Item Using Procedural Modelling as a Framework for Representing Style: An Example from Regency Architecture(The Eurographics Association, 2011) Calogero, Erica; Tyson, Nick; Arnold, David; Morris, David; A. Day and R. Mantiuk and E. Reinhard and R. ScopignoThis paper reports the use of shape grammars, as made available in CityEngine, to deconstruct six examples of Regency facades and uses them to form a reconstruction of Brunswick Square, in Brighton & Hove, UK. The aim of the research is to evaluate the potential for shape grammar rules to effectively encapsulate aspects of style in a formal, computational language. It is argued that such a system could both result in a stochastically based definition of Regency style with a measurable degree of certainty and enable the presentation of historical periods of history in a real-time virtual environment.
