An Evaluation of Shape/Split Grammars for Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shape grammars have been used as a method for modeling buildings, both in architecture and in computer graphics. In this report, we survey some of the shape grammar papers, present some projects using shape grammars, and give our evaluation of shape grammars in computer graphics. In particular, we feel shape grammars are useful for generating a large variety of buildings, such as might be needed in computer games or animations, and that they could also be useful in design for exploring a large number of similar variations. However, we feel they are less useful for the design of new buildings or modeling of existing buildings.

Shape Grammars for Architectural Heritage
Shape grammars have been introduced in architectural theory some decades ago. They have been applied to architectural construction methods (e.g. Chinese traditional wooden buildings) or for analyzing the design patterns of well-known architects (e.g. Palladio, Frank Lloyd-Wright). These examples demonstrated that complex geometrical shapes could be generated by a set of replacement rules out of...
متن کاملState-Split for Hypergraphs with an Application to Tree Adjoining Grammars
In this work, we present a generalization of the state-split method to probabilistic hypergraphs. We show how to represent the derivational stucture of probabilistic tree-adjoining grammars by hypergraphs and detail how the generalized state-split procedure can be applied to such representations, yielding a state-split procedure for tree-adjoining grammars.
متن کاملShape Grammars and the Generative Specification of Painting and Sculpture
A method of shape generation using shape grammars which take shape as primitive and have shape-specific rules is presented. A formalism for the complete, generative specification of a class of non-representational, geometric paintings or sculptures is defined which has shape grammars as its structural component. Paintings are material representations of two-dimensional shapes gen~rated by shape...
متن کاملAvailability evaluation of Software architecture of object oriented Style using coloured Petri nets
Software architecture is one of the most fundamental products in the process of software development in the areas of behavioral or non- behavioral features like availability or transformability change. There are different ways to evaluate software architecture one of which is the creation of application model. An executable model of software architecture is an official description of architectu...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Performance Evaluation of Homogeneous Architectural Styles
Software architecture is considered one of the most important indices of software engineering today. Software Architecture is a technical description of a system indicating its component structures and their relationships, and is the principles and rules governing designing. The success of the software depends on whether the system can satisfy the quality attributes. One of the most critical as...
