Note_Skylar Tibbits: Can we make things that make themselves?

Actually, I always thinking about the architecture's two-dimensional conflict. In one hand, it's ART, it self-metaphor, it seeking for its profound meaning. In the other hand, it's an OBJECT, it put forward the idea of human society, from social, political to human advanced understanding about the world.
The conflict firstly reflect on the contemporary art in early twenty century when artist consider painting itself an object like Yves Klein, Richard Serra, Gerhard Richte, etc.

If architecture exceed its own esthetics and explorer architecture itself, what make architecture?
This video I found great potentiality to redefine the way we build and construct. Through the self-assembly to error correction, it challenge the logic of the term “build” which never change since we put on the first stone, trunk or twig to form the “shelter” until now.

Tibbits said there are four course to study to achieve the goal of new building technology(I keep the term build here).
Decoded assembly sequence
Programmability of parts
Energy for actuation
Error correction
