It’s well known that Sequoia’s are some of the largest and most impressive trees on earth. Their size is legendary, and some can live to be thousands of years old. In a strange concept that borders on science fiction, Evolo talks about merging man with nature, with their Giant Sequoia Skyscraper Concept.  Imagine a man-made structure carefully built inside of a failing sequoia, a tree that is dying either to age or pests or fire damage. The skyscraper-like form factor would allow for many stories of habitability above ground, as well as below, utilizing an underground built space as well. The idea is strange and fascinating, a concept that investigates our relationship to nature, our ability to harness it, but also to potentially prolong it’s life.
