About Shape Grammars Книга

Shape Grammars е прирачник за дизајнери за генеративни форми. Книгата истражува како уникатни парчиња можат да се произведуваат масовно. Дванаесет производствени системи беа дизајнирани и програмирани за да генерираат неограничен број индивидуални графички форми. Каталогот со мек повез содржи 836 страници и претставува 150.000 генерирани форми, подредени од строго геометриските до органски слободните. И содржината и распоредот беа произведени со прилагоден генеративен софтвер. Shape Grammars покажува некои потенцијали и ограничувања на генеративниот дизајн и служи како извор на инспирација на работната маса.

About the Златна награда A' Design Award

Shape Grammars Книга е добитник на Златната награда A' Design Award, високо престижно признание што се доделува на првокласни, прекрасни и одлични дизајни. Златните добитници се многу иновативни, визионерски и заслепувачки сјајни творби што го одразуваат талентот, мудроста и мајсторството на нивните дизајнери. Се очекува Shape Grammars Книга да биде високо пофален, трендсетерски и монументален пронајдок што носи невидена вредност. Овој дизајн со Златна награда е прекрасен, ценет проект што ги поместува границите на уметноста, науката, дизајнот и технологијата. Shape Grammars Книга создава силна желба, буди страст, поттикнува креативност и маѓепсува.

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.
