Question 1: What are Durer’s rules for perspectival projection? (Maximum 100 words) Perspectival projection creates an illusion of three-dimensional space on a planar surface. In Durer’s rules for perspectival projection, he states all perpendicular or orthogonal lines meet at a vanishing point, which is determined by the perpendicular drawn from the eye to the picture plane. The other rule states that all parallel lines have a common vanishing point. Furthermore, the last rule explains the idea of space, whereby equal dimensions diminish as they recede into space.

Question 2: Describe homogenous space? (Maximum 100 words)

Homogenous space is purely a mathematical space, quite unlike the structure of psychophysiological space. The basis of homogeneity of geometric space is that all its elements are not reality and mere determinations. It is a purely functional reality, not substantial. Homogeneous space is never given it is always constructed.

QUAD PERSPECTIVE 1 + 2 Entrance Perspective This view suits my scene as it is depicting the renaissance era before the setting is destroyed by the Penates as told by the Lares. Being the renaissance era, an overall understanding of the area is needed and the angled view allows this.

Kitchen Perspective This view suits my scene as it has a clear vanishing point which correlates with the story of the scene. The scenes story is focussed around a modern day setting which depicts a rundown household. This relates to the view as it will develop an idea of sadness.

PERSPECTIVE SCENE 1 + 2

Renaissance Era This scene is about a time before the Penates ruined the city, according to the Lares. Therefore, the scene is set in the renaissance period and is full of rich materials and a highly decorative window. Furthermore, the family are of high class whilst the two god species (small angels) that hide in corners watch over them.

Modern Era Set in the kitchen, the family is living in a rundown version of the previous perspective 400 years on. The Penates have ruined the house as can be seen with the rundown kitchen and the fragmented marble columns. Furthermore, the family has been deeply affected by this evident through their body language whilst the two god species watch over them.

WEEK 4 READING: TITLE OF READING Complete your reading before attempting these questions:

Question 1: What is the difference between autographic and allographic practice? (Maximum 100 words) Autographic practice describes a practice where the creator invents an original style creating authenticity in their work. Whereas, allographic practice is work which has been transformed and take inspiration from other creations to make a new notation.

Question 2: Why do architects need new representational techniques? (Maximum 100 words) Architects need to shift from the generic representations due to the effects of technology: the atomisation of information, the splintering of perspectives, and the uncontrollable proliferation of depthless images. New urban phenomena force architects to change to map these unmappable territories which are now arising in ‘edge cities’ or generic cities’. They cannot afford to step back and they must invent new ways to work more effectively within the immaterial networks and systems that are arising in today’s society.
