WEEK 9 READING: PERSPECTIVE AS SYMBOLIC FORM

Question 1: What are Durer’s rules for perspectival projection? (Maximum 100 words) There are three Durer’s rules for perspectival projection. The first one is that all the perpendiculars are intersact at the central vanishing point. The second rule is that all paralleles no matter from which direction have a vanishing point commonly. The third rule is that the equivalent would reduce as the object goes further away in the space.

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

Homogenous space is a kind of mathematical space which every point in it are drew similarly in all directions and magnitudes. Any shape could be created in any sort of desire form in the homogenous space, however, there are limits due to the rules and restrictions of reality.

WEEK 10 READING: MAPPING THE UNMAPPABLE ON NOTATION

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

The difference between autographic and allographic practice is that the aspect of authenticity. The autographic practice are based on the contact its creator directly, which means the designers have a really important role in the process. However, the allographic practice could be developed with the help of notations rather than depending on the creator.

Question 2: Why do architects need new representational techniques?

New representational techniques are needed because that the architects need to address the social context as well as the time into their creation in order to make sure the ralevance. The creation beyong the shape and image need more effective tools and techniques to support.

Key Movement Looking Space

In my isometric drawings, the notations tell the same story as the scenes which is illustrated in my perspectives graphically. The camera position shows the view point of two scenes. There are two parts of my isometric. The left 1/3 shows the disaster that the city has been experienced. The three dash lines show the transition of space, time and light. The time passes from left to right. Futhermore, the sunight shines from the right hand side.

There are also annotations shows the people and crowds. The small arrows reflects the route that the tourist visit.
