“…(2) There are still large barriers in the transition from plane to facade generation, and the generated model facade lacks a diversity of forms. In the recent research of a combination of architectural heritage, shape grammar, and digitalization, a variety of technologies such as HBIM, 3D scanning, image recognition, and deep learning are still flourishing [44,81,82]. This paper will combine the present-day research to promote the shape generation of Kulangsu architectural heritage toward automation, generalization, and BIM-based development, making it a more scientific, efficient, and valuable tool and process to provide more support for the digital management of Kulangsu architectural heritage.…”

Architectural heritage in historic districts, as a complex type of heritage, encompasses both the uniqueness of the building itself and also shows cultural and regional characteristics as a group, especially for the heritage site that contains multi-culture features. The digitalization research of this type of heritage often focuses on the digital archiving and modeling of heritages but rarely considers the combination of culture analysis and digitalization. This paper develops a digital form generation method for the heritages in historical districts by means of typological plan analysis, the Shape Grammar method, and Grasshopper software. Based on the case study of the modern Western-style house on Kulangsu, a world heritage site and historical district, this paper include three results: (1) dividing the layout plans of Kulangsu modern Western-style houses into three types, that is, native prototypes, foreign prototypes, and mixed prototypes, with 39 sub-types in total; (2) establishing shape grammar for the layout plans of Kulangsu modern Western-style houses with shape grammar sets and “S, L, R, I” expression rules; (3) creating a digital form generation method based on shape grammar result by Grasshopper software, including function cluster creation, function cluster connection and final model generation. This paper presents an example of quantitative analysis of heritage culture and a rapid modeling method of heritage, providing a reference for the construction of a heritage culture database and digital heritage management in historic districts.

“…Defining frameworks that support adaptive reuse strategies can facilitate the development and execution of AR projects. In this context, Shape Grammars (SG) is a powerful tool for generating design solutions and defining rules to describe transformations in design processes (Duarte, 2005;Eloy and Duarte, 2015;Ligler, 2021). Defining grammar-based computational tools can advance the generation of design options for a given problem, allowing one to quickly explore a wide range of design variations.…”

Adaptive reuse is a challenging problem that combines spatial, structural, and architectural requirements, along with current restrictions in design, enhanced in buildings with heritage value. In this scenario, generative design techniques allow for exploring different arrangements for a pre-defined problem, assisting professionals during complex design tasks. Therefore, this work explores the potential of Shape Grammars in generating solutions for the adaptive reuse of Sobrado buildings, the prevalent typology in the historic center of São Luís. This paper focuses on the computational implementation of the transformation rules using rhino script syntax and python. The methodology proposes a framework for adapting buildings into multi-family apartments, considering existing spatial and structural requirements. It investigates the allocation of three apartment types in the floor plan: studios, one-bedroom, and twobedroom apartments. The adopted strategy for the distribution of internal spaces considers existing elements, such as windows and balconies, allowing to benefit from the natural daylighting characteristics of the buildings, following the original projects during the XVIII and XIX centuries. An interactive approach is implemented to explore the potential of generating diverse spatial arrangements during the adaptive reuse process.

“…SG is widely applied to understand the formal and syntactic information underlying plan layouts for spatial configuration. Studies have successfully developed SG to encode expert knowledge and reproduce design patterns of renowned architects or architectural styles [26][27][28][29]. However, few attempts have been made to produce reusable grammatical design systems for architectural design tasks, especially regarding the adaptation of buildings [30][31][32][33].…”

This research develops a shape grammar to generate solutions for the adaptive reuse of historic buildings. More precisely, it proposes a transformation grammar for sobrado buildings, a typology present in the historic center of São Luís, Brazil. The methodology defines a workflow for adapting sobrado buildings, once characterized for single-families, into multi-family apartments considering spatial and structural requirements. The grammar specifies a framework for repurposing historic buildings into social housing and considers the allocation of three types of apartments in the floor plan: studios, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom apartments. The adopted strategy for spatial planning prioritizes access to natural daylight. The grammar supports different layout solutions for the same building and aims to accelerate the reuse of historic structures for contemporary housing needs. This paper describes the grammar rules and their application to three case study buildings.
