DCG Lectures: Supergrid: o kit de partes como gramática da forma – Pedro Engel
Os exercício de kit-de-partes pertencem a uma tradição didática onde a composição arquitetônica é limitada pelo uso de uma coleção específica de elementos e por regras claras de combinação. Um kit-de-partes pode ser entendido como uma gramática arquitetônica e, portanto, é passível de codificação. O Supergrid é um algoritmo que explora o potencial computacional implícito […]
