ABSTRACT The paper develops computation, through dynamic grammars, as a third equivalent to syntactical and typological understanding of architectural design. Within theory of architectural design, syntactical and typological understanding of architecture are the two main scientific paradigms that explain how architecture is formed and conducted. As such the premise of the paper is to connect computational design as an equivalent understanding of architecture, one which has parity with the classical theoretical canon of the architectural design theories of the 20th century. To accomplish this, Dynamic grammars, i.e. shape grammars developed through animation are presented and analysed along with their mechanisms. Shape Grammars have been selected as a vehicle for this as they provide an excellent model of architectural composition with computational design, using simple mechanisms. A case study of constructivist design is analysed using dynamic grammars, showcasing the elegance and efficiency of the system in describing variants of design, maintaining parity in a syntactical and a typological understanding of design. The paper concludes with the characteristics that a computational understanding of architectural design has.

动画作为建筑设计组合的计算框架

摘要 本文通过动态语法发展计算，作为对建筑设计的句法和类型学理解的第三种等价物。在建筑设计理论中，对建筑的句法和类型学理解是解释建筑如何形成和实施的两个主要科学范式。因此，本文的前提是将计算设计连接为对建筑的等效理解，与 20 世纪建筑设计理论的经典理论经典相当。为了实现这一点，动态语法，即通过动画开发的形状语法与其机制一起被呈现和分析。Shape Grammars 被选为一种工具，因为它们使用简单的机制提供了具有计算设计的建筑组合的优秀模型。使用动态语法分析了建构主义设计的案例研究，展示了系统在描述设计变体、保持设计的句法和类型学理解上的一致性方面的优雅和效率。本文总结了对建筑设计的计算理解所具有的特征。
