Towards the Mass Customization of Housing: The Grammar of Siza's Houses at Malagueira

Abstract: The goal of the described research is an interactive computer system for the design of customized mass housing. Shape grammars are the formalism proposed to systematize the design rules required for such a system. A shape grammar for Alvaro Siza's patio houses at Malagueira, a 1200-unit development still being designed and constructed today, is presented. The grammar is based on the corpus of thirty-five houses designed between 1977 and 1996. The generation of houses in the grammar proceeds by the recursive di… Show more

“…Sabendo que a variabilidade e a unidade podem coexistir e serem obtidas pela aplicação de estratégias compositivas baseadas no formalismo da gramática da forma (Duarte, 2005;Mussi, 2014;Eloy, 2012), é proposta uma Gramática da Reforma para proporcionar a customização em massa de projetos de apartamentos de alto e médio padrão.…”

“…De uma maneira geral, as gramáticas da forma podem ser analíticas ou originais (Duarte, 2005). Elas são analíticas quando usadas como ferramenta de análise de um grupo de projetos -o corpus, descrevendo-os através de uma única linguagem que os represente.…”

“…The collection of unlabeled nonparametric shapes generated by the grammar is its language, which serves to describe style. The role of a shape grammar as a descriptor of style has been richly documented in the literature for a variety of fields (Stiny and Mitchell 1978;Knight 1980;Downing and Flemming 1981;Knight 1981a,b;Koning and Eizenberg Yue, Krishnamurti and Grobler 6 1981;Baker and Fenves 1990;Meyer 1995;Chiou and Krishnamurti 1995;Cagdas 1996;Antonsson and Cagan 2001;Pugliese and Cagan 2002;McCormack et al 2004;Colakoglu 2005;Duarte 2005;Stiny 2006;Duarte et al 2007;Eilouti and Al-Jokhadar 2007).…”

“…Ultimately a variety of architectural representations are needed to collectively convey formal intent and even more to convey built form. This is a familiar observation in shape computation, resulting in efforts to develop parallel and three-dimensional shape grammars to clarify intentions (Koning and Eizenberg, 1981;Duarte, 2005) as well as shape grammar interpreters to illustrate grammars as computer implementations (Tapia, 1999;Hoisl and Shea, 2011;Trescak et al, 2012;Grasl and Economou, 2013). Despite these efforts, grammars remain close to their two-dimensional origins without an adaptable framework that can lend itself to multiple custom endeavors.…”
