NURBS surface in Processing
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. [...]

Hannes Walter and Stephen Williams from Fluid Forms are going to run a Creative Coding workshop during the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz. It will start this Friday (4th of September) and last till Tuesday 8th. An excerpt from the description of the workshop is below: “Personalised products resulting from the marriage of geometry, code and data are [...]

Aleksandra Wasilkowska invited Michal Piasecki to collaborate on the design of “Unusually Rare Events / Distribution of Noovantgarde” exhibition in Warsaw’s Centre of Contemporary Arts (CSW). Detailed description of the exhibition, written by it’s curator, Lukasz Ronduda, is available from CSW. You can find a short excerpt below: “Extremely Rare Events / Distribution of 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 [...]

WF_091 videos
A couple of videos from WF_091 is available on vimeo. WF_091 was a workshop about Rhino scripting and digital fabrication which I co-tutored at the beginning of April at Warsaw University of Technology, School of Architecture. You can get much more information about the event in the past workshops section on Workshops Factory blog.

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 [...]

Previously I have written in general about Creative Coding / Laser Cutting session organized by Fluid Forms. Now it’s time to write about what have I actually done during those 2 days. I have focused on the engraving feature of 500 speedy laser cutter. The software driving it has a capacity to read raster images [...]

WF_091 – a workshop co-organized by Workshops Factory and Warsaw University of Technology, School of Architecture – took place between 3rd and 5th of April 2009. The theme of the workshop was parametric urban furniture. We’ve used Rhino scripting as a generative procedure. On Friday (3rd of April) we have started quite late – at [...]

The video above is the final presentation of my second term programming project at the Msc Adaptive Architecture and Computation at the Bartlett, UCL. Underneath you can find a detailed description of the software as well as some photos of phenotypes fabricated for the 2nd term final exhibition which took place at Bartlett’s Wates House [...]
