Shapes: Seeing and Doing with Shape Grammars

open access: yes2022 17th Iberian Conference on Information Systems and Technologies (CISTI), 2022
This paper describes the visual interface of a configurable and extensible system to support generic work with shape grammars. Shape grammars allow the implementation of computational mechanisms to analyze and synthesize designs of visual languages and have been used to represent the knowledge behind the creative work of architects, designers and ...

Shape grammars as a reverse engineering method for the morphogenesis of architectural façade design

open access: yesFrontiers of Architectural Research, 2019
The field of shape grammars spans 47 years, but its potential in the practice and education of art, architecture, and engineering remains far from being utilized.

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

Design with shape grammars and reinforcement learning

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Informatics, 2013
Shape grammars are a powerful and appealing formalism for automatic shape generation in computer-based design systems. This paper presents a proposal complementing the generative power of shape grammars with reinforcement learning techniques. We use simple (naive) shape grammars capable of generating a large variety of different designs.

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.

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.

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

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 ...

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 ...
