Making grammars for material and tectonic complexity: An example of a thin-tile vault
Shape grammars are a framework to view design as non-deterministic, creative, visual computation, and making as the deterministic execution of a design in the material world. Making grammars conceive of making as creative, multi-sensory, material computation. However, examples in the literature on making grammar are insufficiently complex to demonstrate the creativity of non-visual senses in making. This paper develops a making grammar for thin-tile vault construction as a sensory ethnography to ‘show making’ to designers as being a creative practice involving visual and non-visual senses. To do so, the role of drawing in shape grammar and making grammar is differentiated, and environmental psychology is used to develop a framework for the use of drawing to depict multi-sensory processes in making grammar.
Highlights Gibson's theory of depiction is applied to making grammars. A making grammar is developed for a multi-tool & multi-material construction. The generative role of environmental factors in making is demonstrated. Making is shown to be a creative act independent of designing.
