From Patrick Doughterty’s website
“Dougherty’s works allude to nests, cocoons, hives, and lairs built by animals, as well as the manmade forms of huts, haystacks, and baskets, created by

Nils Udo is a bavarian eco-artists. A quote from Nils Udo:

Here’s a quick link to an article about a guy who did a treehouse internship:
“I had a six-month internship over the summer,” he said. “I did drafting, design drawing and some deck and platform construction.”
During the internship, Yorke helped build five treehouses in the Seattle area. The company’s clientele, he said, consists of two types […]
Here is a ‘flying machine’ that can be described as a ‘flying jelly fish’. It is made by the company Festo
Though I am not sure it could be used for personal travel, perhaps it does have uses for repairing things at high altitude.
