Shape Grammar

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Shape Grammarsframework0.943
  A computational design method based on shape rewriting rules, developed by George Stiny; noted as academic and not yet practically useful for living structure.
• Form Languageconcept0.782
  A combinatory system of concrete rules that guides the implementation of adapted structure, oriented by the living process.
• Good Shapeconcept0.768
  The property that a good shape is a center made up of powerful intense centers which themselves have good shape; built up from elementary figures with high internal symmetries, bilateral symmetry, a well-marked center, compactness, and closure
• Geometryconcept0.757
  The actual shapes and spatial relationships of buildings, essential to living structure.
• Transformational Grammarframework0.756
  A linguistic framework where sentences are generated by successive transformations; analogous to differentiation in architecture.
• Good-Shape Transformationconcept0.753
  A transformation that intensifies products of alternating repetition by strengthening loosely formed shapes and giving more life to centers within them.
• Grammar as Positional Encoding for Languagehypothesis0.746
  Hypothesis that in language tasks, the abstract structure encoded in positional encodings corresponds to grammatical structure.
• Boundariesconcept0.731
  The property that living centers are formed and strengthened by boundaries which both separate and unite; the boundary must be of the same order of magnitude as the center being bounded and is itself made of centers
