Self-Assembly Lab

<p>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.</p>
