Spheres of different sizes are poured into a vibrating container to self-sort. Over time and with the right amount of energy, precise arrangement emerges. The sorted arrangement can be used as a mold for a perforated shell structure when filled with concrete or a skeletal structure by connecting the center of the spheres with steel beams. This project points towards new possibilities for industrial-scale fabrication.

There are four layers include Ground, Under storey, Canopy, Emerge. The ground layer is for tree nursery, bat habitat and waste collector on understorey layer, Bird habitat on canopy layer, and solar power on the emerge layer.  This device not only design for animal to live, but also influence the tree growth and includes extensions tools for tree harvesting and decomposing.

Details of extensions tools.
