The use of digital fabrication tools can extend beyond the seamless materialization of the
digital model and can continuously inform design ideation through emerging material …

This paper proposes the Uncertainty Driven Action (UDA) model, which unifies the
fragmented literature on design activity. The UDA model conceptualises design activity as a …

The field of shape grammars spans 47 years, but its potential in the practice and education
of art, architecture, and engineering remains far from being utilized. Similarly, while reverse …

Shape grammars have offered a unique computational theory of design over the past forty or
so years. Although the focus of shape grammar theory has been on shapes and designs, the …

Designers physically engage with a material to experience how certain characteristics allow
the fabrication of unique expressions. In digital fabrication, however, this improvisational …
