Question 1: What are Durer’s rules for perspectival projection? (Maximum 100 words) Durers first rule is that all perpendicular or orthogonal meet at the so called central vanishing point, which is determined by the perpendicular drawn from the eye to the picture plane. His second rule is that all parallels, in whatever direction they lie, have a common vanishing point. If they lie on a horizontal plane, then their vanishing point lies always on the so called horizon, that is, on the horizontal lines through the central vanishing point. If, moreover, they happen to form a 45 degree angle with the picture plane, then the distance between teir vanishing point and the central vanishing point is equal to the distance between the eye and the picture plane. Finally, equal dimensions diminish progressively as they recorded in space, so that any portion of the picture is calculable from the preceding or following portion.
Question 2: Describe homogenous space? (Maximum 100 words)
The homogeneous space is decribed as a central perspective making two tacit but essential assumptions: first, that we see with a single and immobile eye, and second that the planar cross section of the visual pyramid can pass for an adequate reproduction of our optical image. In fact these two premises are rather bold abstractions from reality, if by reality we mean the actual subjective optional impression. For the structure of an infinite, unchanging and homogeneous space, in short a purely mathematical space isquite unlike the structure of the psychophysiological space.

QUAD PERSPECTIVE 1 + 2
This angle suits the first perspective as it is from a good height and hows off a lot of the scene whilst completely hiding the other perspectives characters
This view is more open and it suits the second perspective. It provide me enough space to place the charactors which demonstrated the civilian and industrial life in this view.

PERSPECTIVE SCENE 1 + 2 This perspective shows the ‘rich reigion’ in the scene. A group of nobles are enjoying their aftnoon tea in the light middle part. The fancy carpet, curtain and crystal droplights all emphasised the luxury theme. At the back, Macro Polo is hidden in the shadow and tried to shoot the peacock. It provide a negtive sence and form a strong contrast with the front part.
This scene present the ‘ poor reigion’ in the story. In the front, a drunck man was crushed to a fence by a car. The scene is focusing on the civilian’s life and their industral life. People work hard for survive. This pespective create a ironic contract on standard of live with the first pespective.

Question 1: IWhat is the difference between autographic and allographic practice? (Maximum 100 words) Autographic is the artworks, like paintings and sculptures, that depend for their authenticity upon the direct contact of the author. This is different in music, poetry or theatre as they canbe produced without the direct intervention of the author. Allography are different, it is the art that are capable of being reproduced at adistance from the author by means of notation. It operates through interpretation and on the basis of convention. The use of notation is a defining aspect of allographic arts.
Question 2: Why do architects need new representational techniques? (Maximum 100 words) Architecture is constantly evolving and as a result so must the architect. Technologies increase and with it new ways of representing the world arises, in order to confront this architects must adapt. If architecture is to work beyong the level of image, it need to invent new tools to work more effectively within the immaterial networks and systems that comprise the city in the late twentieth century. In order to sustain its own relevance, architecture needs to adress the social and political implications of the shifts from artefacts effort.
