title = "From Point Cloud to Shape Grammar to Grammatical Transformations Using Terrestrial Laser surveying to develop and compare shape grammars",
abstract = "This paper describes a generative design approach integrating real building data in the process of developing a shape grammar. The goal is to assess to which extent it is feasible the use of a reverse engineering procedure to acquire actual building data and what kind of impact it may have on the development of a shape grammar. The paper describes the use of Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) techniques to acquire information on the S{\~a}o Vicente de Fora church, then the use of such information to develop the corresponding shape grammar, and finally the comparison of this grammar with the grammar of Alberti{\textquoteright}s treatise, to determine the grammatical transformations that occurred between the two grammars.",
