ORAMBRA
The Office For Robotic Architectural Media & The Bureau For Responsive Architecture (ORAMBRA) are binary architecture / technology offices that design buildings, spaces and systems that reflect the social and technological conditions of our time. We implement responsive technologies to produce high-tech and sustainable architectures that limit and reduce the impacts that our buildings have upon the natural environment. In March 2005 our efforts were recognized and given the highest award (first) for young architectural practices in Chicago. The prize is known as the Emerging Visions Award, it is sponsored by the prestigious Chicago Architecture Club.
