Charlie, Very interesting project of yours. I have being thinking something similar in our description of images, we have a rich natural languages, yet it remains hard to describe an image or object, you have to use a design tool, rather than words. Using well known objects as starting objects then modifying them with words, eg "a table with legs a third of the length", may describe a coffee table, and be able to draw it for us.
I will watch you progress with interest.
