===========
The University of Virginia (UVA) School of Architecture has started a 
new program about ‘robotic ecologies’ which wants to answer the 
question: Will robots take over architecture? As said the program 
leader, “This research is not just about architectural machines that 
move. It is about groups of architectural machines that move with 
intelligence.” Apparently, buildings tracking our movements and adapting 
their shape or texture according human presence are not far fetched. 
Maybe one day, we’ll talk to our homes and they’ll answer…
