Many animals are sources of inspiration in the fields of architecture and building culture. Animals in “Archinature!” encourage visitors to build, to construct and to design, and by doing so to learn about architecture and building culture.
Animals build to protect themselves against the elements and to obtain food. They build places where they can sleep, to impress the opposite sex, and to ensure the safety of their offspring. Their building process is very skilful – a closer look reveals parallels to the way humans build. Or is it the other way around?
Humans have their hands full too. In “Archinature!” visitors can build an igloo or skyscraper. They learn which trades are needed to build a house and how to move their house at a snail’s pace. They can custom design house facades, build domes, construct a tree house, design their favourite wallpaper, manufacture steel and construct special bridges. Visitors start with a vision and end-up with a finished structure!
