For some time, the widespread adoption of robotic and digital fabrication technologies has made it possible for architects and academic researchers to design non-standard, highly customised structures. These technologies have largely been limited by scalability, focusing mainly on top-down, bespoke fabrication projects, such as experimental pavilions and structures. Autonomous assembly and bottom-up construction techniques hold the promise of greater scalability, adaptability and potentially evolved design possibilities. By capitalising on the advances made in swarm robotics, the collective construction of the animal\/insect kingdom, and advances in physical computational, programmable materials or self-assembly, architects and designers are now able to build from the bottom up. This issue presents future scenarios of autonomous assembly by highlighting the viability of decentralised, collective assemb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Guest-Editor 05\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSkylar Tibbits\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction From Automated to Autonomous Assembly 06\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eSkylar Tibits\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCombinatorial Commons\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSocial Remixing in a Sharing Economy 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJose Sanchez\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow Specific Interactions Drive the Complex Organisation of Building Blocks 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eZorana Zeravcic\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom Self-Assembly to Evolutionary Structures 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eAthina Papadopoulou, Jared Laucks and Skylar Tibbits\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Vanishing Actor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow to Let Things Happen: The Art of Order Without Orders 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRobin Meier and Bastien Gallet\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eComplex Design by Simple Robots\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Collective Embodied Intelligence Approach to Construction 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirstin Petersen and Radhika Nagpal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCrowd-Driven Pattern Formation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eComputational Strategies for Large-Scale Design and Assembly 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMarcelo Coelho and Tovi Grossman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Immersive\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStagecraft to Urbanism 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSimon Kim and Mariana Ibañez\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBaskets and Architecture\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRitualisitic Making and Collective Design 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBenjamin Aranda and Chris Lasch\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAleatory Construction Based on Jamming\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStability Through Self-Confinement 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKieran Murphy, Leah Roth, Dan Peterman and Heinrich Jaeger\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGranular Jamming of Loadbearing and Reversible Structures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRock Print and Rock Wall 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePetrus Aejmelaeus-Lindström, Ammar Mirjan, Fabio Gramazio and Matthias Kohler, Schendy Kernizan, Björn Sparrman, Jared Laucks and Skylar Tibbits\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGranular Construction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDesigned Particles for Macro-Scale Architectural Structures 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKarola Dierichs and Achim Menges\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDistributed Structures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDigital Tools for Collective Design 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCaitlin Mueller\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCompressive Assemblies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBottom-Up Performance for a New Form of Construction 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePhilippe Block, Matthias Rippmann and Tom Van Mele\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDisarmed Strategies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew Machines and Techniques for an Era of Computational Contextualism in Architecture 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHannes Mayer, Fabio Gramazio and Matthias Kohler\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2060\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn Autonomously Crafted Built Environment 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlvise Simondetti, Chris Luebkeman and Gereon Uerz\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCounterpoint\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAutonomous Assembly as the Fourth Approach to Generic Construction 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAndong Lu\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors 134\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406985896279,"sku":"9781119102359","price":25.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/autonomous-assembly-9781119102359","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
