The Fusca and The Beetles

Are insects important to Architecture and Design? Yes, they are!

Look at the picture! It's a famous car called 'Fusca' in portuguese. but 'Beetle' in English, because its design was inspired by the insect. In the past, the armors and helmets of soldiers were also inspired by insects, because of the shape and the protection it gave.

Design and Architecture inspired by insects are everywhere!

  • Have you noticed how similar the tunnels in our roads are similar to the ones in ants and termite nests?
  • Ants can build bridges too! When they join their bodies or pieces of wood they find in nature!
  • Chemical products, like cement and other important materials for construction!

Where else can you see similarities between insects and objects in our community?
