Summary/Abstract: The main objective of this Article is to show that there is an urgent need for using modern methods in the construction sector for more sustainable buildings. These modern methods include a high percentage of automation and robotisation in construction. To achieve this objective, it has been considered the necessity to build adaptive structures in order to respond efficiently to consumption of energy through all aspects included and an increased seismic safety. There is presented a comparative analyse of the current solutions in construction process and the ones which include automation and robotisation. The main accent was based upon using innovative technology with automatic removable formworks. This technology can be used to construct more easily high-rise buildings and in the same time provides the leads for green and sustainable buildings. A high percentage of automation and robotisation for the building processes will generate more sustainable buildings, green and durable technology, superior seismic performance, thermal efficiency, low emissions, waste reduction and, as whole, durable buildings.
