Eloy, Sara (author), Vermaas, P.E. (author)Purpose: Customization is a paradox in architecture, providing necessary modernization for buildings but potentially damaging their architectural integrity. In this paper, the authors introduce the Inhabitant-Driven Customization approach for avoiding this paradox; this approach lets inhabitants design the customization from options created...journal article 2022

Eloy, Sara (author), Diaz, Maria Angela (author), Vermaas, P.E. (author)This paper presents a post-handover shape grammar for introducing inhabitants wishes in the transformation of individual houses of the Malagueira housing complex by Álvaro Siza Vieira in Évora, Portugal. The presented research includes a case study developed in the context of the workshop Gramática da Forma em estudos de habitação - análise,...conference paper 2018

Tran, H. (author), Khoshelham, K. (author), Kealy, A. (author), Díaz-Vilarino, L. (author)3D models of indoor environments are essential for many application domains such as navigation guidance, emergency management and a range of indoor location-based services. The principal components defined in different BIM standards contain not only building elements, such as floors, walls and doors, but also navigable spaces and their...conference paper 2017

Stouffs, R.M.F.A. (author)Shape grammars come in a variety of forms. Algebras of shapes have been defined for spatial elements of different kinds, as well as for shapes augmented with varying attributes, allowing for grammar forms to be expressed in terms of a direct product of basic algebras. This algebraic approach is extended here to the algebraic derivation of...conference paper 2016

Stouffs, R.M.F.A. (author)A description grammar, in conjunction with a shape grammar, serves to generate verbal descriptions of designs, next to the spatial descriptions. These verbal descriptions can also assist in guiding the generative process. This paper revisits applications of description grammars found in literature and demonstrates how they can be recast and...journal article 2016

Stouffs, R.M.F. (author)Description grammars represent a formalism for generating verbal descriptions of designs, used in conjunction with shape grammars. A description grammar constitutes a set of description rules that define a language of descriptions. A description grammar interpreter implements the mechanisms to interpret descriptions and description rules, apply...conference paper 2015

Stouffs, R.M.F. (author)We present an overview of seventeen different accounts of the application of description grammars (or description functions), characterizing them according to their role in the grammatical design generation process and according to their representational specification. The objective and intended use of this overview is twofold: firstly as a...conference paper 2015

Verkerk, N.M. (author)Shape grammars are systems of transformational rules that describe the design of a shape. Most studies towards the application of shape grammar are analytical in describing a specific building style. The main part of this research will describe a comparison of the rule systems and rule structures of four different grammars: the Prairie house,...master thesis 2014

Stouffs, R.M.F. (author)This paper explores a generalized specification for descriptions and description rules, on the basis of an extensive overview of applications of description grammars in literature. The aim of this research is to establish a formal representation for description rules and the implementation of a grammar interpreter that supports the specification...conference paper 2014

Rua, H. (author), Falcao, A.P. (author), Roxo, A.F. (author)The idea of city has now surpassed its physical concept. The emergence of the Internet and the growing development of information and communication technologies (ICT) have changed the behaviour of our society in the past decade and revolutionised the traditional ways of representing space. The classic 2D (floor plans, sections and elevations)...conference paper 2013

Mendes, L.T. (author), Beirão, J.N. (author), Duarte, J.P. (author), Celani, G. (author)This paper presents the analysis of a bottom-up design system using shape grammars. This research is part of a larger study that proposes the development of a generic grammar to improve the quality of site development in social housing plans, including the improvement of their public spaces. We show the use of shape grammars as an analytical...conference paper 2013

Strobbe, T. (author), De Meyer, R. (author), Van Campenhout, J. (author)Due to a growing number of regulations and standards, building performance becomes equally important as traditional design drivers. Therefore, it is necessary to quickly explore design alternatives that meet these performance requirements. To support this complex design task, a rule-based design system is proposed that is founded on a shape...conference paper 2013
