City of Urban Robotz was a competition entry to the 44th Central Glass Design Competition. It received an honorable mention. 

If the zoning law and the building code of the city required that all buildings must devote at least 30% of its mass to be voids for communal activities, the metropolis can have many public spaces in the sky. They lifted public frames to view each other over great distances and define identities for every building as a robot of culture.
