Shape Grammars and Color Grammars in Design [PDF]

open access: possibleEnvironment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 1994
Shape grammars have been used with much success to study and represent past and contemporary architectural and other designs. Recently, they have begun to be used to create new and original designs. In this paper, recent work in the development of original shape grammars and designs is presented.

GPU Shape Grammars

Computer Graphics Forum, 2012
AbstractGPU Shape Grammars provide a solution for interactive procedural generation, tuning and visualization of massive environment elements for both video games and production rendering. Our technique generates detailed models without explicit geometry storage.

Introduction to shape grammars

ACM SIGGRAPH 2008 classes, 2008
The theory of shape grammars defines a formalism to address the ambiguity that quantitative and symbolic computations mostly help us rule out in creative processes. The theory was first launched by Stiny and Gips in 1972 and has evolved into a groundbreaking pragmatist philosophy of shape and design since.The course, composed of a 2 hour lecture and an

Layered shape grammars

Computer-Aided Design, 2014
Abstract In this article we propose a computer-aided conceptual design system to assist modelling at the early stages of design. More precisely, we address the problem of providing the designer with design alternatives that can be used as starting points of the design process.

Fuzzy shape grammars

Progress in Artificial Intelligence, 2015
This paper shows some fuzzy generalizations of the concepts of derivation and computation with shape grammars. Fuzzy definitions are provided for both rule application and shape matching. The paper also describes a software prototype developed to test these ideas.

Shape grammar compilers

Pattern Recognition, 1986
A general shape grammar scheme is proposed for producing a shape parsing mechanism by means of a shape grammar compiler from a high-level shape grammar description. In particular, we show how such a relation can be defined between a special class of shape grammars and a parsing mechanism called a hierarchical constraint process.

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

Increasing the Scope of Implemented Shape Grammars: A Shape Grammar Interpreter for Curved Shapes

Volume 3b: 15th International Conference on Design Theory and Methodology, 2003
The complexity of shape grammars being produced continues to surpass the technology behind implementing them. One step towards implementing more useful shape grammars is the creation of a subshape matching technique for shapes composed of curved lines that lie in a plane.

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
