Abstract
In this paper, a class of non-manifold polyhedron is introduced and researched from a decomposition and mapping model (D-M for short). Design computing from function-to-form mapping and shape decomposition etc is reported. Modelling of non-manifold polyhedron is the key issue to develop function to form mapping process; and research on function to form mapping could help to develop the creative computational design tools.
