3 Generative Design Grammars

A generative design grammar is a set of rules that describe a design style. In this book we show how such a grammar can be developed to design places in 3D virtual worlds. By encoding the design style as a grammar, the rules can be executed to generate many different individual designs sharing the style, in contrast to the current practice of handcrafting each individual design. This chapter presents a framework that provides organizing principles for developing a grammar that addresses the essential considerations in designing places in virtual worlds. The framework specifies the general structure of the design grammar and its basic components: the design rules. Designers can develop their own grammars for designing ...
