“…Our exploratory work preceding the GSG system can be seen in [25] [26] [27], but the central ideas were described in [28] [29] [5]. As is referred in [28] [29], to support the creative activity of different kinds of users (students, designers, architects, artists) in interacting with the generic reusable shape grammar interpreter, which is the underlying core of the system, the interface, in particular the visual interface, is an important component of the GSG computational architecture, shown in Figure 1.…”

This paper describes the visual interface of a configurable and extensible system to support generic work with shape grammars. Shape grammars allow the implementation of computational mechanisms to analyze and synthesize designs of visual languages and have been used to represent the knowledge behind the creative work of architects, designers and artists. This kind of grammars is inherently visual. The system described, a kind of universal machine for shape grammars, allows users to build their own shape grammars and experiment with them. It has been the focus of our past work, it mixes technological and artistic aspects and it has a specific computational architecture which includes a symbolic and a visual interface. The latter one is the subject of this paper.

“…That is to say, in each state of the composition, how does the agent choose, among the myriad of possible options, to proceed? The generative processes of the system we proposed in previously published papers, see (Reis, 2006a), (Reis, 2006b), (Reis, 2006c), (Reis, 2006d), (Reis, 2008a) and (Reis, 2008b), are based on the shape grammar formalism. Concerning the creativity criteria, we assume it will be provided by the user as she/he can intervene in the generative process.…”

“…In this paper, we show work done and in progress in implementing part of a system proposed in previously published papers. See (Reis, 2006a), (Reis, 2006b), (Reis, 2006c), (Reis, 2006d), (Reis, 2008a) and (Reis, 2008b), where we describe a multi-agent system in which different artistic creative intelligent agents, each with its own style, are able to involve in artistic visual composition activities, and where shape grammars are used to emulate styles of visual composition of each agent. We first expose some concepts centered around computational creativity, then we introduce shape grammars briefly, and finally we describe the work done and the present state of the system implementation.…”

GEOWIN - A System for Creative Pattern Generation based on Rules

GEOWIN, a computational system based on rules for generating visual patterns is being developed and this paper describes the work done so far. Rules are used to implement shape grammars to represent styles of visual composition. This work is a continuation of previously published work addressing the construction of a system employing shape grammar rules grouped to emulate styles of visual composition, in order to support the behavior of different artistic creative intelligent agents with different styles. One of the goals of this work is to have a multi-agent system that, by making use of the shape grammar formalism, will be able to support creative visual composition synthesis activities, with each intervening agent giving its creative contribution through a style of its own. Another goal is to use the system as a tool to realize, test and study creativity criteria and creative processes.

“…These operators include the logical operators and, or and not (to logically combine facts in the antecedent part of the rule), arithmetic operators (+, -, * and /) and comparators (=, /=, >, >=, < and <=), the operator is for assignment (similar in nature to the is operator in the Prolog programming language) and an eval special operator to evaluate arbitrary Lisp expressions, possibly containing rule variables. In another paper we describe in more detail the rule language of the FC module [27].…”

This article describes a computational system based on rules for generating visual patterns. The rules, usually referred to as shape grammar rules, similar to the rules of an expert system and can take given geometric shapes to produce new shapes. Shape grammar rules can be designed and grouped to emulate styles of visual composition, and different groups of rules, or styles, can be used to simulate different artistic intelligent agents with different styles. The idea is to have a system that, by making use of the shape grammar formalism, can support visual composition synthesis activities, with each intervening agent giving its creative contribution through a style of its own.
