it sounds really dumb, imagine the complexity of supply chain production processes that result in building materials for normal houses, now imagine doing all that on site, it's a bad take honestly

A tree builds atomically precise far more advanced solar energy collectors and pipes on site and can stand for thousands of years. But it is limited by evolution. The tree could be 100x stronger than steel and taller than the tallest building with unevolvable nanostructured carbon. But it is unevolvable but not undesignable, we humans can engineer biology far past the limits of evolution.
