Mesmerizing Cathedral Made of living trees

people to breathe the existence in their function are rare. Italian artist Giuliano Mauri developed an wonderful breath Cathedral. "Cattedrale Vegetale" is a proof that human architecture does not have to oppose the nature, really the contrary. - They complement every other must

This cathedral is the building of 42 columns, formed by weaving more than 600 received chestnut and hazelnut branches about a 800 fir poles, the branches curved at the front, to the to type arches. The frame pillars will rot sooner or later, and the trees will outgrow the frame, generating a totally all-all-natural wall and roof. It is normally Gothic, but is unlike any other Cathedral.

Sadly Mauri died in 2009 and unstoppable to see his fantastic artwork. But his perform never cope and will adjust in line with the seasons.
