Michal Piasecki recently took part in a symposium of PhD students researching computational design. Hosted by Centre for Information Technology and Architecture (CITA) in Copenhagen, the event drew together PhD students and tutors from The Bartlett, UCL, Spatial Information Architecture (SIAL) at RMIT and CITA.

The event was structured into 4 panels and presentations of PhD research where followed by an open discussion moderated by panel leaders. The list of all speakers is below:

June 11th: Panel 1: “Materials & Responses”. Moderators: Sean Hanna and Ole Sigmund.

Norbert Palz: “ Emerging Architectural Potentials of a Tuneable Materiality through Additive Fabrication Technologies”.

Sarat Babu: “Microkinetics”.

Aurelie Mosse: “Self-Actuated Textiles in the Design of Domestic Spaces”.

Gennaro Senatore: “Responsive Adaptive Building Structures”.

June 11th: Panel 2: “Adaptation”. Moderators: Jane Burry and Alasdair Turner.

Ruairi Glynn:  “An approach to interactive architecture”.

Christopher Leung: “Passive autonomic computing with heat motors and their compounds”.
