Abstract

The developing of computer tools accelerate the designs phase for designers but the aesthetics of product appearance cannot be neglected. Shape grammar is a general computational language that manipulates shapes to generate designs. By defining the spatial relationships between those forms and how the forms are related to each other, shape rules can be written. Shape grammar was used as a tool for observing spatial relationships of design elements and principles of a space frame chassis and using biomimicry theory to give inspiration and ideas to create the new concept of supercars chassis design.
