Animales arquitectos. By Juhani Pallasmaa.
Spanish language. Editorial GG, Mar 2020.
"The human being is not the only architect animal. Construction habits can be found in practically the entire animal kingdom, from protozoa to primates.
Dazzled since childhood by the architectural work of other animals, Juhani Pallasmaa analyzes in this book the constructive activity of numerous species, focusing on the functions of architectural works and construction methods.
The text, illustrated with beautiful engravings from the nineteenth century, invites us to reposition the architectural work of the human being in the light of the creations of other living beings and to rethink the essence of one of the animal activities where necessity and inventive capacity are combined with perfection".Pick by Vanessa Alfaro
