Birds’ nests, spiders’ webs, foam houses, wasps’ tunnels are only a few examples of the incredible constructions that nature’s engineers manage to build most of the time unaware of what they’ve accomplished, guided only by mysterious instincts.
Nature equipped them with simple but efficient tools: beaks, legs or other body parts, they are all beautifully trained to fulfil these needs.
To create their masterpieces they use clay, stone, wood and materials they produce themselves, and on this natural base they apply the ingenious techniques of the bricklayer, the plumber, the potter, and the weaver to create an endless and spectacular gallery of large and small wonders of nature.
