- Description
- The two classic computational approaches to design are focussed on either space (syntax) or form (grammar) but rarely combine the two. This paper describes a method that selectively merges aspects of Space Syntax and Shape Grammar into a unique method for accommodating functional relationships into a grammar-based process and thereby providing a syntactic description of an architectural style. This new approach, called a Justified Plan Graph (JPG) grammar, offers both an insight into an architectural style and a way of producing and assessing JPG-based variations of that particular style. The JPG grammar is demonstrated in this paper using the designs of Glenn Murcutt. Seven of the steps in the grammar are described and then the tendency of these rules being applied by Murcutt is calculated. The findings of this paper suggest that the JPG grammar could be used to explore both analytical and generative issues associated with distinct architectural styles.
