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 [...]

Critical Practice, a cluster of artists, researchers and academics hosted by Chelsea College of Art and Design has recently commissioned Ola Wasilkowska and Michal Piasecki to design a temporary spatial intervention for their Parade event. The event took place on 21-23 May, 2010 at Rootstein Hopkins Parade Ground in London. The structure, called Assemblage in [...]

Open Generative Design
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 [...]

Joris Laarman Studio commissioned Michal Piasecki to develop a generative process for their Starlings Table project. The 3d printed piece of furniture was on show at Friedman Benda gallery in New York between March 4 and April 10, 2010. The process consisted of a 3d flocking simulation based on the Reynold’s boids algorithm. User of [...]

Green2 is a new polish architecture and design magazine focused on sustainability. Their second issue is on biomimetic design and Michal Piasecki was asked to write an article on computational means of introducing biomimetics into the design process. The article begins with the discussion of Andrew Kudless’ P-Wall project. An inquiry which seems to be [...]

Breeding Objects Experiment 01
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 [...]

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 [...]

Evolve rings where commissioned and are distributed by Fluid Forms. I have co-designed them together with Krystian Kwiecinski and they are available for purchase since today. They where designed with an aid of an artificial selection in genetic algorithm (GA). I have developed the phenotype together with Krystian and then wrote a purpose-built GA tool [...]
