Weaving Bowl presented at the IWP in Warsaw

05Jul10

Michal Piasecki’s recent design – Weaving Bowl – was selected for the final of Young Design 2010 competition organized by Warsaw’s Institute of Industrial Design (IWP). During the project presentation at IWP, taking place on June 2nd this year, Michal emphasized how mass customization paradigm shifts designers and users roles. Designers’ focus moves away from [...]

“A Redefinition of the Paradox of Choice” accepted for DCC’10

25Apr10

“A Redefinition of the Paradox of Choice”, a paper co-authored by Michal Piasecki and Sean Hanna, was accepted for the Design Computing Cognition conference 2010 (DCC’10). In the paper builds upon Barry Schwart’z definition of the paradox of choice. The abstract outlines our proposition of reconsideration of the paradox and positions the Breeding Objects Experiment [...]

Breeding Objects Experiment 01

01Feb10

Breeding Objects Experiment 01 is my first experiment with configurators for mass customization of products over the Internet, conducted as part of PhD research at the Bartlett School of Graduate Studies. The experiment is a comparison of two types of configurators: “parametric” configurators and genetic algorithms configurators. In parametric configurators users have to specify 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.
