Most examples of shape grammars rely on labeled shapes, a combination of line segments and labeled points. Color grammars extend the shape grammar formalism to...conference paper 2012

Beirao, J.N. (author), Duarte, J.P. (author), Stouffs, R.M.F. (author)The aim of the City Induction project is to develop an urban design tool consisting of 3 parts: an urban programme formulation module, a generation module and an evaluation module. The generation module relies on a very generic Urban Grammar composed of several generic grammars called Urban Induction Patterns (UIPs) corresponding to typical...journal article 2011

Beirao, J.N. (author), Mendes, G. (author), Duarte, J. (author), Stouffs, R.M.F. (author)This paper shows the first results of a prototype implementation of a generative urban design tool. This implementation will form part of a design support tool for a GIS based platform defined to formulate, generate and evaluate urban designs. These three goals, formulation, generation and evaluation are integrated by connecting three modules...conference paper 2010
