About Shape Grammars Pukapuka
He puka aratohu a Shape Grammars mā te kaihoahoa mō ngā āhua whakaputa hihiri. Ka tūhura te pukapuka i te huarahi e taea ai te whakaputa nui i ngā mea motuhake. Tekau mā rua ngā pūnaha whakaputa i hoahoatia, i whakamaheretia hoki hei whakaputa i tētahi rahinga mutunga-kore o ngā āhua whakairoiro takitahi. E 836 ngā whārangi o te rārangi puka uhi-ngohe nei, ā, e whakaatu ana i te 150,000 āhua i whakaputaina, kua whakaraupapatia mai i te tino ānga āhuahanga ki te wātea rauropi. I hangaia te ihirangi me te tātai whakatakotoranga ki tētahi pūmanawa whakaputa hihiri i waihangatia motuhake. Ka whakaatu a Shape Grammars i ētahi o ngā pito mata me ngā herenga o te hoahoa whakaputa hihiri, ā, he puna whakaawe hoki i te tēpu mahi.
About the A' Design Award Koura
Ko Shape Grammars Pukapuka te toa o te A' Design Award Koura, he whakaaetanga tino whai mana e hoatu ana ki ngā hoahoa kōeke tuatahi, whakamīharo me te hiranga. Ko ngā toa Koura he mahi tino auaha, he tirohanga mamao, he kanapa ahi, e whakaatu ana i te pūmanawa, te mātauranga me te tohungatanga o ā rātou kaihoahoa. E tūmanakohia ana ko Shape Grammars Pukapuka he hanganga tūnga e whakatū ana i ngā ia, he whakanuia rawa, e kawe mai ana i te uara kāore anō kia kitea. Ko tēnei hoahoa i toa i te Koura he kaupapa whakamīharo, whakahonoretia e whakawhānui ana i ngā rohe o te toi, te pūtaiao, te hoahoa me te hangarau. Ka whakaara a Shape Grammars Pukapuka i te hiahia nui, ka whakaoho i te kaingākau, ka whakatenatena i te auaha, ā, ka whakamīharo i a tātou.
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.
