Abstract

Origami: It is (the art of folding paper), and the word is derived from the Japanese, where this art uses many techniques of paper folding, resulting in different shapes and designs, starting from flat shapes through to stereoscopic vacuum shapes and ending with complex shapes.
Paper is a fragile material, but when its parts are cut and folded, it gives us a new product with different qualities in terms of durability of construction, shape and form, and because of these qualities he used cutting and folding paper to teach important lessons about the nature of construction in design education since 1925, which made that topic an important focus in Enrich the creative process of designing artwork. Therefore, the research was interested in shedding light on this method of art to find modern and fast methods of forming and placing design ideas within a methodology of thinking that the student adheres to in forming glass sculptural works for the architectural space, through: the use of paper slides (folding, bending and twisting), hollowing out in geometric shapes and shaping In it with the application of the processes of repetition and contrast..etc, and the study applied to a group of students for one group using those methods of forming to demonstrate the effect of origami art in enriching the creative process of designing glass sculpture for architecture.
The research problem appeared in:
● The need to enrich the students' creative process system in developing design ideas for designing glass sculpture works for the architectural space with modern and fast methods of modeling and forming prototypes.
The research aimed to:
Developing a proposed methodology for designing glass sculpture works for interior architecture by making use of the rules of origami art so that it can be used and applied to enrich the students' creative process system.
The importance of the research:
● Discovering modern and fast methods of building and forming educational models for designing glass sculpture for architecture.
● enriching students' creative process in developing design ideas within the proposed scientific thinking methodology for designing glass sculpture for interior architecture by making use of the origami art rules.
Force search:
● By analyzing the methodology of building and forming origami art, we can benefit from it and apply it in designing prototypes to enrich the creative process of students in developing design ideas for some of the sculptural works of the architectural space.
