About Shape Grammars Libër

Shape Grammars është një manual dizajneri mbi format gjenerative. Libri eksploron se si copa unike mund të prodhohen në masë. Dymbëdhjetë sisteme prodhimi u projektuan dhe u programuan për të gjeneruar një numër të pakufizuar formash grafike individuale. Katalogu me kapak të butë përmban 836 faqe dhe paraqet 150,000 forma të gjeneruara, të renditura nga ato rreptësisht gjeometrike deri tek ato organikisht të lira. Si përmbajtja ashtu edhe faqosja u prodhuan me softuer gjenerativ të personalizuar. Shape Grammars tregon disa nga potencialet dhe kufizimet e dizajnit gjenerativ dhe shërben si burim frymëzimi në tavolinën e punës.

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

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.
