Author's Report:
The trees are located 0.5 km and 0.6 km from the nearest bank. Access to them is provided by a footbridge that is 2 cm below the water level. There are several reasons for this: the footbridge should not unnecessarily distract attention from the trees and the immediate area around them; the path to the trees should not be unpleasant in any way.
The footbridge near the tree rises above the water level and forms an irregular quadrilateral around the trees. The directions of the sides of the quadrilaterals symbolically point towards significant locations near the waterworks.
The trees are not intentionally within reach.
The structure is made of oak wood, which is not susceptible to the aquatic environment. The surface is textured to prevent slipping.

Assignment:
The space within the crown of the tree - as a distinct category, a space for expressing emotion, a space for dreaming, sulking, meditation. A space as an elemental expression of the coexistence of humans and nature.
Find a tree in your vicinity, near your home, or anywhere, and design a physical space within it that will serve as your temporary shelter.
The tree can be a solitary one or a group. The size of the space is not limited, but it must not have any infrastructure amenities, i.e., water or electricity connections are not allowed.
The function of the space is related to its location and construction; it is strictly individual.
Everything is allowed, you can utilize the terrain or nearby objects, or anything else.
It is prohibited to in any way interfere with the body of the tree, i.e., using nails, drilling, chopping, or employing other invasive methods.
