Termite Towers.

Millions of termite live inside Termite Mound and some of these mound stretch an astonishing 30 feet high. 

Although these termites skyscrapers may look solid from the outside, they are actually covered in tiny homes that allow air to pass through freely.

Like a giant lung, the structure inhales and exhales as temperature rise and fall throughout the day. This termite ventilation inspired Pearce ( Architect ) to use an approach known as Biomimicry.

Biomimicry : imitating the inequity found in nature to solve human problems.
