Warsaw as an Emergent Structure – Em_Wwa 1.0 software prototype

29Jan10

Warsaw as an Emergent Structure is an initiative to acknowledge that a city is a complex system. It is also a book featuring texts from researchers and theoreticians from various fields, centered around the concept of complexity in urban environment. Ola Wasilkowska, who initiated it, aims at creating a multidisciplinary round table, aiming at developing [...]

“An Evolutionary Architecture” available online

09Nov09

John Frazer’s “An Evolutionary Architecture” from 1995 is an obligatory read for anyone interested in the amalgam of evolutionary computation and design. In other words anyone interested in the potential of “breeding designs” using evolutionary algorithms (genetic algorithms belong to this category). I was very happy to see it available online for free from the [...]

Michal Piasecki

Michal Piasecki is a freelance designer and consultant specializing in generative design, parametric modeling, optimization and digital fabrication.
design

Michal Piasecki in collaboration with Ola Wasilkowska recently designed "Assemblage in Public" - a temporary pavilion for Critical Practice in London. The form of the pavilion was obtained through multi objective optimization with genetic algorithms.
consulting

Michal recently worked for Joris Laarman Studio on a generative process of "Starlings Table" - a 3d printed piece of furniture displayed on a Joris Laarman Lab show at Friedman Benda gallery in New York.
research

Michal is doing his PhD at the Bartlett in London, where he is researching potential use of evolutionary algorithms in online mass customization of products.
teaching

Michal is also a teaching assistant at the Master of Science in Adaptive Architecture and Computation at the Bartlett, where he is tutoring on digital studio and morphogenetic programming modules and on the final thesis.
