Roboterhände

Buildings are characterized by a long life cycle. This fact is not just economically and ecologically significant but also relevant for the quality of life of its occupants. In order to generate added value of future real estate a forward looking design is required so as to ensure numerous high performing living environments. Similar as the increasing share of electronics in cars we will experience more ICT, microelectronics and microelectronic or mechatronic systems for future life adaptable architecture. Future buildings will provide more services. Specialists like Bill Gates predict that ICT based services will enhance our daily life and increase its market share as the personal computer did in the 1990ies. The success of future real estate will depend on the blending of passive architectural with active micro system technological functionalities.
