Supporting design through the strategic use of shape grammars (2000)
Journal Article
Edmonds, E., Smyth, M., & Edmonds, E. A. (2000). Supporting design through the strategic use of shape grammars. Knowledge-Based Systems, 13(6), 385-393. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0950-7051%2800%2900079-4

This paper is concerned with the early processes of design, particularly in the context of spatial arrangements. We are interested in the strategies that a designer uses in order to achieve success and with the opportunities that might exist for comp...
