Question 1: What are Durer’s rules for perspectival projection?

Durer’s simplified explanation of perspectival projection is that all perpendiculars and orthogonals in a perspectival projection meet at the appropriate at a single central vanishing point, Secondly, all parallel lines have a same shared vanishing point, regardless of the direction they lie in.

Horizontal projections have vanishing points that lie on the horizontal line through the central vanishing point for lines that are on a 45-degree angle with the picture plane, the distance between their vanishing point and the central one should be equal to the distance between the picture plane and the eye.

Question 2: Describe homogenous space?

Geometrically, homogenous space means that at any point in space, it is possible to draw similar figures in every direction and of the same magnitude. In a mathematical sense of area, whereby in a geometrical plane it must be possible to draw similar figures in all directions and of all magnitudes from every point in the given space.

The space is now known to be a ‘given space’, and homogenous space becomes the space constructed between objects in perspective drawings.

INVISIBLE CITY: Hidden cities 4: city of Theodora

OLD QUAD ISOMETRIC

Isometric view of Old Quad dashed line roof, coloured all the section though columns and slab and its also without any annotations in 1:50 scale from the South-East.

OLD QUAD ISOMETRIC WITH NOTATIONS

Isometric Old Quad with its story telling objects notations which refers to the storey of Theodora

QUAD PERSPECTIVE 1 + 2 The first perspective view is on eye level which slightly upwards to the back corner of the Old Quad, and it gives an opportunity to introduce a number of characters regarding to story that it’s selected. In a way of having column in places gives a hierarchy of this perspective and partially hide characters and allow them to glance at each other. The proportion of this view is clearly demonstrating that the selected characters smoothly would be placed around the columns which allows to give an overall idea of where things are placed. By creating the depth in the view by depicting.

The second perspective view is also selected to demonstrate all the characters of the scene in a clear way, while there is sufficient space to portray the background. However, it clearly gives a wide space towards to back which allows a depth and balance into the scene.

PERSPECTIVE SCENE 1 + 2

The first perspective clearly demonstrates the Old Quad model’s internal structure with columns and other architectural elements on an eye level angled shot. However, it’s based on the storey which was telling about the battle between animals vs people whereby last species left to fight man’s possession of the city of Theodora; the rats.

Thus, this view explains the scene in

the second perspective is partly second part of the storey such as telling after death of the animals. The city became cemetery of the animal kingdom after the battle.

Question 1: What is the difference between autographic and allographic practice?

The difference between autographic and allographic practice is that the style of autographic tends to be used in the more artistic form such as painting and sculpting and requires the direct involvement of the author to provide authenticity to the final masterpiece.

Allographic practice gives opportunity for separation between these artistic styles comes from the author and final masterpiece. Nevertheless, the allographic style gets its authenticity through the ability to reproduce the works without the direct influence of the author such as plays, music and poem etc.

Question 2: Why do architects need new representational techniques?

Generally, the architects do need new representational technique styles according to technology changes, developing ideas based on futuristic design, needs of life changes, and more complex structures as its life get more complex. In this case, new techniques allows more flexibility and artistic appearance in terms of design and construction of the buildings that utilize these advances. Most of the time, architects need to educate themselves and explore new techniques and ideas to make the buildings more attractive.

APPENDIX

The plan of the Old Quad begin with 2D plan, section into rhino to generate 3D model. After the model is technically built, started applying perspective views on digital model based on the scene that its selected.

TOP VIEW OF ISOMETRIC WITH ANNOTATION

just a quick top view of isometric with annotation are shown with symbols, also just wanted to demonstare idea of chaos with the symbols which was not added into to final module.

10

TEXTURE ANALYSIS All textures are selected based on the theme of the storey which were directly applied to the perspectives.

11

CHARACTERS AND OBJECTS ANALYSIS

All objects and animals are selected based on the storey of its selected from the storey of Theodora.

FINAL DRAWINGS HIDDEN CITIES 4: THEODORA

perspective 1

perspective 2

The scene can be separated into two parts; first half of the storey refer to presentation one is that describe over the battle between animals and people in the city of Theodora. Accordingly, the characters are constantly moving around the scene. As image refer to isometric with a centralized people to repre-sent the final victory of people. In some sort of way the perspective describes the ongoing battle and action regards to these elements and other characters. Their movement lines up exactly with the passage where it’s kind of cyclized near the center. Therefore, the first half of the storey flows with the final victory which to go the last species left to fight man’s possession of the city; the rats.

Secondly, the emotion of this part of the section depicts more about after life which symbolizes the life in a cyclic way. After all that deaths, there is still life in terms of new hopes which comes from the hidden places such as Theodora.

Finally, both perspectives demonstrates the same storey as the scenes graphically in a black and white color despite red which symbolizes the chaos over demise of death.

The two final presentation with added key characters into these perspectives according to selected scene.
