Intelligent 3D layout design with shape grammars

Shape grammars are generative systems dedicated to specific needs of designers. In the last few years, they have received increased interest especially in building reconstruction and building model generation. We propose to combine the formalism with computational intelligence methods and apply to the 3D layout problem which require efficient search of large and discontinuous spaces. The approach is illustrated by the example of a designing 3D ICs layouts. The presented results have been generated with a use of a dedicated application PerfectShape.
