A process-grammar for shape

Artificial Intelligence, 1988
Abstract Inference rules are developed by which process-history can be recovered from natural shapes such as tumors, clouds, and embryos, etc. We argue that the inference of history arises from a newly discovered duality between curvature extrema and symmetry structure. We also develop a formal grammar by which someone, who has two views of an entity

Supporting Creativity : with Emergent Shapes in Shape Grammars

2023 18th Iberian Conference on Information Systems and Technologies (CISTI), 2023
This paper describes a computational infrastructure used to support creative design in detecting emergent shapes in the specific context of shape grammar implementation. Shape grammars have been used to represent the knowledge behind the creative work of architects, designers and artists.

Enhancements to a shape grammar interpreter

Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Interactive and Spatial Computing, 2018
This paper presents a shape grammar interpreter (SGI) with enhanced features. The shape grammar interpreter is able to automatically generate geometric products according to a given set of primitive shapes and rules applied to shapes. Several new features have been implemented to this enhanced SGI. Complicated shapes can now be imported into the SGI in

Efficiency in shaping grammars

Pragmatics and Society, 2021
AbstractHawkins (1994,1999,2004,2014a) proposes a performance-grammar correspondence hypothesis, claiming that grammars can be shaped by processing systems with reference to the degree of preference in communication. Given that Hawkins’s proposal mainly highlights the role of efficiency in language comprehension, this paper demonstrates that parsing ...

Enabling the Use of Shape Grammars: Shape Grammar Interpretation Through General Shape Recognition

Volume 4: 12th International Conference on Design Theory and Methodology, 2000
Abstract Shape grammars have recently shown promise in engineering applications. The need to efficiently implement such grammars, rather than hard code them, in a way that supports creativity through shape emergence has still remained an ongoing research challenge.

Shape in Grammar

Language, 1970
This article deals with some semantic categories of shape as coded in grammar. An analysis is given of three patterns in Tarascan grammar: the ‘numeral classifiers’, the covertly ‘classificatory verbs’, and the suffixes of locative space—particularly the semantically complex imagery of the so-called ‘body part suffixes’; the ‘edge-orifice’ suffix is ...

An alternative Palladian shape grammar: A subdivision grammar for Palladian villas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper describes a shape grammar that recreates Palladio's villas. A Palladian grammar was previously proposed by Stiny and Mitchell. However, this alternative grammar uses different parametric shape rules and methodology to test the hypothesis that ...

A whole-grammar implementation of shape grammars for designers

Artificial Intelligence for Engineering Design, Analysis and Manufacturing, 2018
AbstractI present an implementation of shape grammars that is aimed at supporting designers. It has two parts: a grammar editor and a stand-alone interpreter. The editor is the modeling application Rhinoceros3d using Python scripts. The interpreter is general, is three-dimensional, and supports subshape detection.

Shape grammars and shape rules

Journal of Computer Science and Technology, 1987
How to generate various graphics and how to produce patterns automatically according to the ideas, requirements and rules of the people (experts), are quite important problems in the computer aided design (CAD) and design automation (DA). This paper presents an approach, using shape grammars, on the basis of shape rules to design pictures, which is a ...
