Grammar-Based Design Tools: Issues of Representation and Interaction
âą
4 gefĂ€llt mirâą1,276 views
This document discusses issues related to representing and interacting with shape grammars for conceptual design. Shape grammars can support designers' thinking by offering design alternatives, but computer implementations face challenges of representation, interaction, and computational complexity. Restrictions in early systems focused on proof of concepts rather than practical use. Ongoing research looks at grammar development environments, general shape interpreters, parameterized forms, curved shapes, and other applications, but it remains unclear how close researchers are to truly useful grammar-based design tools.
