Refined 300 Words
Responsive and reactive architecture is rapidly becoming more and more dominant within the architectural design world. Because of its responsive and reactive nature that can be used not only to take advantage of the environment - i.e. implementation of reactive solar panels, wind turbines, etc. to generate energy that can be used to create much more sustainable environments, but the fact that they can be responsive to movement (via sensors or such), and can "change" according to its surroundings, has made the idea popular amongst architects.
Therefore the theme behind the video is "robotic & responsive". The video is to feature, robotic, responsive objects/ buildings at implemented at different locations around the city of Sydney. Along with the different locations, I plan on animating different shapes and forms of the robotic objects that makes them "match" and merge into their environment.
The video is to show the nature and idea behind responsive architecture and how they can change and possibly "improve" the environment they are in. Such has, when it rains, it will morph itself into a shelter like structure, or when someone approaches it it will move out of the way, etc, so that it is unobtrusive while at the same time also being useful to the people and its surroundings.

Journal Article
Shape Shifters - Architecture schools use robotics to design buildings that react to the environment by Jim Rendon
http://www.metropolismag.com/story/20070919/shape-shifters
The journal article discusses how university students and architects have started to merge computer science and architecture, resulting in responsive robotic implementations in architectural designs. Since 2007, responsive, robotic architecture have been on the rise. Not only are they being tested by students at universities and architects/engineers, but there are now plans and constructions that have responsive natures that are currently being implemented within the designs of the buildings. "Far-fetched as it may seem, robotic buildings are already starting to be realized in places like Dubai".
With the new developing technologies avaiable, more and more previously "far fetched" ideas are now becoming a possibility. Buildings of the future would no longer be static, but instead would become dynamic and responsive. Seth Edward's a student, commented in the article that “If kinetic buildings can sense something going on in the environment and respond to it, they are no longer stale objects,” and that “They become more like plants—they are actually more connected to nature.”
The article then provides more examples of buildings that have these technologies implemented as part of the design and further implies that as technology progresses, it can be expected that the future architectural world would be dominated by these responsive, robotic buildings and implementations.

Initial 150 Words
Robotic Architecture is the focus of this last assignment. The idea of responsive robotic architecture has been around for quite a few years, and the idea that buildings can morph/change according to its environment is becoming a quick reality. For my video i plan on show this idea of responsive/ robotic architecture by video recording scenes at different locations, then creating animated objects that move and respond to elements within the recorded scene. The idea is to show that this type of technology can be implemented anywhere and that it would play an important role in the future of architectural designs. They key points are robotic and responsive architecture/objects.
