About Shape Grammars Buku

Shape Grammars adalah buku panduan bagi desainer tentang bentuk-bentuk generatif. Buku ini menelusuri bagaimana karya-karya yang unik dapat diproduksi secara massal. Dua belas sistem produksi dirancang dan diprogram untuk menghasilkan jumlah bentuk grafis individual yang tak terbatas. Katalog bersampul lunak ini terdiri dari 836 halaman dan menyajikan 150.000 bentuk hasil generasi, yang diurutkan dari yang sangat geometris hingga yang bebas dan organik. Baik isi maupun tata letaknya diproduksi dengan perangkat lunak generatif yang dibuat khusus. Shape Grammars memperlihatkan sejumlah potensi dan keterbatasan desain generatif serta berfungsi sebagai sumber inspirasi di meja kerja.

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.
