Abstract :
The aim of the paper is to propose a unified modelling paradigm for shape analysis and synthesis. It is a result of efforts made for the last few years to understand the meaning of shape and how current geometric modelling systems can represent and manipulate it. The concepts discussed in the first part are further illustrated through the description of two significant applications developed at the Institute for Applied Mathematics
