Exploring Architectural Shapes Based on Parametric Shape Grammars: A Case Study of the “Three Lanes and Seven Alleys” Historic District in Fuzhou City, China

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
With the development of information technology, the introduction of information technology into architectural modelling and façade design and the systematic definition of historic districts is a problem that the architectural industry continues to ...

Bridging Formal Shape Models and Deep Learning: A Novel Fusion for Understanding 3D Objects [PDF]

open access: yesSensors
This article describes a novel fusion of a generative formal model for three-dimensional (3D) shapes with deep learning (DL) methods to understand the geometric structure of 3D objects and the relationships between their components, given a collection of

Tractable Shape Grammars [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 2013
In this paper we explore the theoretical basis for a concept of ‘computation-friendly’ shape grammars, through a formal examination of tractability of the grammar formalism. Although a variety of shape grammar definitions have evolved over time, it is possible to unify these to be backwards compatible.

Shape grammar in contemporary architectural theory and design [PDF]

open access: yesFacta Universitatis. Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering, 2012
In the past decade, digital technologies had a great impact on contemporary architectural practice, design and theory. CAD/CAM technologies opened up new opportunities by allowing design and production of complex geometric shapes.

A Grammar-Based Optimization Approach for Designing Urban Fabrics and Locating Amenities for 15-Minute Cities

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
Providing pedestrian accessibility to urban services is a big challenge and a key factor in creating more walkable urban areas. Moreover, it is a critical aspect of climate-resilient urban planning as it is broadly assumed that neighborhoods with greater

A Computational Strategy to Plan Housing Settlements: the Case of Santa Marta

open access: yesimg journal, 2021
The world is becoming more urbanized and the exponential population growth places an enormous pressure in cities. This intense urbanization gives rise to innumerous urban problems, especially when stakeholders are not able to construct sufficient ...

SHAPE GRAMMAR LIBRARIES OF EUROPEAN CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS FOR HISTORIC BIM [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2021
This paper proposes a design for libraries of European Classical architectural elements based on shape grammars. This design is based on a workflow which develops library objects from 3D CAD primitives using architectural rules to construct parametric ...

Regarding Rules: From Rimini to Rio

open access: yesJoelho, 2014
The legacy of Alberti’s 15th century treatise, De re aedificatoria (Alberti, 1988), on architectural theory and practice up to the present day is profound and wide-ranging. Indeed, the story of building over the last five and a half centuries is, in part,

Exploiting lattice structures in shape grammar implementations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The ability to work with ambiguity and compute new designs based on both defined and emergent shapes are unique advantages of shape grammars. Realizing these benefits in design practice requires the implementation of general purpose shape grammar ...

Shape grammars overview and assessment for transport and urban design: Review, terminology, assessment, and application

open access: yesJournal of Transport and Land Use, 2016
Shape grammars for urban design have attracted much interest in research and practice. Transport and urban planners increasingly deploy shape grammars, especially in simulations and procedural models.
