Discover the Unknown World of Animals Through Exquisite Visuals

"Animal Architects" is a photo collection that brings together the remarkable constructions of animals, encountered by world-class nature photographer Ingo Arndt during a two-year global assignment. From the tiny nests of hummingbirds to coral reefs, considered the largest structures built by animals, this astonishing book showcases the creatures' peculiar architectural skills and exquisite aesthetic in full color.

The book also features extensive insights from animal behaviorist Jürgen Tautz, exploring the principles of animal architecture that have even been applied to human construction. Through this volume, the secrets behind the mysterious forms built by animals are revealed.



Additionally, Jim Brandenburg, a photographer renowned for his work with "National Geographic," has contributed the preface. For the Japanese edition, author and naturalist Hiroshi Aramata offers his commentary: "All art and technology have been learned from living things. They are the true genius architects."

The photo collection "Animal Architects" will be released by Space Shower Network on July 31 (Thursday). We invite you to delve into the unknown world of animals through this book, which offers not only stunning visuals but also significant documentary value.
