3, 2, 1, assemble ! Patterning surfaces with extended porous networks represents a viable method for the fabrication of multifunctional materials with potential applications in nanotechnology, nanoelectronics, sensing and catalysis. These networks can indeed serve as templates for hosting or anchoring guests, such as nanoparticles, proteins and fluorophores, thus leading to regularly spaced arrays. This review provides an overview on the current bottom‐up approaches towards the engineering of porous nanostructures by using nucleic acid, peptide, and proteins scaffolds.
