Скачать или смотреть Insect Architects: The Surprising Origin of Modern Engineering | SLICE EARTH | FULL DOC

Throughout history, mankind has been inspired by insects themselves, their structures and nests, to make our own creations.

Engineers and architects owe many of their breakthroughs to the honeycomb of bees, to spiders’ webs, to the air-conditioning systems of termite hills or to the layout of underground ant cities.

Insects are capable of collectively building nests of extraordinary complexity and ingenuity, making them genuine “architect insects”.
