Multi-purpose robot building of indeterminate size and shape, representing a giant robot, the arms of which are articulated and rise from the horizontal to the vertical. The head and thorax are rotatory. On one or several faces, the arms (4), ears, hands, hips, feet and base are luminous signs and can be audio-visual parts. The head and thorax are fitted with giant screens (1, 2) for back projection. The head is animated by video programmes representing a stylized robot face with a synthetic image. The head is synchronized with the screen of the thorax to show the visuel parts of the text. The hips, legs, feet and base are provided with luminous newscasts. The ground floor is a sales and exhibition area. The basement (5) is a transformable exhibition area, the surround of which is a commercial arcade. An external belt surrounds the robot and is provided with a sound and light control unit. An amphitheatre (6) for conferences and shows for the year 2000 is fitted out in the basement of the robot with a giant hydraulic stage which can be moved spatially.
