“…In contrast, two grammatical studies focus on the generation of architectural and spatial layouts. Paulino, Ligler and Napolitano [16] develop a shape grammar for Sobrado buildings in São Luís, Brazil, transforming the spatial configuration of the historic architecture into contemporary social housing (e.g., for a multi-family apartment). Their research contributes to the adaptive reuse of traditional architecture by offering a comprehensive explanation of the reviver grammar and its application.…”

“…The Reviver grammar (RG) is introduced in (Paulino et al, 2023(Paulino et al, , 2022 as strategy for analyzing and facilitating the transformation of buildings in the Historic Centre of São Luís -Brazil (HCSL), a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site. Essentially, the grammar defines a strategy for subdividing a given floor plan, maximizing the reuse of existing elements, such as structural walls and openings, and allocating apartment units based on existing daylight conditions.…”

Adaptive reuse is a challenging problem that combines spatial, structural, and architectural requirements, along with current restrictions in design, enhanced in buildings with heritage value. In this scenario, generative design techniques allow for exploring different arrangements for a pre-defined problem, assisting professionals during complex design tasks. Therefore, this work explores the potential of Shape Grammars in generating solutions for the adaptive reuse of Sobrado buildings, the prevalent typology in the historic center of São Luís. This paper focuses on the computational implementation of the transformation rules using rhino script syntax and python. The methodology proposes a framework for adapting buildings into multi-family apartments, considering existing spatial and structural requirements. It investigates the allocation of three apartment types in the floor plan: studios, one-bedroom, and twobedroom apartments. The adopted strategy for the distribution of internal spaces considers existing elements, such as windows and balconies, allowing to benefit from the natural daylighting characteristics of the buildings, following the original projects during the XVIII and XIX centuries. An interactive approach is implemented to explore the potential of generating diverse spatial arrangements during the adaptive reuse process.

“…The research content includes the relationship between the functional layout of buildings and the shape relationship of building facades and component forms. For example, Daniele M. S. Paulino et al, in 2023, proposed a typology-based grammar for generating the functional layout of the plan of the Sobrado buildings of the historic center of São Luís, Brazil [20]. Jiang Wang et al, in 2021, performed shape induction and generation derivation for the functional layout and body block patterns of rural housing in China in response to user needs [21].…”

This paper focuses on how to solve the demand of how to quickly explore more urban space design and layout in terms of the conservation and reuse of historical blocks under computer-aided design technology. Referring to urban inductive patterns, the author establishes an urban space design grammar of historical districts based on shape grammar and pattern language. It forms a complete generative urban space design method involving morphological analysis, rule-making, and scheme generation. Furthermore, taking the typical Russian-style historical block along the Chinese Eastern Railway—the historical district in front of Anda Station as an application example—this paper completed the generative urban space design process of block redevelopment and environmental reconstruction, which, using computer-aided technology, was under the premise of protecting the original historic block fabric. The final two group results of the experimental plot and the other plots of the historical district show that this method can quickly and accurately generate lots of urban space design schemes that meet the designers’ pre-thinking, and these schemes can be modified by real-time calculation and interactive operation.
