Abstract

A parametric shape grammar that characterizes the plan designs of Wren's City churches is developed. The grammar formally specifies the generation of each design in its language and classifies them into four basic types. Each type is defined formally by a shape-rule lattice. Complex compositions are characterized as variations of these simple types. Variations on a type are specified formally as simple changes to the grammars' shape rules.
