From towering termite mounds to the delicate geometry of honeycombs, insects are some of nature’s most extraordinary builders. This lecture explores the ingenious ways insects design, engineer, and adapt their homes and communities to survive and thrive. Discover how bees, ants, wasps, and other species use teamwork, instinct, and remarkable structural techniques to create nests, hives, and colonies that rival human architecture in complexity and efficiency. Join us for a fascinating look at the intersection of biology, engineering, and design in the miniature world of insect architecture and how insect architecture inspires human art and design.
This lecture is free and open to the public! Registration is not required.
