While you’re there, by the way, don’t miss the so-called Depths of Salvation. Meanwhile, see BLDGBLOG’s own take on urban knot theory, then join our tour of London Topological].

Hi,
Man is merely emulating the subterranean termites

…and the Common Stalk Borer

plus gazillions of other burrowing animals.
I still want to know how bees manage to take flight when their design is said to be so aerodynamically unwieldy as to preclude flight.

Thanks for drawing attention to Vanishing Point. It’s a fascinating project, and I look forward to reading your take on it sometime soon.
