Would you purchase one of these? humera...!

you know how they say that one day everything and anything will be replaced by robots... well i came across something really interesting... its relevent to mobility, as we physically move from humans to robots in the mere future...and relevent to architecture as building a brick wall is a main aspect to most buildings...one day once we're all successful architects, you may decide to invest in one of these !! but take a look and let me no what you guys think.. :D :D :D

On September 29, Storefront for Art and Architecture will inaugurate a new exhibition showcasing research conducted over the past 3 years at ETH Zurich by Swiss architects Gramazio & Kohler into full-scale digital fabrication in architecture using industrial robots. At the same time, construction work will begin on Pike Loop, the first architectural project to be built on site by an industrial robot in the US.

Located on Pike Street, the robot, R-O-B, will work for up to four weeks—in full view of the public— to construct a brick wall, a highly sculptural response to the specific identity of the site. The same robot unit recently built the award-winning installation, Structural Oscillations, at the 2008 architectural biennial in Venice. For the Pike Loop installation, more than seven thousand bricks aggregate to form an infinite loop that weaves along the pedestrian island. In changing rhythms the loop lifts off the ground and intersects itself at its peaks. The installation was coordinated through the New York City Department of Transportation’s Urban Art Program.a
