We describe innovative new work in the development of an "animated architecture." Specifically, we describe our early research aimed at the creation of intelligent, programmable, physical spaces supporting working life. Our research takes advantage of recent developments in HCI and continuum robotics to enable humans to exploit emerging technologies and adaptively alter both the ambience and functionality of their environments. Keywords Animated architecture, robotics ACM Classification Keywords J.4. Social and Behavioral Sciences, K.4.2 Social
