A Generative Urban Space Design Method Based on Shape Grammar and Urban Induction Patterns

This paper focuses on how to solve the demand of quickly explore more urban space design and layout in terms conservation reuse historical blocks under computer-aided technology. Referring inductive patterns, author establishes an grammar districts based shape pattern language. It forms a complete generative method involving morphological analysis, rule-making, scheme generation. Furthermore, taking typical Russian-style block along Chinese Eastern Railway—the district front Anda Station as application example—this completed process redevelopment environmental reconstruction, which, using technology, was premise protecting original historic fabric. The final two group results experimental plot other plots show that this can accurately generate lots schemes meet designers’ pre-thinking, these be modified by real-time calculation interactive operation.
