“…An extensive number of grammar studies have been done to understand the compositional design principles underlying in recurring artifacts that either belong to a period (Flemming, 1987), culture (Ç ag˘das¸, 1996a;Ç olakog˘lu, 2005;Chiou and Krishnamurti 1995;Said, 2008), regional culture (Downing and Flemming, 1981), building type (Ç ag˘das¸, 1996b), or an architect (Flemming, 1981). All research in question analyzes the underlying architectural grammar by retrieving the rules that compose the architectural language.…”

Turkish vernacular housing architecture is in danger of extinction. Original village patterns deteriorate due to new developments, which are discordant with existing settlements and social lifestyle. This paper claims to ensure the cultural continuity of Turkish vernacular housing architecture by adapting new residential designs to the existent environment with a parametric shape grammar method. Originally, vernacular house plans included the allocation of space around a hall: a Sofa. This study firstly exposes spatial organization and grammar rule sets according to the relation between the sofa and remaining spaces, secondly considers current physical problems and villagers' contemporary living demands and finally creates design solutions coherent with the actual vernacular character by adapting a new design grammar to the existing design.

“…In architecture, shape grammars [Stiny 1975;Stiny 1980] were successfully used for the construction and analysis of architectural design [Downing and Flemming 1981;Duarte 2002;Flemming 1987;Koning and Eizenberg 1981;Stiny and Mitchell 1978]. The original formulation of the shape grammar operates directly on an arrangement of labeled lines and points.…”

Figure 1: This figure shows the application of CGA shape, a novel shape grammar for the procedural modeling of computer graphics architecture. First, the grammar generates procedural variations of the building mass model using volumetric shapes and then proceeds to create façade detail consistent with the mass model. Context sensitive rules ensure that entities like windows or doors do not intersect with other walls, that doors give out on terraces or the street level, that terraces are bounded by railings, etc. AbstractCGA shape, a novel shape grammar for the procedural modeling of CG architecture, produces building shells with high visual quality and geometric detail. It produces extensive architectural models for computer games and movies, at low cost. Context sensitive shape rules allow the user to specify interactions between the entities of the hierarchical shape descriptions. Selected examples demonstrate solutions to previously unsolved modeling problems, especially to consistent mass modeling with volumetric shapes of arbitrary orientation. CGA shape is shown to efficiently generate massive urban models with unprecedented level of detail, with the virtual rebuilding of the archaeological site of Pompeii as a case in point.

“…The first and original formulation of shape grammar deals with arrangement and location of points and labeled lines. Therefore, this method was used for architecture applications, for construction and analysis of architectural design [1].…”

This paper presents a unique solution to the visibility problem in 3D urban environments generated by procedural modeling. We shall introduce a visibility algorithm for a 3D urban environment, consisting of mass modeling shapes. Mass modeling consists of basic shape vocabulary with a box as the basic structure. Using boxes as simple mass model shapes, one can generate basic building blocks such as L, H, U and T shapes, creating a complex urban environment model computing visible parts. Visibility analysis is based on an analytic solution for basic building structures as a single box. A building structure is presented as a continuous parameterization approximating of the building's corners. The algorithm quickly generates the visible surfaces' boundary of a single building and, consequently, its visible pyramid volume. Using simple geometric operations of projections and intersections between these visible pyramid volumes, hidden surfaces between buildings are rapidly computed. Real urban environment from Boston, MA, approximated to the 3D basic shape vocabulary model demonstrates our approach.
