Based on research into the field of space design in connection with light and glass, the diploma thesis deals with the design of a room divider with light.
In the first, theoretical part, I discuss where we use glass and describe the types of glass used in interior architecture; these are window glass, laminated, tempered glass and mirrors. Then I define the relation glass - light - space and explain its application on architectural examples. These are the Temple of Amun-Ra in Karnak, the Pantheon, the Cathedral of Saint-Denise, Fransworth House and the Ronchamp Chapel. In the following, I discuss the works of reference authors, on the basis of which I drew inspiration for the realization of the practical work.
In the second part, I initially define the goals that I want to translate into the final product. Then I dedicate myself to finding inspiration in the curves that are present in nature. Through sketches and making models I look for a form that would encompass the entirety of my thinking and research. The very process of planning room divider leads me through new knowledge about 3D-modeling, 3D-scanning and 3D-printing, with the help of which I make models. The partition wall is divided into two parts, the first part are glass panels, which represent a unique part of the room divider. The second is a system of modular holders for glass panels, with an included artificial light source, representing an industrial part. Due to its size, the partition wall is only shown in scale models. The first one shows the whole room divider and is shown in 1 : 6 scale, while the second is designed in life size and shows only the function of holders for glass panels.
