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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Above are a couple of pictures showing manufacturing process of Evolve Ring Silver, commissioned and distributed by Fluid Forms and co-designed with Krystian Kwiecinski. The manufacturing process begins with a wax 3d print of a positive form. Then a rubber mold is created with the use of the print and once it is ready the [...]

Processing tutorials in Polish
In general, generative design discussion is in English and efforts such as translation of Lift Architects’ Grashopper Primer to Spanish are rare. In Polish blogosphere, Przemek Jaworski is making a great effort to write a series of Processing tutorials on his blog projektowanie parametryczne.pl. There are two so far, but more is coming. First one [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

Processing developments
I saw a couple of new Processing developments and I though I will wrap them up into a post. Here they are: Alasdair Turner shared a single hidden layer perceptron on Open Processing. This is one of few neural networks which can be found on OP. It was published in the Msc Adaptive Architecture and [...]
