This October 2007 the 31st Annual Jakupca Family Reunion was held at the 'ARK in BEREA'. It uses ICEAlity to build a turkish style treehouse between two trees called the EAGLES NEST. The historic ARK in Berea is the first structure recognized in Ohio to incorporate sustainable building concepts from the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Hand built in 1994 as a work of art by the "Spiritual Father of the Environmental Art Movement" David Jakupca. It is a design study for future buildings and for the global headquarters of the International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) and Cleveland’s Eco Village. A hybrid structure utilizing cob, straw bales, aluminum cans, used tires, and recycled construction materials, the ARK stands for -Architektur Recycled Kulturstall. It helps to address the environmental problems through ICEAlity of large urban areas and the trend of rebuilding rather than remodeling existing structures. The ARK is used as a museum, community center, and art studio of American Cultural Ambassadors David and Renate Jakupca. It is registered with the Berea Historical Society, Western Reserve Historical Society and the Ohio Historical Society. www.BereaBuzz.com
