																 This paper introduces the special issue “Advances in Implemented Shape  Grammars: Solutions and Applications” and frames the topic of computer  implementations of shape grammars, both with a theoretical and an  applied focus. This special issue focuses on the current state of the  art regarding computer implementations of shape grammars and brings a  discussion about how those systems can evolve in the coming years so  that they can be used in real life design scenarios. This paper presents  a brief state of the art of shape grammars implementation and an  overview of the papers included in the current special issue categorized  under technical design, interpreters and interface design, and uses  cases. The paper ends with a comprehensive outlook into the future of  shape grammars implementations.
