I've went down the YouTube rabbit hole on this.

My favorites have been dirt-inspired builds utilizing technology found in the animal Kingdom beyond humans. Termites are often cited.

Buildings that have natural AC regardless of the season and mostly passively. Ventilation structure that encourages heat sink/release.

And many are made of just dirt, which seems pretty smart. Enormous insulation values. Endless supply.
