maintenance
:
counterforce lab holds the responsibility of maintaining the treehouse, which we will coordinate with the site’s landscapers, and ornithologists on our research teams. structural maintenance is required once a year and will be undertaken by the counterforce team. we will conduct ecological maintenance (sanitation and cleaning bird droppings, etc.) on a quarterly basis. plant and tree maintenance will be done in coordination with the site’s landscapers.
we will be going through the permitting and safety requirements process on our prototype treehouse and will bring that knowledge to bear in all future treehouse installations, including at hola.
biophilia treehouse is a project by counterforce lab.
the counterforce lab is an initiative by professor rebeca méndez. it is a research and fieldwork studio based in the design media arts department at ucla, dedicated to using art and design to develop creative collaborations, new fields of study, and methods to research, create, and execute projects that investigate and mitigate the social and ecological concerns of the anthropocene era, a time when human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment.
