A Paradigm for Interpreting Tractable Shape Grammars [PDF]
Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 2014 Shape grammars are, in general, intractable. Even amongst tractable shape grammars, their characteristics vary significantly. This paper describes a paradigm for practical general shape grammar interpreters, which aim to address computational ...

ACM SIGGRAPH 2009 Courses, 2009
The theory of shape grammars, first launched by Stiny and Gips in 1972, defines a formalism to support the ambiguity in creative processes that is generally ruled out by quantitative and symbolic computations. Since then, it has evolved into a ground-breaking pragmatist philosophy of shape and design.

Shape Grammars and Color Grammars in Design [PDF]
Environment 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.

Introduction to shape grammars
ACM SIGGRAPH 2008 classes, 2008The 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

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.

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.

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

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

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 ...

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.
