Shape grammar interpreters have been studied for more than forty years addressing several areas of design research including architectural, engineering, and product design. At the core of all these implementations, the operation of embedding – the ability of a shape grammar interpreter to search for subshapes in a geometry model even if they are not explicitly encoded in the database of the system – resists a general solution. Here, a detailed account on various constructions of embedding is provided, including determinate and indeterminate ones, to give a sense of the rising complexity of their implementation in a shape grammar interpreter, and to provide a visual map of the work accomplished in the field so far, and the work ahead too.
