    • Urban Design with Shape Grammars
The goal of an urban plan is to provide a development vision for a given territory. Three crucial issues in the conception and implementation of urban plans are how to define the program, how to convert the program into a flexible design,... more

    • Urban Deisgn Patterns and Shape Grammars
Abstract. Traditional urban plans have defi nitive design systems, without the fl exibility required to deal with the complexity and change that characterise contemporary urban societies. To provide urban plans with increased fl... more

    • Urban Design Patterns and Shape Grammars
This paper presents a shape grammar for planned urban spaces intending an implementation for generative urban design. This implementation will form part of an urban design support tool defined to formulate, generate and evaluate urban... more

Analytical work has demonstrated the potential of shape grammars for capturing rules embedded in existing design styles, and generating designs within such styles that match given design contexts. However, the creation of grammars for... more

    • Parametric Urban Design
The aim of the City Induction project is to develop an urban design tool consisting of 3 parts: an urban programme formulation module, a generation module and an evaluation module. The generation module relies on a very generic Urban... more
