Abstract

Design grammars as one of the well-known generative design formalisms have evolved and been tested for nearly 40 years across a wide range of design disciplines including architectural design, product design, engineering design and so on. Over the years, grammar research has transformed from the early focus of mathematical models to the current computational implementations. This paper revisits the grammatical approach to generative design, and presents the conceptual framework of Generative Design Grammars (GDG) together with a demonstration for supporting dynamic and autonomous design in contemporary CAAD tools i.e. 3D virtual environments. Integrated with an agent model and a simulation engine, GDG provides an intelligent approach towards dynamic and autonomous design. This intelligent approach to utilising computer technologies in design implies both opportunities and challenges for designers.
