Abstract: Shapes and shape grammars use algebras of subshapes in the description and generation of designs. Different types of boundary, including element boundaries, closure boundaries, and specially defined boundary shapes, are defined in shape algebra descriptions. These are compared to boundaries in point set topologies used in geometric modelling for computer-aided design. It is shown that boundaries emerge in shape algebra descriptions but are inherited from the underlying topology in point set representations.
