What building plan do beavers actually follow? What can architects learn from orangutans and swallows? And how high would termites build if they were as tall as humans? The new pop-up exhibition in the BIOTOPIA Lab takes you into the world of building and design. Marvel at the buildings of humans and animals - and get active yourself at various hands-on stations: construct, design, experiment with all your senses and feel like a beaver.

ARCHITEKTIERISCH is a hands-on exhibition that invites children and adults to experience architecture and building culture from an unusual perspective and discover amazing things in the process. Because while architects have visions, animals follow their instincts. And yet they have the same goal: they want to shape their environment and create spaces that meet their needs. The results are often ARCHITECTURAL!

The exhibition teaches the basics of certain construction methods in a playful way. It makes analogies between human and animal building visible and sensitises visitors to the connections between building and the environment. To this end, four animals encourage visitors to explore different building methods and materials. Audio and video stations, large-format changing pictures and numerous hands-on stations encourage young and old museum visitors from the age of three to experiment, construct and design - and invite them to change their perspective. A wide range of accompanying programmes, such as the open and free weekend workshops in the BIOTOPIA Lab, round off the exhibition.
