Which strategies have animals developed to shape their environment according to their needs? What materials do they use for their constructions? How do their construction activities affect their habitat - and what can we as humans learn from this for our construction and production processes?

Nature Shapes is the first exhibition in the Bavarian Natural History Museum's Future Lab. It shows that the human species is not the only one capable of constructing complex and elaborate structures and buildings. Other animals have also developed ingenious techniques to catch prey or to protect themselves and their babies from heat, cold or hostile attacks.
