Architectural Robotics

Ecosystems of Bits, Bytes, and Biology

By: Keith Evan Green

How a built environment that is robotic and interactive becomes an apt home to our restless, dynamic, and increasingly digital society. The relationship of humans to computers can no longer be represented as one person in a chair and one computer on a desk. Today computing finds its way into our pockets, our cars, our appliances; it is ubiquitous—an inescapable part of our everyday lives. Computing is even expanding beyond our devices; sensors, microcontrollers, and actuators are increasingly embedded into the built environment. In Architectural Robotics, Keith Evan Green looks toward the next frontier in computing: interactive, partly intelligent, meticulously designed physical environments. Green examines how these “architectural robotic” systems will support and augment us at work, school, and home, as we roam, interconnect, and age. Green tells the stories of three projects from his research lab that exemplify the reconfigurable, distributed, and transfigurable environments of architectural robotics. The Animated Work Environment is a robotic work environment of shape-shifting physical space that responds dynamically to the working life of the people within it; home+ is a suite of networked, distributed “robotic furnishings” integrated into existing domestic and healthcare environments; and LIT ROOM offers a simulated environment in which the physical space of a room merges with the imaginary space of a book, becoming “a portal to elsewhere.” How far beyond workstations, furniture, and rooms can the environments of architectural robotics stretch? Green imagines scaled-up neighborhoods, villages, and metropolises composed of physical bits, digital bytes, living things, and their hybrids. Not global but local, architectural robotics grounds computing in a capacious cyber-physical home.

Hollywood Vampire

A Revised and Updated Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to Angel

By: Keith Topping

Angel is a vampire with a soul - until he achieves a moment of 'perfect happiness' with his girlfriend, Buffy Summers, and turns bad again. He manages to regain his soul but the price he has to pay is to leave Sunnydale and Buffy behind. Moving to LA, Angel makes it his mission to kick evil butt (mainly demonic in nature). He's joined by Cordelia - from the original show - and new colleagues Doyle, Wesley and Kate. Now fully revised and updated to include Season Two, Hollywood Vampire is an indispensable and comprehensive episode-by-episode guide to Angel's world, including catergories such as Dreaming (As Buffy Often Proves) Is Free; The Charisma Show; Dudes and Babes and Sex And Drugs And Rock 'n' Roll. It also contains discussion of the links and cross-references between Angel and Buffy - the author has the added expertise of having written Virgin's critically acclaimed, bestselling guide to Buffy the Vampire Slayer - and essays on recurrent themes and coverage of the Angel novels and comics, as well as Angel on the Internet. A unique and essential fan bible.
