Zvířecí stavitelé - Poznejte tvory, kteří inspirovali naše domy a města – Dorion Christiane (2023)

Animal Builders is a continuation of the book Animal Inventors and introduces us to creatures that inspired us in the creation of materials and techniques we use today in the field of construction. ***** Meet the authors of great building technologies. They were brought to life with humor by Yeji Yun and expertly explained by educator Christiane Dorion. ***** In this book, you will dive into the world of biomimicry and find answers to questions such as: * How can we harness more energy from the sun to power our homes? * How can we grow plants in the desert? * How can we pump water to the top of very tall buildings? * How can we clean polluted rivers? ***** We start with the shape of a honeycomb, which strengthens various structures, to termites that build their nests with natural air conditioning – these creatures were the first to manage it! And at the end of the book, you will find out which animal wins the grand prize among animal builders! Will it be a prairie dog, a peacock, a beaver, or a firefly? ***** The book Animal Builders explores the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a descriptive and simple way, showing children how we can draw inspiration in architecture while respecting nature.
