The buildings inspired by termite mounds
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
These tiny, wood-eating nuisances are vastly superior civil engineers compared to most humans. Termite mounds utilize a highly sophisticated system of vents and chimneys that passively regulate interior airflow, keeping the temperature stable regardless of the blistering African heat. Modern architects have literally modeled high-rise buildings after termite mounds to save millions on air conditioning costs.
