About Shape Grammars Knjiga
Shape Grammars je dizajnerski priručnik o generativnim oblicima. Knjiga istražuje kako jedinstveni komadi mogu biti masovno proizvedeni. Dvanaest proizvodnih sistema je dizajnirano i programirano da generišu neograničen broj pojedinačnih grafičkih oblika. Katalog u mekom povezu sadrži 836 stranica i predstavlja 150.000 generisanih oblika, sortiranih od strogo geometrijskih do organski slobodnih. I sadržaj i prelom su proizvedeni pomoću prilagođenog generativnog softvera. Shape Grammars prikazuje neke potencijale i ograničenja generativnog dizajna i služi kao izvor inspiracije na radnom stolu.
About the Златна награда A' Design Award
Shape Grammars Knjiga је добитник Златне награде A' Design Award, огромно престижног признања које се додељује првокласним, дивним и изванредним дизајнима. Добитници Златне награде изузетно су иновативне, визионарске и блиставо задивљујуће творевине које одражавају геније, мудрост и умеће својих дизајнера. Очекује се да Shape Grammars Knjiga буде високо хваљен, трендсетерски и монументалан изум који доноси беспримерну вредност. Овај дизајн награђен Златном наградом A' Design Award спектакуларно је, поштовано дело које у великој мери користи и помера границе уметности, науке, дизајна и технологије. Shape Grammars Knjiga ствара интензивна осећања жеље, буди страст, подстиче креативност и фасцинира нас.
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.
