The concept of a tree house has been well discovered before humans ever build modern homes suited to their lifestyle. A home is a form of place one can identify and interact socially, economically, politically and environmentally. It adequately forms a space that determines their everyday lifestyle and how nature is formed, reproduced and consumed into political space driven with economics. Marxist contextualizes how division of labour is the fundamental concept that creates capitalism, whereby places are formed differently through spatial and temporal scale.
In science of futuristic homes, the idea of, "The Living Tree House" is a different approach that combines science and ecology within the parameter of place and space. It aims to look at alternative living for those who are interested in science integrated with the environment, whereby it can reduce over consumption significantly and promote sustainability. The science of the "The Living Tree House" eliminates, if not, significantly reduce production and consumption being marketed into condos, apartments and houses. This concept of a scientific tree house uses technology to form the main structure of a house by bending the branches and main trunk of a young tree. Over time, the main structure matures and strengthens the main frame of a home. Much like the nomadic people, this idea of a tree house is seen as part of their life style which combines nature and knowledge as means of survival. By using the environment to adapt into a new place, tribes are well equipped to produce in the environmental space. This scientific home illustrate what might become a possibility that will allow us to live much like tribal people who use ecology as a means of sufficiency yet meeting our western lifestyle needs in the near future.
Although, the tree has been long thought of and many designs use for children's play ground, this particular idea derived from that and it is still relatively new concept that one day will become a possibility for people to dwell in.
