Open Generative Design is an initiative started by dr. Sivam Krish. The aim is to develop platform independent algorithms which can be used to browse through solution spaces of various parametric definitions. The algorithms will be written in Excel and special add-on will be developed for each parametric modeling package. The ones for Solidworks and [...]


“Parametric Modeling and CAM Technologies” was a seminar tutored by WF (Agata Kycia, Dorota Kabala, Krzysztof Gornicki, Krystian Kwiecinski and Michal Piasecki) at the WAPW (Warsaw University of Technology, School of Architecture). The seminar took place from October 2009 till February 2010 and was an elective course for master of architecture level students. The aim [...]


Couple of quick impressions from a Processing sketch, which I’m currently developing. The sketch is going to become a basis of my first PhD experiment: comparison of a “parametric” interface and a “genetic algorithm” interface of a configurator for mass customization of furniture. The experiment will actually be conducted online, so more details will follow. [...]


WF’s Agata Kycia, Krzysztof Gornicki and me recently had a pleasure of tutoring a Generative Components and digital fabrication workshop in Warsaw. The event was organized in collaboration with Bentley Systems Polska and sztuka-architektury.pl. You can read much more about it on WF’s blog.


This week I was taking part in three-days Generative Components workshop at the University of Westminster in London. Half of the first day was dedicated for introduction to the GC environment and model-based transactions. Later Sean Hanna and Alasdair Turner gave several tutorials on script in GC. The scripting language is C#, which turns out [...]
