Thanks for sharing, I never heard about this before! The Wikipedia article on shape grammar has a link to an old website[1] from a workshop at MIT that links to many more interesting resources, including the “Shape” book by George Stiny you mentioned as a free download (not sure if the author agreed to this, so I’ll just use it as a reading sample and buy the book if I like it), course material, presentations, etc.
I also found a more recent book[2] by George Stiny called “Shapes of Imagination: Calculating in Coleridge's Magical Realm” that is also about shape grammars and is actually open access. Coming from a design background, I am sure to take a closer look at some of this stuff.
