Dear Dr. Bini:

Thank you for the exciting news. After reading your 1991 architectural
booklet on "robotized autoconstruction" of future cities I started to
wonder how long it would be before we would start to see such projects
demonstrated. This may be a world first. I hope it gets a lot of attention
from media, public and construction professionals. Please keep me informed
if there is anything new as I will notify as many people as I can.

Sincerely-FWP
