Tree Huts

Is this New York City’s attempt at affordable housing in the midst of a recession? Are these built for some type of conservation project? Is this some type of art form?  After further investigation, the tree huts were created by Tadashi Kawamata to display his interest in forms of shelter and his interest of inserting private objects into the public realm.

Although, a picture is worth a million words it is better to visit these structures at Madision Square Park in New York City. The background view of the modern buildings with such simple structures creates a nice visual contrast.  Children and parent seemed enthralled by the tree huts.
