The output knowledge consists of an acquisition of basic processes of parametric modeling of stereotomous structures and verifying its properties and behavior on a physical paper model.

Previous completion of subjects KOV or ZAN (lead by Assoc.Prof. Palacky), knowledge of Origami and sensitive relationship to detail, knowledge of 3D software Rhinoceros, or other solid modelers, analytical thinking, knowledge of English to be able to participate in the discussion in one of the discussion forums.

Not applicable.

Lectures and presentations, seminars and individual consultations in the form of teaching assignments - individual assignment, individual consultation, E-Learning support. Teaching on computers.

The conditions for granting credit are based on active learning and completion of individually assigned tasks. To obtain credit, it is necessary to submit the final project and submit it by the specified deadline.

1. Introduction to planar construction materials / theoretical background to paper folding / Platonic solids
2. Grasshopper components / Function of form, surfaces, structures and vaults, precedent studies
3. Paper folding methodology
4. Individually designed component development
5. Grasshopper basics
6. Parametric model basics
7. Simulating growth and evolvement on a paper model
8. Deriving a spatial geometry from the paper model
9. Transfer of the proposal into parametrics
10. Modification of the 3D form
11. 3D geometry transfer into planar surface
12. Final paper model making

Not applicable.

The first aim of the subject is a structive - tactile work with form, architectural space and light. The second aim is to get acquainted with the basics of parametric model making using Rhinoceros software and Grasshopper plugin.

Presence at lectures and seminars results from the duty to consult with the teacher about the seminar assignments.
