The Self‐Assembly Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology is at the forefront of the move towards evolutionary construction processes. Three of the Lab's members – doctoral researcher Athina Papadopoulou , co‐director Jared Laucks and co‐founder Skylar Tibbits – report on its recent experiments in macro‐scale fabrication that relies on the reactions of specially designed material components, both among themselves and with their environment.
