School Grammar: An Exploration on Computational Processes in Architecture

Jesus, Christian Costa de; Chokyu, Margaret; Gomes, Rafael

Full Article:

Standard design for schools in underdeveloped countries seems to be the key to lowering the cost of the whole building process, from design to construction. But since it might not be suitable for different situations, the range of each design is limited. This paper presents a parametric algorithm intended to provide mass customized Architectural solutions for school buildings. A Shape Grammar based methodology for customized school designs is proposed. A set of rules is defined based on chosen characteristics in a corpus of analysis and then is implemented in an open-source modeling software. The algorithm proposed is able to provide solutions for different lots and number of students assisted.
