we have been developing biological and crystalline methods to perform molecular bottom-up assembly, ultimately to grow buildings. Our initial experiments have been to grow carbon nanotubes in a variety of structures including the set of sacred geometry. Future studies will include dna/protien assemblies. Look up DNA tiling and virus assembly.
