The Future Of Architecture


UPDATE: I recently met Tristan on October 12 at ACADIA where he presented his work. He in a lot of ways is ahead of where architecture is going. Im looking forward to collaborating with him and exploring the implications of robotics.

Robotics and building, two things that just seem to go together. It seems that every object created these days reacts to us in some way, now its architecture's turn. Imagine a building reacting to its environment breathing when it needs air moving when it need room, the possibilities are endless.
