title	A symbolic model for shape emergence
source	Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design 24 : 509-526
summary	This paper presents a shape representation at the symbolic level that extends the properties of shape in 2D and 3D using the same formalism. This representation is based on the concept of infinite maximal lines and planes. Constraints on their properties are used to define shapes and objects. A process model of shape emergence which relies on this representation is developed. Data-driven and hypothesis-driven approaches to shape and object emergence are demonstrated.

title	An Evolutionary Approach to Generating Constraint-Based Space Layout Topologies
source	CAAD Futures 1997 [Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-7923-4726-9] München (Germany), 4-6 August 1997, pp. 855-864
summary	This paper describes a system to produce space layout topologies for architectural plans using an evolutionary approach. The layout specification is defined as a set of topological and directional constraints, which are used as a fitness function in the evolutionary system. The halfplane representation is used to represent the genotypes in the evolutionary system, for both arrangements of halfplanes and the figures generated from those arrangements. As the halfplane representation proposed here does not distinguish between straight and non-straight boundaries, at the symbolic level the spaces and the layouts produced can also be bounded by straight or non-straight lines. The well known rectangular (polyomino) arrangements become a particular case only.
