"the enterprise and skill w which animals make their nests is so efficient that it is not possible to do better, so entirely do they surpass all masons, carpenters and builders; for there is not a man who would be able to make a house better suited to himself and to his children than these little animals build for themselves." pg 92 of poetics of spacethis quote interests me because maybe humans who have evolved over millions of years have lost touch to their natural instincts and ability to build a quality home. so yes the most primitive of creatures may not be able to produce extravagant toys, but they can still build a home that is perfect for him and his family.
maybe we should go back to our roots and reflect on what has and hasn't been successful instead of assuming and building something that doesn't address the inhabitants needs.
