Dear Floks,

I'm writing a paper on shape grammars for a class in computational models.
Most of the references I have come across are authored by a fellow named
Stiny.  There was also a ?book? published in 1975 by Gips; its title was
"Shape Grammars and Their Uses".  If possible, I'd like to get in touch with
Stiny and/or Gips.  Does anyone know of a current address (preferably email)
for either of them?

Additionally, has anyone out there ever done any work with shape grammars,
web grammars, or L-systems? I'd like to hear about it too.  

Thanks.
