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, 2003The 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, 2018This 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

Supporting Creativity : with Emergent Shapes in Shape Grammars
2023 18th Iberian Conference on Information Systems and Technologies (CISTI), 2023This 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.

Efficiency in shaping grammars
Pragmatics and Society, 2021AbstractHawkins (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 ...

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 ...

Enabling the Use of Shape Grammars: Shape Grammar Interpretation Through General Shape Recognition
Volume 4: 12th International Conference on Design Theory and Methodology, 2000Abstract 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.

A whole-grammar implementation of shape grammars for designers
Artificial Intelligence for Engineering Design, Analysis and Manufacturing, 2018AbstractI 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, 1987How 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 ...

Introduction to shape and shape grammars
Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 1980The definitions pertaining to the shape grammar formalism are developed in detail.In this paper, we take a whirlwind tour through the shape grammar formalism, and the definitions and ideas on which it is based. The formal machinery for the algorithmic definition of languages of two- and three-dimensional spatial designs is thus established.
