A Shape Grammar Implementation: The Case of Fishing Villages in Santa Catarina

Full Article:

The fishing villages of the Santa Catarina state, in Southern Brazil, have been suffering from a process of transformation that accompanies the replacement of the activities related to artisanal fishing in order to insert the dynamics of tourism. Aiming to preserve the underlying logic responsible for generating these self-built settlements, a shape grammar was elaborated and implemented in a visual programming environment to test its efficiency in reproducing the compositional language of the villages. The method involved the historical context and constructive typologies analysis, which made it possible to extract the corresponding rules regarding the spatial configuration of the corpus. The result emerged as a descriptive grammar, which later was implemented in a parametric modeling environment, algorithms in C# were used to generate the compositions with the aid of computational strategies based on random numbers, stochastic research and object-oriented programming
