                Abstract: 
                GEOWIN, a computational system based on rules for generating visual patterns is being developed and this paper describes the work done so far. Rules are used to implement shape grammars to represent styles of visual composition. This work is a continuation of previously published work addressing the construction of a system employing shape grammar rules grouped to emulate styles of visual composition, in order to support the behavior of different artistic creative intelligent agents with different styles. One of the goals of this work is to have a multi agent system that, by making use of the shape grammar formalism, will be able to support creative visual composition synthesis activities, with each intervening agent giving its creative contribution through a style of its own. Another goal is to use the system as a tool to realize, test and study creativity criteria and creative processes.
