"Days of future passed: Predictions that stil have potential
Grow your own buildings MIT architect Mitchell Joachim has been working on a building called the Fab Tree Hab, which is constructed out of living trees. These trees are physically bound together to form a solid structure. The next step would be to genetically engineer a tree to grow in the shape of a house.
The tree would form walls and floors as it matured, and grow a new extension every year."
