26 maja Przemek weźmie udział w konferencji architektów, zarządców i inwestorów organizowanej przez firmę Virtus. Prezentacja odbędzie się we Wrocławiu w Hotelu Panorama i obejmie różne aspekty związane z nowoczesnym projektowaniem, skupiając się głównie na algorytmach i użyciu technik parametrycznych w kontekście cyfrowo wspomaganego wytwarzania komponentów architektonicznych.

Inni prezenterzy to między innymi przedstawiciele firm takich jak OWA Polska (akustyka), Luxima lighting, Fakro (okna), Cersanit, Opoczno, Mira and DuPont Poland (producent corianu).

Smart Geometry Copenhagen – Interacting with Cities

by admingenerative, workshop April 27, 2011April 27, 20110 comments

Przemek Jaworski was tutoring a 4-day workshop during Smart Geometry 2011 Copenhagen conference. Workshop was mainly focused on parametric and generative techniques in context of urban design, and multi-touch, multi-user collaboration. 6 tangible tables were built during the event, 4 of them powered by Kinect sensors, two by hacked PS3 cameras (for multitouch surfaces). Effects can be seen below:

Parametric design workshop

by adminGC, workshop April 12, 2011April 12, 20110 comments

Przemek Jaworski and Michał Piasecki will lead a parametric design workshop held at Faculty of Architecture of Wroclaw Polytechnic University. Workshop will take place on 4 weekends, starting on 16/17 of April 2011. Material covered will include parametric BSplineSurfaces, panelization techniques of facades and roofs, automatic calculation of areas in freeform shapes and several key fabrication techniques. At the end participants will produce set of laser-cut physical models.

architektura eksperymentalna westival

On 25th of November in Szczecin’s Architectural Art Gallery ‘Forma’ a special exhibition will open its doors to visitors -‘Computational Forms’ and ‘De-coding complexity’, which will be primarily focused on various aspects of experimental architecture. Three Polish computational designers – Michał Piasecki, Przemek Jaworski and Paweł Rubinowicz will share their recently created projects, that relate closely to interactive architecture, mathematical form finding and artificial intelligence techniques.

Interactive tangible table urban simulation

by adminUncategorized October 22, 2010November 9, 20100 comments

In September I conducted some Processing-based experiments on occupancy and wayfinding in urban environment. I was heavily inspired by one of my AAC Bartlett students, Yossatorn Jomjinda, who was investigating pedestrian activity in Bath, trying to mimic crowd mechanics based on bluetooth data harvesting.

After writing intial piece of software and wrestling a bit with OpenGL, I managed to run pedestrian simulations on simple gray/black maps (solid/void), so agents can avoid obstacles autonomously. Adding sneaky wayfinding algorithm did the trick, and now I am able to drive crowds to randomly chosen locations, such as tube stations/retail entrances etc.

The last bit was to add tangible user interface objects library (TUIO, open source code by Martin Kaltenbrunner) to Processing code, and after printing some markers and attaching them to pieces of perspex, I was able to inform the simulation by manipulating physical objects.

The purpose of such tool is for now to access and visualise pedestrian occupancy and wayfinding information, to define more/less occupied areas. This might be useful when defining which buildings might have greater commercial value due to volume of pedestrian movement. However, there is more possibilities to such approach, like interactive wind simulations, overshadowing studies, solar insolation, visual accessibility etc.

Work in progress!!!
