Abstract :
Shape is a very important way of perceiving and reasoning about the world. The authors introduce some considerations about shape representation and abstraction tools and their interaction with analysis and synthesis processes. A generic architecture for shape-based modelling is also outlined. The concepts discussed in the first part of the article are also exemplified through the description of some significant applications developed at the Istituto per la Matematica Applicata
