Animal architecture represents a diverse and sophisticated set of behaviours through which organisms shape their environments to meet essential biological needs. Although the term “architecture” is often associated with human construction, many animal species construct structures that rival against human engineering  in complexity, efficiency, and ecological impact. These constructions—whether grown, woven, excavated, or collectively engineered—demonstrate how evolution produces functional design without conscious planning. Across the…

We learnt that engineering failures usually happen because a lot of small issues build up instead of one big mistake. When looking at the Tacoma Narrows bridge, we saw how something as normal as wind could cause a collapse just because it matched the bridge’s natural frequency. From Grenfell, we learnt how important proper materials and safety checks are, and how quickly things can…
