Inspired by the assembly of Lego toys, hydrogel building blocks with heterogeneous responsiveness are assembled utilizing macroscopic supramolecular recognition as adhesion force. The provides 3D transformation upon pH variation. After disassembly changing oxidation state, they can be re-assembled into a completely new shape.
