Ode aan de boom en foto's van bomen
Bomen zijn een essentieel onderdeel van onze natuur. Ze voorzien ons van zuivere lucht. We kunnen er brandhout voor de open haard, meubels om spullen in op te bergen, deuren om van de ene ruimte naar de andere te gaan en nog veel van maken.

The relatively small structure serves as a showcase for the unusual shapes and angles that architectural critics had admired in her conceptual work throughout the 1980's, with un-built projects such as her winning entry for the Peak International Design Competition for Hong Kong in 1983. It was constructed with a working firehouse within the Vitra furniture design and manufacturing complex (it needed such a structure after a fire some years earlier), the building was intended to serve all of Vitra's buildings which at the time fell outside the range of neighboring fire districts.
