Abstract

There is now a growing interest in the design and construction of shells whose median surfaces cannot be defined by analytic formulas, i.e. it is difficult to apply geometric modeling, and shell structures of the folded type formed by the intersection of flat or curvilinear elements. These structures are executed in the style of digital architecture or experimental methods. Based on the research of descriptive and analytical geometry, architects in the 20th and early 21st century created many memorable folded structures of various purposes. This is illustrated in the article on the example of many flat-sided structures. The illustrations found on the Internet and the author's personal photos were used. Based on the carried-out research it is concluded that flat-sided folds were used very widely in various fields of architecture and construction. The availability of numerical methods of calculation makes it possible to design structures of various degrees of complexity. This is confirmed by references to numerous sources used. However, some architects disagree with this conclusion, believing that despite many attempts on folding, it remains one of the least studied forms in architecture.
