About Shape Grammars Boky
Ny Shape Grammars dia boky torolalana ho an'ny mpamorona momba ny endrika miforona ho azy (generative shapes). Mandinika ny fomba ahafahana mamokatra amin'ny habetsahany ireo singa tsy manam-paharoa ity boky ity. Rafitra famokarana roa ambin'ny folo no novolavolaina sy nofehezina amin'ny programa mba hamorona endrika sary tsirairay tsy misy fetra. Mirakitra pejy 836 ilay katalaogy misy fono malefaka ary mampiseho endrika 150.000 novokarina, voalahatra manomboka amin'ny jeometrika hentitra ka hatramin'ny malalaka sy voajanahary. Samy novokarina tamin'ny rindrambaiko generative natao manokana na ny votoatiny na ny fandaharana azy. Asehon'ny Shape Grammars ny fahafahana sy ny fetran'ny famoronana generative sasany ary manjary loharanom-piaingam-panahy eo ambony latabatra fiasana izy.

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.
