Dodecahedron Tree

The Dodecahedron Tree is a vertical trellis structure based on a modular dodecahedral geometry. It is designed to support climbing plants in three dimensions, allowing greenery to grow upward, outward, and around the structure.

At its core, the system uses interconnected circular rings arranged in a dodecahedral configuration. This geometry provides structural stability while remaining open and permeable for plant growth, light, and air. The result is a lightweight framework that defines space without enclosing it.

The structure grows through modular repetition. Additional units can be stacked vertically to increase height or attached laterally to expand volume. Even a small configuration can develop into a dense green structure over time, adapting to different spatial conditions and site constraints.

Immediately after installation, the Dodecahedron Tree reads as a clear architectural object. As climbing plants establish themselves, the structure gradually transforms. Over the course of several growing seasons, foliage fills the volume, creating shade, improving microclimate conditions, and softening the geometry.

The Dodecahedron Tree functions as an independent element of urban design. It can be placed in plazas, parks, courtyards, or streetscapes where trees are not feasible or where rapid greening is required. Structure and plant work together as a single system, combining architectural clarity with living growth.
