Nature’s beautiful building blocks and why do we not try this style of creating dwellings

The more we look at what insects (or nature) offer the world with millions of years of knowledge behind their daily activities the more I wonder about the intelligence of man. Years of patient construction to find perfection that guards against the elements is discarded by us as we still insist on placing down concrete or clay bricks and blocks cemented in place. It would be so interesting if scientists took a new look at what the oldest teachers on the planet have silently perfected. Perhaps there may then be safer places for us all to live in.
