WEEK 9 READING: PERSPECTIVE AS SYMBOLIC FORM
Question 1: What are Durer’s rules for perspectival projection? (Maximum 100 words) The Durer’s rules for perspectival projection includes three main ideas. First, all perpendiculars or “orthogonals” meet at the central vanishing point, which is determined by the perpendicular drawn from the eye to the picture plane. Second, all parallels have a common vanishing point no matter what direction they lie. Last, equal dimension diminish progressively as they recede in space, so that any portion of the picture is calculable from the preceding or following portion assuming that the location of the eye is known.
Question 2: Describe homogenous space? (Maximum 100 words)
Homogenous space is purely mathematical space. Homogenous space is never given a space, but space produced by construction, and indeed the geometrical concept of homogeneity can be expressed by the postulate that from every point in space it must be possible to draw similar figures in all directions and magnitudes.

INVISIBLE CITY: Isidora

OLD QUAD ISOMETRIC
The isometric view of the old quad. The stairs was inserted inside the old quad in order to match the story. In the story, the old man sitted in somewhere inside the city. Therefore, the stair was inserted in the old quad to let the old men sit on it.
4
OLD QUAD ISOMETRIC WITH NOTATIONS
The notations was inserted in the old quad in order to show the enviroment inside the old quad and the movement of the characters. The sun direction was also notated above in order to show the loction of light and dark area.

QUAD PERSPECTIVE 1 + 2 This light in this view suit the scene. This view got suifficient light. In this scene, The old man went to this city after travelling in the wild for long time. He feel desire of a city. He feel excited when he come to this city. Therefore, the view should have sufficient light to show the mood of the characters. Also, this view have a lot of area that can show the outside world. So, those area can used to show a properous city that got a lot of buildins.
This view got the stairs in the middle. In the scene, the old man sit in somewhere in the old quad. Therefore, the old man can sit on the stair. Also, this view does not got too much columns. So, the charaters would not blocked by the columns and the smokes can placed in the front of the characters.

PERSPECTIVE SCENE 1 + 2
The scene illustrated a man went to the city after travelling in wild region for long period. And he saw the foreigner was talking with two womens.Then, he saw a properous city that have a lot of buildings. Therefore, the background of this perspective scene contains a lot of buildings.
The second perpsective scene illustrated the last scene in the story. The old man was sitting on the stair and stared at the young man passed in front of him. Finally, the old man realized the young man in front of him was himself in his memory. Therefore , there are smokes around the young man. The smokes and the haning watch in this scene is used to show this scene is only the memory of the old man.

WEEK 10 READING: PRACTICE: ARCHITECTURE, TECHNIQUE AND REPRESENTATION
Question 1: What is the difference between autographic and allographic practice? (Maximum 100 words) The autographic practice is refer to those art that depend for their authenticity upon the direct contact of the author. While the allographic practice is refer to the work exists in many copies and can be produced without the direct intervention of the author. Allographic arts are capable of being reproduced at a distance from the author by means notation. Allographic arts do not imitate or reproduce something already existing, they produce new realities, imagined by means of notation.
Question 2: Why do architects need new representational techniques? (Maximum 100 words) Because the traditional representations presume stable objects and fixed subjects, but the contemporary city is not reducible to an artifact. The city today is a place where visible and invisible streams of information, capital and subjects interact in complex formations. In order to describe or to intervene in this new field architects need representational techniques that engage time and change, shifting scale, mobile points of view and multiple programs. In order to map this complexity, the new representational techniques is needed.
