How Cutting Edge Research and Material Manipulation Will Impact CRE

ORLANDO, FL—Skylar Tibbits, co-director and founder of the Self-Assembly Lab at MIT, is on the cutting edge of 4D technology. In his Self-Assembly Lab at MIT, he focuses on the future of how to make things mapped out—and the implications. “Software changes design and the way that we work,” the keynote speaker said at CREW’s Network Convention here in Orlando, FL.

“Imagine, as just one example, water pipes that are ‘intelligent,’ that can contract and expand as needed,” he said. “Code is a new language for design and allows us to imaging things we couldn’t have imagined before.
