Built By Animals
Christiane Dorion, illustrated by Yeji Yun
Built By Animals looks at structures made by animals and the ways their building methods have informed human construction. It includes termite mounds whose scale, compared with their builders, surpasses that of a skyscraper, along with intricate nests created by social birds and spiders’ lethal traps. The book connects these animal constructions with materials and techniques used in modern building, placing animal engineering alongside human technology.
