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 ...

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.

Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 1999
The issue of decidability in relation to shape grammars is considered here. Decidability concerns, first, the identification of different types of grammars and, second, the answerability or solvability of questions about these types of grammars. In this paper, the first of these two topics is examined.

Shape Grammars: Five Questions
Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 1999In the paper “Shape grammars: six types”, the issue of decidability in relation to shape grammars was introduced. Decidability concerns, first, the identification of different types of grammars, and, second, the answerability or solvability of questions about these types of grammars. The first of these two topics was explored in “Six types”.

Shape grammars are classified into different types according to restrictions on rules. The predictabilities of the outcomes and behaviors of these different types of shape grammars are examined. Understanding the predictabilities of grammars is central to the successful design of shape grammars in creative design applications.

Algebras and Grammars for Shapes and their Boundaries
Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 2001A special kind of shape algebra is defined for concurrent computations with shapes and their boundaries, together with related shape grammars. Some new types of shape grammar are defined and classified.

Classifications of Shape Grammars
2017Since shape grammars were first described about forty five years ago, several types of grammars have emerged. The goal of this paper is to provide a framework that gathers together the main existing types of grammars. The categorization is preceded by a glossary of 19 terms related to shape grammars.
