通過建筑親近自然有多種形式。有些房屋采用玻璃幕墻，消除了室外和室內(nèi)之間的障礙，然后有些房屋的藍(lán)圖環(huán)繞樹木，將它們的檐篷和樹干融入房屋的布局中。耶路撒冷 Bezalel 藝術(shù)與設(shè)計學(xué)院的學(xué)生設(shè)計師 Omri Cohen 有不同的想法。Cohen 開發(fā)了 Living Shell，這是一種建筑外殼，通過將黃麻、毛氈和小麥草種植成一種織物形式，鋪在竹框架上。

雖然 Living Shell 的功能就像一座房子，但它更有可能為小動物提供天然的避難所，讓它們從那里收集筑巢材料并棲息。此外，Cohen 開發(fā)了 Living Shell，讓城市居民和農(nóng)村農(nóng)民有機會觀察大自然的活動，了解大自然的所有自然生長、再生和腐爛過程。

Getting close to nature through architecture comes in many forms. Some homes take to glass facades, dissolving the barrier between the outdoors and inside, then some homes feature blueprints that wrap around trees, incorporating their canopies and trunks into the lay of the house. Omri Cohen, a student designer at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, has a different idea. Cohen developed the Living Shell, an architectural shell built by growing jute, felt, and wheatgrass into a form of a textile that’s laid over a bamboo frame.

?

Turning to textile technology, Living Shell was born from Cohen’s quest to evolve layers of wheatgrass root systems into elastic, textile materials. Settling on the shell’s curvilinear structural shape, the wheatgrass textile wraps over its bamboo frame, forming layers of insulation and shade while it continues to grow. Cohen found durability in the inexpensive building material he developed from jute, felt, and wheatgrass. Layering the different roots together in a pattern that allows room for sustained growth periods, the textile’s thickness and durability increase over time as the roots continue to interlace and grow. While he has yet to build a life-size Living Shell, Cohen crafted 1:10 models to demonstrate the feasibility of introducing the Living Shell into rural and urban environments alike. Connecting the structure to an irrigation system, the textile overwrap would most likely receive nourishment from a programmed watering method.

?

While Living Shell functions like a house, it would more likely offer natural refuge hubs for small animals to gather nesting materials from and inhabit. Additionally, Cohen developed Living Shell so that urban dwellers and rural farmers have the opportunity to watch nature in action, for all of its natural growth, regenerative, and decay processes.
