In Architecture in the Age of the 4th Industrial Revolution: Proceedings of the 37th eCAADe and 23rd SIGraDi Conference (349-358)

We present a tool intended to enable non-expert users to apply and manipulate a shape grammar, SMUG, which encodes the urban design of informal settlements such as favelas. Such tool, the Interpreter, was developed considering that students would be... Read More about Implementing the Santa Marta Urban Grammar - A pedagogical tool for design computing in architecture.

Comparing digital tools for implementing a generative system for the design of customized tableware (2019)
Journal Article
Castro e Costa, E., Jorge, J., & Duarte, J. (2019). Comparing digital tools for implementing a generative system for the design of customized tableware. Computer-Aided Design and Applications, 16(5), 803-821. https://doi.org/10.14733/cadaps.2019.803-821

In typical mass customization design processes, designers encode design processes into configurators that are subsequently used by end-users to customize products. Using the case study of ceramic tableware, we explore how to extend the role of design...
