ARCHITECTURE FOR THE BIRDS AND INSECTS

Architecture is inhabited sculpture.

Constantin Brancusi

 










Termite mounds and the underground nests of leaf cutter ants are long lasting. The structures of social insects may last a season or a few years but most of the nests and habitations of birds and insects are ephemeral.  So much labor on their part, carving out spaces in the earth or assembling what is on hand.
