About Shape Grammars Littafi

Shape Grammars littafin jagora ne na mai zanen kaya kan sifofin da ake samarwa ta hanyar generative. Littafin yana bincika yadda za a iya kera abubuwa na musamman a adadi mai yawa. An tsara tsarin samarwa guda goma sha biyu kuma an rubuta musu shirye-shiryen kwamfuta don samar da adadin sifofin zane-zane na daban-daban marasa iyaka. Kundin littafin mai laushin bango yana dauke da shafuka 836 kuma yana gabatar da sifofi 150,000 da aka samar, wadanda aka jera daga na geometric tsantsa zuwa na dabi'a masu 'yanci. An samar da abin da ke ciki da kuma tsarin shimfidar shafi ta amfani da software na musamman na generative. Shape Grammars yana nuna wasu damarmaki da iyakoki na zanen generative kuma yana zama tushen ilhama a kan tebur.

The Recognition

About the Kyautar A' Design Award ta Zinariya

Zanen Shape Grammars Littafi ya lashe Kyautar A' Design Award ta Zinariya, wata karramawa mai matuƙar daraja da ake bai wa zane-zane na matakin farko, masu ban mamaki kuma na musamman. Waɗanda suka lashe kyautar Zinariya ƙirƙire-ƙirƙire ne masu sababbin abubuwa sosai, masu hangen nesa kuma masu haske mai ban sha'awa waɗanda ke nuna hazaƙa, hikima da ƙwarewar masu zanensu. Ana sa ran zanen Shape Grammars Littafi ya zama ƙirƙira mai yabo sosai, mai kafa yanayi kuma babba wacce ke kawo ƙima da ba a taɓa ganin irinta ba. Wannan zane da ya lashe Kyautar A' Design Award ta Zinariya aiki ne mai ban mamaki, mai daraja wanda ke amfanar fasaha, kimiyya, zane da fasahar zamani sosai kuma yana kai iyakokinsu gaba. Zanen Shape Grammars Littafi yana haifar da tsananin sha'awa, yana tada soyayya ga aiki, yana ƙarfafa ƙirƙira kuma yana burge mu.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

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.
