to investigate the characteristics of a tree it might be of use to approach it with primal methods.
as unique as every living being tree no. 050779 even provides a special formation of several thick arms.

given this attribute a broad set of structures seem possible as a complementation addition or intervention.

FORMING 1. a depending structure formed for a certain tree has to react to its unique shape. a form that clasps the tree or is nesting in it might be suiting.

2. the structure itself has to complement the tree not only in its appearance but also in its functionality.

3. it shall not imitate the tree or pretend to be part of it yet be able to be seen as a unique addition to it.

4. the position of what will be a adequat structure has to be reachable by climing the tree itself but not without.

FINDING
the final form is generated around three of the smaller arms of no. 050779. they are the closest together and provide the ideal space in between. in a height of 2,70m the plattform grabs each arm by conically widen the diameter of the arm on a length of 30 cm. it then connects the branches with organic shaped arches building a thin but perfectly stable entity.

the shape of the tree is then subtracted from the form to create a perfect fiting on the branches.

CONSTRUCTION using plywood measuring 12mm in thickness allows slicing the form into 67 layers and 104 unique shapes, defining a spacing of 12mm between each layer.

several threaded bars will then connect the layers through the provided drill holes holding braces in between the layers for exact spacing.

PLATFORM no. 050779 the three branches on which the plattform nests project aslope above the nearer ground letting the platform hover above the open field towards the whole tree leans its limbs. turning to the garden, away from the buildings in his back the tree points in a direction which is picked up by the orientation of the layering of the platform. its shape is borrowed from the tree and expanded to create a complimenting form in between its branches which lets one who is eager to climb the tree linger in it and observe the world inside and beneath.
