Generating Circulation Designs Using Shape Grammars

With the development of science,technology and cultural progress,our people's material life more enriched.And commercial space,to a large extent,affected our product experience.A good commercial space,not only should meet the functional requirements which is able to display goods,but also can increase the appeal of commodities to consumers,so that consumers can have a better understanding of the unique nature of the goods.The consumer's movement route in space,with no doubt,is quite essential.We will analyze the issue of this from the perspective of generatix design.In the field of architecture and interior design.For stores,generatix design means that the most reasonable,most efficient route of people.Shape grammars are well-known tools to explore abstract systems of shapes and their relationships.Although there has been much research on shape grammar's use in the field of architectural styles,there has been little investigation into the concept of circulation using shape grammars.Circulation is a tool used in architecture and interior design,and is formed by connecting the points left by the movement of human beings through indoor or outdoor spaces.This thesis attempts to show that shape grammars are also helpful in this particular field.We show how a parametric shape grammar is applied to generate circulation designs,and the system automatically generates the four basic types of complex circulations.According to the specific conditions and requirements of each commercial space,different forms of circulation can be specified and generated.The first part of this article introduces the background of the subject,the significance of the research and the history and current situation of the development of circulation and shape grammar.Simple description of the concept and type of the circulation,as well as the concept of shape grammar and other related theoretical basis.The middle part is the focal point of this article.The third chapter mainly describes the whole subject process,that is,the definition of rules describing the shape grammar of circulation and the examples of generating the basic types of four kinds of circulation using these set of rules.The fourth chapter is the algorithm used to generate the basic circulation,and take the L circulation as an example.The second half is the Shape Grammar Interpreter,a tool that generates circulation.
