In terms of use and design this special architectural discipline is full of surprises. The projects assembled for this volume show the present extraordinary treehouse variety. While natural motifs like nests, cocoons or caves are frequently employed, references to UFOs as well as other futuristic styles influence design fantasy shall know no bounds.

His improbable quest—to create a reference volume specific to his existence—takes him on a journey down the river by raft (see MYSTICAL VISION, see NAVIGATING BIG RIVERS BY NIGHT). He seeks to discover how his mother died (see ABSENCE) and find reasons for his father’s disappearance (see UNCERTAINTY, see VANITY). But as he goes about defining his changing world, all kinds of extraordinary and wonderful things happen to him. Unlocking an earnest, clear-eyed way of thinking that might change your own, A Key to Treehouse Living is a story about keeping your own record straight and living life by a different code.
