Based on the exploration of symmetry grammars during the Shape Machine workshop, this project focuses on unraveling the Alhambra pattern, celebrated for its complex symmetry and historical significance. By defining initial shapes, rules, and derivations, the project demonstrates how shape grammars can create visually captivating and mathematically sophisticated designs. Using traditional techniques alongside advanced tools like the Shape Machine, the work showcases the potential of symmetry grammars to enhance generative design skills and deepen the understanding of visual computation in design.
