Architectural spaces are increasingly gaining robotic capabilities. Architectural robots such as robotic partitions, ceilings, furniture, facades, and other spatial components can autonomously move and reconfigure in response to occupants' needs and activities. Yet, when architectural robots start shaping the spatial conditions in which people continuously live, work, and interact, we may begin to experience the architectural space itself as robotic. What does this shift mean for how we inhabit such spaces? Drawing on our previous studies, I reflect on how architectural robots interact with people not only through their motions, but also through the spatial configurations that persist after those motions stop; how their actions may benefit some occupants while disadvantaging others; and how multiple robots may together make a whole architectural space appear to act. I argue that as computation gains the capacity to physically reconfigure our environments, interaction extends beyond the moment of computational action into the spatial conditions that people continue to inhabit. Understanding robotic architecture therefore requires us to look beyond short-term human-robot interaction and toward how people inhabit, negotiate, and maintain control over spaces that can autonomously reconfigure.
