Abstract
We revisit two case studies that adopt a shape grammar to
relate different architectural styles. Both adopt a description scheme,
augmenting the shape grammar, as the main vehicle for relating different
styles, however, they both present the description rules only
conceptually. Following a description grammar interpreter and its notation
for descriptions and description rules, we explore a valid explication
of both description schemes. This exploration serves three purposes:
firstly, as a demonstration of the notation adopted; secondly, as
an evaluation of the applicability of the description grammar interpreter
and its notation to these case studies; and, thirdly, as a demonstration
of the explication of description grammars from concept to
computation.
