TREE SHAPING TECHNIQUES
Abstract
The paper is dealt with the issues of arborsculpture, the art of forming the desired shape of woods which is being intensively developed. However, analysis found in the literature states that there are no sufficient studies into the tree shaping techniques. For the first time, all known arborsculptural creations are presented herein together with the analysis of their humanization in relation to woody plants. The obtained results promote recommendations for arborsculpture design (project stage) in the town-planning.
