WEEK 3 READING: LEGER，LE CORBUSIER, AND PURISM

Question 1: What is Pictorial Space according to Le Corbusier?

According to Le Corbusier, the Pictorial Space is a space which cannot be entered or ciculated through. It is viewed from a distance, and is therefore eternally resigned to frontality, which indicating that the pictorial space is absolute flat. However, it could be understood as distorted perspective which shown an illusion of space.

Question 2: The Flatness of Le Corbusier’s painting’s are attributable to two properties. What are they? And what are these pitted against?

Firstly, Le Corbuiser added white lead and depth to make sure the paintings is flat. Secondly, the depth of texture supports the legibility of objects.

WEEK 4 READING: AXONOMETRIC PROJECTION

Question 1: Explain the difference between Pictoral (in this case perspectival) space and Projection?

Perpctival space is restrained with one point of view and all the objects in that is finite. However, the projection can provide more flexibility from an instrumental view and indicate more abstract information by extendind the vanishing points.

Question 2: Where did Axonometric projection first arise, and why?

The axonometric projection originated in 19th century which is a period of machanization and industralization. This arise are highly likely to be derived from first parallel projections. After that, some engineering schools used anxonometric drawings for education.

ILLUSTRATED MARIO’S NEW WORLD

This is a Hanging Garden of Mario. Every mounment is floating but connected by roads below. The water channel is designed to integrate the two world. The golden fragments is a new way to interpret the projection of an elevation view.
