Abstract
The objective of this paper is to introduce an intuitive method for the modelling of free-form architecture with planar facets. The method, called Marionette by the authors, takes inspiration from descriptive geometry and allows to design complex shapes with one projection and the control of elevation curves. The proposed framework only deals with linear equations and therefore achieves exact planarity, for quadrilateral, Kagome and dual Kagome meshes in real-time. Remarks on how this framework relates to continuous shape parameterisation and on possible applications to engineering problems are made.
