WEEK 3 READING: LEGER, LE CORBUSIER, AND PURISM
Question 1: What is Pictorial Space according to Le Corbusier? Pictorial space according to Corbusier is to be viewed from a distance and cannot be entered.
Question 2: The Flatness of Le Corbusier’s painting’s are attributable to two properties. What are they? And what are these pitted against? Le Corbusiers painting are set in the pictorial space. They are viewed in frontality and use composition to ‘make sense of the sensation’. These characteristics are pitted against the experience of rotating through a space rather then being almost forced into frontality to see the ideal composed prospect.

MARIO’S WORLD
3
1ST MARIO’S WORLD Mario World line drawing is still unresolved. Clouds are drawn incorrectly and space between the two worlds hasn’t unfolded completely.

COMBINED MARIO’S WORLD Finalised scanned line artwork. Section lines are shown in a thicker lineweight to show where the Mario World has been cut.

WEEK 4 READING: PRACTICE - ARCHITECTURE, TECHNIQUE AND PRESENTATION IN STAN ALLEN ESSAYS Question 1: Explain the difference between Pictoral (in this case perspectival) space and Projection? Stan Allen describes the projection as a drawing that is measurable and accurate. A perspective has a vanishing point and makes it subjective.
Question 2: Where did Axonometric projection first arise, and why? Axonometric projections first arose in the military to measure the paths of artilitery projectiles. The axonometric offered a scientific, measurable and accurate way of describing these paths.

APPENDIX
Drawing a plan on a 45 degree angle from the information given in our two Mario World Elevations.
Projecting the Plan in 90 degrees.
Drawing the clouds on the plan view was very confusing. This image shows the separate ‘cloud-plan’ and partial projection

Adding further characters to the axonometric.
Adding Joshi’s house.

Preparing additional details before the final trace. The scaffolding at the edge of the world represents the infinity a axonometric projection has.
