Shape grammars applications have been developed in various fields including architecture, landscape, engineering, painting, furniture design, ornamental design, and others. Still, despite their success in formal analysis they have not yet managed to establish themselves in the core of architectural discipline and education, the design studio. Several exciting proposals and projects have been generated at UCLA, MIT and Carnegie Mellon during the last decade but it seems that a range of possibilities is still out there for creative usages and systematic applications of grammars in pedagogy and studio. This paper addresses some of these possibilities and raises some questions regarding the applicability of this powerful paradigm in design theory in creative work and particularly in architectural design studio showcasing some recent work at the School of Architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
