Paperback. Num Pages: 204 pages, 403 black & white halftones, 118 colour illustrations, 11 black & white line drawings, 2. BIC Classification: AM. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 193 x 245 x 15. Weight in Grams: 566.
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.
