The present application describes an automated structure for hosting modular buildings and a respective automation system comprising a lower structure (1) including an opening (4) in which a shaft is seated, comprising an element connecting the shaft with the outside, where it can preferably be coupled to the structure and the fixed external attachment shaft (5), a lifting mechanism (2), preferably in the side sections of the aforementioned lower structure (1) that is coupled to an upper structure (3) enabling the movement thereof via the articulation and support (6). Axial movement and movement of the upper structure (3) are managed via an automation system based on a PLC and a set of sensors and actuators, specifically anemometers and frequency inverters that control the abovementioned movements. Thus, the present invention makes it possible to host modular buildings, such as houses, causing them to move, for example in accordance with the position of the sun, such as to make them energy-efficient.
