Typological Study: At the first part of typological study single and double symmetry axis on facade is  shown with the facade drawings and their photos. The second part of the study indicates the effect of projection on facade for both corner and row houses. The different types of projections are; in the middle, close to one edge, all along the facade, in the corner (turning to the other side), not on the symmetry axis or on one side only.

Shape Grammar Study: In the coding section the codification rule of the house names are described. Each house has an id number and after id number the type of image file, house type, storey height, projection height, material of house and number of symmetry axis is indicated by letters and numbers. This codification is then given as a name to the image file. After this process, houses are classified as per the common similarities and differences on their facades. For the shape grammar study only the row houses with projection are  classified in the tables. Houses without projection are also shown but not classified in details.

 

Codification:

 

	Image file type: FC:             Facade PH:              Photo MP:            Map   House type: Ro: Row house Co: Corner house   #ST: # of storey  (#: 1, 2, 3, 4) #PR: # height of projection (#: 0, 1, 2, 3) $M:   $: material of house   ($: w for wooden, s for stone) #A:   #: number of symmetry axis (#:1, 2)

 

General Facade Properties:

 

#  of Storeys: 2, 3, 4   Width of facade (# of symmetry axis 1 or 2)   # of windows by storey (windows on two sides of single projection will be counted as one with the one on facade all together 3:1)   width of windows (windows besides projections are ½ unit)   # of projections   width of projecton (1, 2, 3 unit windows)   type of projections (single, double, along facade, corner turning, stuck on one side)             place of projections (in the  middle, not in the axis (left, right) stuck on one side (left, right)             floor of projection (place on facade)   storey height of projections (1, 2, 3)             top of projection type (balcony over projection or roof over projection)   type of balcony (balcony only over projection, cantilever balcony)   place of door (left or right) + stairs   width of door single leaf or double leaf   with cellar or without cellar (if with cellar then additional steps infront of door entrance also additional cellar windows)

 

Type of houses used for the study: row houses with projection (without projection is also shown but not detailed) with or without balconies with or without cellar and cellar windows with or without stairs in the entrance

Variables of the facades: with or without projection number of symmetry axis (1 or 2) floor of projection (2nd, 3rd, 4th) storey height of projection (1, 2, 3) top of projection type (balcony, roof) type of balcony (over projection, cantilever) width of projetion (1 or 2 unit window) with or withour cellar windows and stairs (only for 2 storey highs)
