Abstract: In this paper we present a representation of shapes and shape semantics, and processes for the emergence of shape semantics. Constraints on the behaviours of shapes are used to define shape semantics, in particular, visual symmetry and visual rhythm. A process model of emergence of shape semantics which relies on this representation is developed. The discovery of symmetry in architectural plans is demonstrated.
