Architecture is an art that balances functionality, beauty, innovation and tradition. It gives us stuff like this:

American Robin Summer House, Keremeos

Grass and mud living quarters, decorated with binder twine and resting on an anti-shock foundation of packing foam, tarp shreds, bubble wrap, and greenhouse plastic in an old Summer Red Apple Tree.

Compare:

Human View Houses in the Fog Okanagan Landing

Hmmm.
