A.I. & Future
Robotics has been already a mainstream for endless discussions and inspiration since the eighties. Many developments and experiments are conducted for an ambition to introduce a human-like android, which can function as a naturalized human. As a result, artificial intelligence (A.I.) was introduced, and has been developed as a centralized control unit for robots. At first, I never thought that robots could learn their own skills or abilities without being instructed by their human supervisor in the future. Thus, I had not realized about technology improvement on A.I. e before reading this article on Berkeley News. Brett Israel, Berkeley News reporter, described that simple actions or assignments could be foresaw by robots through this visual imagination technology (called "visual foresight"). From above achievement, Israel claimed that described technology would assist robots to perform tasks without knowledge about physics or surrounding environments. Afterward, I had been unclear about how A.I. performed analysis and commands without any database or knowledge until Professor Sergey Levine (Assistant Professor of Berkeley's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences) claimed that A.I. would mimic human's brain through his research. He stated that "At the core of this system is a deep learning technology based on convolutional recurrent video prediction, or dynamic neural advection (DNA)". His statement claimed that his deep learning technology would assist robot to process its next action by predicting images of its previous one. Even though this technology is in initial stage at the moment, I predict that it would open a pathway for A.I to function as a human brain. As a fact, it would become a big leap for robotics industry if an android containing an A.I. that can function similar to a human brain was introduced.

Computer & Future
This below article inspired its reader at the first paragraph by directing the contemporary issue during high-rise building era in the 20th century before The Information Age: casting "long shadow" to the urban area. Computer modeling has begun an integral part for AEC industry since computer was powerful enough to operate design software such as Rhino or 3D Max seamlessly. Even though the article did not conduct a general solution to tackle its stated problem, it introduced how architect firm NBBJ in London transform their proposed design for shadowless building into a design package as visual analysis method. NBBJ proposed for a pair of skyscraper reflected sunlight of each other, which can minimize the darkness at the street level. In fact, results generated computer-aided design package would eliminate the unreal assumption of architects with visual solution for improving the design. Also, construction phase would be processed smoother as design change issue would be rapidly minimized. This idea will be a role model on designing skycrapers and urban light mapping for recent developed countries such as China, where skyscraper building is still a mainstream.

Software & Future
Since Virtual Reality (VR) has introduced to the public recently, the 3-D smartphone mapping software in below article was emerged on demonstrating VR. The project of Google with collaboration from University of Minnesota aimed for creating a next-gen 3-D mapping software. It featured a battery-friendly software generating a map instantly without GPS data. In fact, Professor Roumeliotis claimed: "it doesnt't use much processing power, about as much as the game "Angry Birds"" to emphasize its commitment in battery power saving. Even though this ambitious software has not been introduced to the public yet, this mapping software will be predicted as a powerful add-on for Google Maps on assisting homeowners or students to navigate throughout their building in the future. Moreover, along with the vast development of Virtual Reality, an unexpectedly powerful navigation tool, inspired by this software, will be a surviving tool for anyone.

Your article would strengthen my belief about the future on Building Information Modeling (BIM) on AEC industry. You already pointed out how BIM would contribute as a central role to future building construction as a data provider for a giant 3-D construction printer. Even though laborers are still required for some complex tasks, it is an expected future to watch our design will be automatically constructed at the most minimum error as data generated from BIM.

One of my dream before entering AEC industry is creating my own house, and functioning it by myself, which are required lots of database management on architectural, structures, HVAC, lightning, control, etc... Your article served as a good warning about code violations, and how to mine available data from a crowd database toolbox. Also, I agree with you on using software's warning alert to avoid catastrophic circumstance happened for the future project in design process
Dee Dee, S (HVAC)
I used to sit in Drexel's ASHRAE GBM with a discussion about "Net Zero Energy Design". I recalled that the presenter introduced energy-efficiency sensor in HVAC part that could be related to your article. The discussion also inspired me to another part of HVAC: not only designing functionally but also managing energy effectively. I agree with you as zero energy equipment such as the smart vents will be widely accepted by the public
