What if structures could build themselves or adapt to fluctuating
environments? Skylar Tibbits, Director of the Self-Assembly Lab in
the Department of Architecture at MIT, Cambridge, MA, crosses the
boundaries between architecture, biology, materials science and the
arts, to envision a world where material components can
self-assemble to provide adapting structures and optimized
fabrication solutions. The book examines the three main ingredients
for self-assembly, includes interviews with practitioners involved
in the work and presents research projects related to these topics
to provide a complete first look at exciting future technologies in
construction and self-transforming material products.
