Together with Sean Hanna, I have co-authored a paper: “Review of B2C Online Product Configurators”. The work was accepted for 5th World Conference on Mass Customization & Personalization (MCPC 2009), which is about to take place between 4th and 8th of October 2009 in Helsinki. I will discuss some of the issues mentioned in 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 an [...]

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 of [...]

I’ve been working for the Msc AAC on a paper which looks at the possibilities of devising a research methodology based on D’Arcy Thompson’s Cartesian Transformations Method (“On Growth and Form”, 1918), which would be relevant to the call for science of buildings expressed in Philip Steadman’s “Evolution of Designs” (1979). The above is a [...]

I’ve started a series of articles for sztuka-architektury.pl about harnessing the generative design methods for optimization purposes rather than generation of forms uninformed by their performance in any sense. “Generative optimization depending on sun exposure” is my first article from the series (full text in polish here) – written thanks to Fred Labbe from Expedition [...]

I have realized that I haven’t yet wrote anything about Bruce Sterling’s notion of a “spime” (although I have mentioned it in my previous post on Shapeways). I’ve decided to fix that, so my newly published article on sztuka-architektury.pl is called “the forthcoming era of new kind of objects” (full text in polish here). In [...]

The end of domination of star-schools of architecture is my newest article at sztuka-architektury.pl (follow the link if you are fluent in polish). The core argument is as follows: The information revolution is often related with the notion of “democratization”, which essentially means broader access to the information as well as co-creation of it by [...]

We Have No Vision is a place where former Iaac students share thoughts loosely related to what they are doing on a daily basis.
Times (not the magazine), economy, architects is the title of my newest text there. I wrote it in response to an article by Hemant Purohit. Hemant speaks of the disturbing situation in [...]

I have just fixed a new kind of collaboration and I’m going to work as a writer for polish design/architecture internet news service sztuka-architektury.pl. Clearly, all of the topics are going to be related with the notion of digital paradigm in design. For all of you who aren’t Polish, I’m sorry, but the texts are [...]
