Interwoven Systems

31 01 2010

Interwoven Systems was a project done by Agata Kycia and Krzysztof Gornicki under the guidence of dr. Nimish Biloria and ir. Marco Verde at the Hyperbody TU Delft. Its aim was to investigate computational processes in architecture, starting from behavioral simulations, going through generative procedures till digital fabrication. During development of the project, different parametric processes were applied to achieve high complexity of the final form, and allow for its final materialization.

The first part of the studio work was focused on creating real time analysis system, which was working as a form finding machine, giving different outputs based on specific parameters setup. For this purpose Processing application was created as an main computational tool, which allowed us to interact in real-time with generated form and play with multi-agent environment. Swarm intelligence ideas were used here as a theoretical framework, which helped us with dealing with high complexity forms, those that consists of thousands of elements. As the final result of this analysis we received three dimensional pattern representing desired configuration of parameters.

Video presents Processing application, which was finally used in a form finding process. It allows for real-time interaction with the system by seting up different local parameters in specific places of the site.





Behavioral Analysis System

1 11 2009

This is a research project done under the guidence of dr. Nimish Biloria and ir. Marco Verde within the infomatters msc3 Design Studio at the Hyperbody TU Delft. We constructed a behavioral system that represents the relations between different factors on the site. By changing the values of those factors ( like activity, noise level a.s.o. ) you can interact with the system in real-time. Finally, the configuration of the particles becomes a rough sketch for the skeleton of the project. The research was done in Processing.

Unusually Rare Events – generative procedure in Processing

27 08 2009

Aleksandra Wasilkowska recently invited Michal Piasecki to collaborate on the exhibition design of “Unusually Rare Events”. The exhibition is on display in Warsaw’s Centre of Contemporary Arts (CSW) from 10th of August untill 20th of September. The generative procedure of distribution of 6 000 concrete components was written in Processing. You can read more about this design on Michal’s blog.

Wax and Water, a new approach

10 06 2009

As the project progressed I began to use processing as my tool of choice. With processing I was able to simulate a set of particals moving through a field and distorting it. With this I was able to create an effect similar to boiling water being poured repeatedly onto a solid block  of wax. Holes are created and material starts to relocate making bridges and voids. In the rendering you can see where the particals had their main avenue of flow and where they became more eratic at the end of the corridor creating some very interesting geometry. The surface was generated using Rhino and Rhinoscript.

These 6 forms are the result of different settings in the program. some variables include fluid eraticness, fluid speed , material/field density and time of processing.

First Processing Sketches

18 03 2009

My first Processing sketches as the result of the short – seven classes – course at the TU Delft by Axel Kilian. Exploration is focused on the possibilities given by the three dimensional display, which has zones of different behaviors (number of connections, speeed, colour). Then by interactive changes you are able to set it up in a specifc way. My first attempt to use Processing as powerful research tool for architecture purpose - it will be continued soon… 





writing meta-objects for 3d printing

16 02 2009

Cellular Bowl is the first meta-object which I have designed specifically for the 3d printing technology. Here I don’t consider 3d-printing as a mean of manufacturing mock-ups or models but rather as a technology of fabrication of final pieces. The meta-object was written in Processing and it’s instances are available for purchase.

visualizing data through 3d printing

15 02 2009

As part of the Msc AAC at the Bartlett School of Graduate Studies at UCL I was presented with a set of data from scanning for active blue-tooth devices in the city of Bath. I was working in a group with Zeta Kachri, Ankon Mitra and Kensuke Hotta. We have decided to visualize data through 3d printing.

For full description and more photos of the prints you can follow the link.

The image above shows a differentiation in the outcomes of Connective Particles Ballet (a sketch in Processing) across two spectrum: connectivity of nodes and number of particles. Follow the link to see the video and a longer description.





Processing sketches – October

31 10 2008

I’ve been spending last month on getting around object-oriented programming (and I will continue to do so in the nearest future). It’s quite a different principle than scripting since it involves a bit more of programming structure (like classes and subclasses). Here are some early examples of my work in Processing. Follow the links for a detailed description of each program on my personal blog.

first processing morning

5 08 2008

Coffee and processing was the breakfast today. It’s a very interesting language developed at MIT especially for artists and Msc in Adaptive Architecture and Computation which I’m going to attend from September is using it exclusively, so I thought I will give it a try before I go. Here is a first try out – some really simple 2d nested iteration of bezier curves.
