contents Addressing the challenge of modular architectural design, this study presents a novel approach through the implementation of a shape grammar system using functional and object-oriented programming principles from computer science. The focus lies on the modular generation of plates in the style of French Neoclassical architect Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand, known for his modular rule-based method to architecture, demonstrating the system's capacity to articulate intricate architectural forms systematically. By leveraging computer programming principles, the proposed methodology allows for the creation of diverse designs while adhering to the inherent logic of Durand's original plates. The integration of Shape Machine allows a flexible framework for architects and designers, enabling the generation of complex structures in a modular fashion in existing CAD software. This research contributes to the exploration of computational tools in architectural design, offering a versatile solution for the synthesis of historically significant architectural elements.
