Shape grammar for medical injectors
… biomedical device design through the use of the shape grammar formalism. This method is expressed as an algorithm that describes the computational mechanism for composing shapes utilizing symbols, geometry, and algebraic operations. The generation of medical injector designs and their successful …

SGML : a meta-language for shape grammar
A shape grammar develops a drawing through a series of transformations by repeatedly applying if-then rules. Although the rules can be designed, in principle, to construct any type of drawing, the drawings they construct may not necessarily develop in the manner intended by the designer of the …

Shape grammar for Mies van der Rohe's high-rise apartment
… to a practical architecture design. It uses shape grammar, a paradigm of generating designs in a specific style by using shape tokens (architectural elements) and rules of transforming between them. If a shape grammar can be made for mass production design that needs many repetitious units …

Making Rules, Making Tools: How Can Shape Grammar Support Creative Making?
… processes. An analogy between rules transforming shapes and tools transforming material provided the initial indication that concepts from shape grammar could be aligned with making processes, to potentially support creative making and deliver new theoretical and applied knowledge for both …

An algorithmic approach to system architecting using shape grammar-cellular automata
… a visually oriented human design interface (shape grammar) that provides an intuitive design language with a machine (cellular automata) to execute the system architecture's production set (algorithm). The manual output of the flexible shape grammar, the set of design rules, is transcribed …

Computational Exploration of Origami Tessellation Design:Harnessing Shape Grammar for Flexible Folding Structures
… tessellation pattern design by leveraging shape grammar principles. Shape grammar provides a systematic framework for generating and analyzing folding patterns, offering a more intuitive and structured approach to design. Through computational exploration and experimentation, this research …

A shape grammar for teaching the architectural style of the Yingzao fashi
… Jie (d. 1110) and published in 1103. I present a shape grammar for teaching the architectural style - the language of designs - described in this manual. This grammar is distinguished by two objectives, and the technical means used to accomplish them. First, the grammar is for teaching. Usually, …

Maintaining cultural identity in design: shape grammar as means of identifying and modifying design style.
… clarified the most common features of geometric shapes and symmetry rules among the Sadu products that directly influence the approach which the study proposes. Then the shape grammar method was adopted as a means of identifying the Sadu design language. The second section developed the …

Formalization, data abstraction, and communication
Shape Grammar introduces the algorithm that stimulates the development of form and its meaning in the design process. Since Shape Grammar provides a way of representing form and its meaning as sets of mathematical terms, which are shapes and the different algebra, Shape Grammar has been anticipated …

3D Mapping of Islamic Geometric Motifs
… approach in generating 3D IGP is applied using shape grammar, an effective pattern generation method. The particular emphasis here is to generate the motifs (repeat unit) in 3D using parameterization, which can then be manipulated within 3D space to construct architectural structures. Three …

Design by grammar : algorithmic design in an architectural context
… applicability of the rule based design method of shape grammars. The shape grammar method is used for the analysis and synthesis of the hayat house type in a particular context. In the analysis part, the shape grammar method is used to extract basic compositional principles of the hayat house. In …

Imaginative procedural modeling : automated 3D generation and rendering of stylized building designs
… in urban environments. By using the CGA Shape Grammar built into CityEngine, this project seeks to generate geometries based on complex architectural precedents using a procedural modeling system based on shape grammar and computational design principles. Results are generated and …

Computation with Curved Shapes: Towards Freeform Shape Generation in Design
Shape computations are a formal representation that specify particular aspects of the design process with reference to form. They are defined according to shape grammars, where manipulations of pictorial representations of designs are formalised by shapes and rules applied to those shapes. They …

Thirteen ways of looking : a theoretical inquiry in computational creative thinking
… and epiphanies (the aha moments). I posit that Shape Grammar, with its ability to fluidly restructure computation, can be used to study and demonstrate cognitive diversity and interaction. If we conceive thoughts as shapes and ideas as configurations of those shapes, then cognitive diversity can …

Customizing mass housing : a discursive grammar for Siza's Malagueira houses
… based on a mathematical model called discursive grammar. A discursive grammar includes a shape grammar, a description grammar, and a set of heuristics. The shape grammar provides the rules of formal composition, whereas the description grammar describes the design from other relevant viewpoints. …

3D architecture form synthesizer
… lacking imagination. However, with the theory of Shape Grammar, a rule system that can be used to generate a large number of varied ~nd complex designs using only a small number of simple rules, computers can now have imagination. The problem is addressed here mainly in the domain of architecture. …

Sonic facade, creating a sounding architecture
… sounds. This thesis proposes a seven rule shape grammar for users to determine the placement and implementation of the sonic facade on an existing building and site. The shape grammar allows for a range of simple to complex possibilities that could be applied to a variety of buildings. The …

Seeing as aesthetic experience and creative action : visual practices with shape grammars in design education
… design courses - by employing the principles of shape grammar theory. The use of shape grammars in design education can help students grow as designers and put them back in touch with their unique and instantaneous responses to emerging designs; in other words, shape grammars can help students …
