Joachim’s vision an idea called pleaching (编织), where tree branches are grown so that they weave together. Since the growth patterns of trees are by wind and sunlight, it may be to control the way a tree develops.

These Fabricated Tree House Habitats would use trees grown into shapes as housing. One of the of these designs is that trees would not have to be cut down .

“A 100 percent tree houses would take to create,” Joachim said. the climate, a house could take anywhere from 5 to 30 years to grow. Fortunately, there’s a way to the process. Joachim suggests including materials such as sod (草皮), grasses and living branches in the housing designs. “This material would be able to move the house grows,” Joachim said.

A home would become an actual ecosystem. The trees would also give off water vapor that would assist in the homes. Solar panels and wind would help provide .The tree homes might even have soil pockets, plants could grow from the structure itself.

【解析】

建筑师Mitchell Joachim对树屋颇有研究，他认为可以用生长的树木编织房屋，这样的房屋不用将树砍倒来取木材，可以通过太阳能电池获取能量，树木自身的水蒸气还可以使树屋内非常凉爽。

【1】D 建筑师Mitchell Joachim的看法却与众不同。根据下文的叙述可知，他的房屋设计思路与众不同。similar相似的，excellent优秀的，strange奇怪的，different不同的。根据语境可知，D项正确。

【2】A 他设想将来能用生长着的树建造房子。下文介绍了利用正在生长的树编制房屋的设想。
