Together with Sean Hanna, I have co-authored a paper: “Review of B2C Online Product Configurators”. The work was accepted for 5th World Conference on Mass Customization & Personalization (MCPC 2009), which is about to take place between 4th and 8th of October 2009 in Helsinki. I will discuss some of the issues mentioned in the [...]

bottom-up design
I’m discussing the notion of bottom-up approach to design in my newest article on sztuka-architektury.pl (full text in polish can be found here). I begin with a couple of examples from everyday surroundings. A flock of birds serves as an example for the argument about systems governed only by a set of local relationships. It’s [...]

I recently wrote an article about Sean Hanna’s and Siavash H. Mahdavi’s research into microstructure optimization for Architektura – Murator – a polish architectural design magazine. Sean Hanna is a RCUK Academic Fellow in Space and Adaptive Architectures based at the Bartlett School of Graduate Studies of UCL. His microstructure optimization is essentially a design [...]

I’ve been working for the Msc AAC on a paper which looks at the possibilities of devising a research methodology based on D’Arcy Thompson’s Cartesian Transformations Method (“On Growth and Form”, 1918), which would be relevant to the call for science of buildings expressed in Philip Steadman’s “Evolution of Designs” (1979). The above is a [...]

I’ve started a series of articles for sztuka-architektury.pl about harnessing the generative design methods for optimization purposes rather than generation of forms uninformed by their performance in any sense. “Generative optimization depending on sun exposure” is my first article from the series (full text in polish here) – written thanks to Fred Labbe from Expedition [...]

design and piracy
My new short text was just published at the Thinking blog. I argue, that with new image processing technologies, like Microsoft’s Photosynth will make room for the intellectual property rights debate in the world of design. It might mean that designers will find themselves in a need to implement new organizational scheme; Perhaps one that [...]
