Shape Grammar
Shape grammars in computation are a specific class of production systems that generate geometric shapes. Typically, shapes are 2- or 3-dimensional, thus shape grammars are a way to study 2- and 3-dimensional languages. The foundation of shape grammars has been defined in a seminal article by George Stiny and James Gips in 1971.

It’s bigger than that.
It’s less than a leg
And more than a nose,
Just under the water
It usually goes.”
