Current human building techniques universally implement dead or artificial material, which has little or no interaction with its surroundings. In complete contradiction, modern ecological points of view focus on the interaction between organisms and their environment, human beings not being excepted from this rule.
The Advantages of Plantware:
 Plantware creations are good for the atmosphere.
Plantware is easy to utilize in places that modern building techniques find difficult (forested areas, cliff faces, etc).
Plantware is inexpensive. Most of a Plantware structure’s mass comes from water and air.
Plantware requires less maintenance. Living trees can take care of themselves. They react to
mechanical stress (strong winds, earth tremors) and heal themselves from injury (bruising and cracking).
