Here we demonstrate that a precise macroscopic supramolecular assembly (MSA) can be achieved using a surface photopatterning strategy. The electrostatic interaction of the photopatterned polyelectrolytes drives hydrogel cuboids to form a stable MSA on a millimeter scale and the spatial controllability of light enables the hydrogels to be assembled into complex supramolecular architectures.
