Architect and researcher Ammar Mirjan explains how drones could be programmed to construct buildings in the first of two movies about the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in architecture.

Although the bricks had to be made from polystyrene to be light enough for the machines to lift, Mirjan says the project suggested how drones might be used to construct actual buildings in future.

Drones can be programmed just like an industrial robotic arm, but their greater freedom of movement means they can be used to build much taller and more complex structures.
