deliver site-conscious, clean, energy-independent and feasible buildings.

In opposition to the Treehouse typology, which presents parasitic dwellings burdening existing trees, the Home Tree concept focuses on developing free-standing, tree-inspired architecture. Besides the usual residential program, each Home Tree house consists of three integral parts that parallel actual trees: Sewage collection and disposal. Sewage collection and disposal systems transport sewage through cities and other inhabited areas to sewage treatment plants to protect public health and prevent disease. Sewage is treated to control water pollution before discharge to surface waters.[1][2] Collection[edit] Design and analysis of collection systems[edit] Design and sizing of sewage collection systems considers population served, commercial and industrial flows, flow peaking characteristics and wet weather flows.

Combined sewer systems are designed to transport both stormwater runoff and sewage in the same pipe. Separate sanitary sewer systems are designed to transport sewage alone. Although separate sewer systems are intended to transport only sewage, all sewer systems have some degree of inflow and infiltration of surface water and groundwater, which can lead to sanitary sewer overflows. A sewer bed is a piece of land typically used by a municipality for the dumping of raw sewage. History[edit] Premodern systems[edit]

Selected Quote: “I believe our biggest issue is the same issue the whole world is facing, and that’s habitat destruction.” The world’s most pristine forests - Travel - Active Travel. Forests face an age-old problem: they’re worth more dead than alive. For thousands of years humans have slashed and burned their way through millions of acres of wilderness, turning it into farmland, houses, cooking fuel, ships and paper. It’s a wonder a single sapling remains standing. But pristine forests do exist — and you might be surprised to learn where they’re found. In scientific circles, pristine — or “intact” — forests are regions not marked by straight lines like roads, power lines, or seismic surveys for an area of at least 50,000 acres. When visiting their innermost parts, “you get kind of a shiver,” says Alex Boursier, the regional manager for Canada at Rainforest Alliance. “You’ve traveled so deep into the wilderness and can only see a few feet ahead. The key to preserving intact forests is to pinpoint what makes a region unique or essential, says David Seaborg, founder and president of the World Rainforest Fund.
