About Shape Grammars መጽሐፍ

ሼፕ ግራመርስ (Shape Grammars) ስለ ጀነሬቲቭ ቅርጾች የተዘጋጀ የዲዛይነሮች መመሪያ መጽሐፍ ነው። መጽሐፉ ልዩ ልዩ ሥራዎች እንዴት በብዛት ሊመረቱ እንደሚችሉ ይዳስሳል። ወሰን የሌላቸው በርካታ ግለሰባዊ ግራፊክ ቅርጾችን ለማመንጨት አሥራ ሁለት የምርት ሥርዓቶች ተነድፈውና ፕሮግራም ተደርገዋል። ለስላሳ ሽፋን ያለው ካታሎጉ 836 ገጾችን የያዘ ሲሆን ከጥብቅ ጂኦሜትሪያዊ እስከ ኦርጋኒክ ነጻ የሆኑ 150,000 የተመነጩ ቅርጾችን ተደራጅተው ያቀርባል። ይዘቱም ሆነ አቀማመጡ በልዩ ሁኔታ በተዘጋጀ ጀነሬቲቭ ሶፍትዌር የተመረቱ ናቸው። ሼፕ ግራመርስ የጀነሬቲቭ ዲዛይን አንዳንድ አቅሞችንና ገደቦችን የሚያሳይ ሲሆን በሥራ ጠረጴዛ ላይ የመነሳሳት ምንጭ ሆኖ ያገለግላል።

The Recognition

About the A' Design Award የወርቅ ሽልማት

Shape Grammars መጽሐፍ የA' Design Award የወርቅ ሽልማት አሸናፊ ነው፤ ይህም ለመጀመሪያ ደረጃ፣ ድንቅ እና የላቁ ዲዛይኖች የሚሰጥ እጅግ ከፍተኛ ክብር ያለው እውቅና ነው። የወርቅ አሸናፊዎች የዲዛይነሮቻቸውን ብልሃት፣ ጥበብ እና ችሎታ የሚያንጸባርቁ እጅግ ፈጠራ የተሞላባቸው፣ ራዕይ ያላቸው እና በውበታቸው የሚያስደምሙ ሥራዎች ናቸው። Shape Grammars መጽሐፍ ወደር የማይገኝለት ዋጋ የሚሰጥ እጅግ የተመሰገነ፣ አዝማሚያ ፈጣሪና ታላቅ ፈጠራ እንደሚሆን ይጠበቃል። ይህ የA' Design Award የወርቅ ሽልማትን ያሸነፈ ዲዛይን የኪነ ጥበብ፣ የሳይንስ፣ የዲዛይን እና የቴክኖሎጂ ድንበሮችን በእጅጉ የሚጠቅምና የሚያስፋፋ አስደናቂና የተከበረ ፕሮጀክት ነው። Shape Grammars መጽሐፍ ጠንካራ የፍላጎት ስሜት ይፈጥራል፣ ፍቅርን ይቀሰቅሳል፣ ፈጠራን ያበረታታል እንዲሁም ይማርከናል።

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: Shape Grammars is a study on generative shapes, asking: how can unique pieces be mass produced? 12 production systems that can generate an unlimited number of individual graphic shapes were designed and programmed. The result is a designer's handbook which, in addition to 150,000 generated shapes, shows some potentials and limitations of generative design.
Dimensions & Packaging: Soft-bound catalogue, digital print. 836 pages. 185x235x45mm
Tags: generative, shapes, book, massproduction, graphic production, shape collection, dictionary of shapes
Production Technology: The content as well as the book layout was produced with custom generative software.
Design Challenge: The main challenge was to create very simple rulesets, which are able to generate a high variety of shapes. Simple means, their logic can be expressed in a sentence, that is easily understood. Simple also means they make use of a core geometrical principle. Detailed decorations were not allowed.
Research: Graphic shapes and systems were collected, categorized and reverse-engineered. A broad range of geometrical principles for shape generation were translated into machine readable code.
Furthermore layout and sorting programs were developed.
Inspiration: Noam Chomsky has tried to formalize all sorts of languages that obey some rules. With Shape Grammars I have made a similar attempt for graphical systems. Of course, this could never be completed, but at least I wanted to try to cover as large a spectrum of geometric principles as I could.
Project Duration: The development of the book started in Wuerzburg in October 2019, was completed in Tokyo, and published by slanted publishers, Karlsruhe in July 2020
Operation Flow: The 836 page book is meant as a tool. The format is balanced between having enough space to show the shapes and being handy enough to be used during work at the desk. The weight and thickness of the book is a result of and communicates the sheer endless collection of shapes, that can be discovered, and used as a source of inspiration.
