| summary |
Every Architectural style consists of an Architectural language with vocabulary, syntax, and semantics. The compositional principles of a particular style can be defined over as a set of rules. These rules can be reformed and converted using mathematical computational techniques using Shape Grammar (A systematic method used for interpreting spatial design and activities). Researchers across the world used shape grammar to analyse design patterns of traditional architectural styles, master architects' works, etc. These rule-based methods can be adopted into computer languages to produce new designs. Traditional Architecture of a region portrays culture integrated with all aspects of human life. The proposed paper is to study the potentials of shape grammar to use as a tool in the research of traditional architectural styles by analysing case studies. The research methodology reviews the previous shape grammar studies conducted in various conventional styles and comparative analysis of the approaches of authors in shape grammar generation. The research by Lambe and Dongre on the formulation of shape grammar of Pol houses of Ahmadabad and Cagdas's work on traditional Turkish houses is an example of this. T Knight had formulated shape grammar of Japanese tea houses, and Yousefniapasha and Teeling developed a grammar of vernacular houses facing rice fields of Mazandaran, Iran. Similarly, many researchers used shape grammars as a tool to analyse traditional architecture. So the study will compare the different traditional shape grammar generations and formulate a sample shape grammar of a traditional prototype to conclude the scope of further research in the domain. |
