Question 1: What are Durer’s rules for perspectival projection? (Maximum 100 words) According to Durer, perspectival projection is defined as not looking at an object in oscillation but rather looking at how an entire image is transformed. From this we form a “window” and through this window is the opening for the perspective in which we view space.
Question 2: Describe homogenous space? (Maximum 100 words)
Homogenous space - which is seen as a mathematical approach to perspective in space - essentially describes a manifestation of point and lines which lye upon an axial plane, with a determined positioning that does not contain random independence. Each point and line has a direct relationship with each other and as such, has a fundamental reason and function.

QUAD PERSPECTIVE 1 + 2 From this perspective we can note the symmetry of this landscape and thus masks the truth of Cecilia and what lies within its future. Essentially this view is just a facade to hide the truth.
This angle provides the view point from which Marco Polo discovers the other side of Cecilia and how only from a skewed angle is the shocking truth of the city revealed

PERSPECTIVE SCENE 1 + 2
Within this scene we see when the young encounter the old and have great optimism for this luscious city: hence, the streets paved in marble and towers of polished steel. However there are hints of what lies ahead.
Here we note the degradation of what Cecelia has become, as the orientation shifts we see the overgrown vines and moss growing up the walls, emblematic of the lack of care within the city.

WEEK 4 READING: TITLE OF READING Complete your reading before attempting these questions:
Question 1: What is the difference between autographic and allographic practice? (Maximum 100 words) Autographic practice describe the way in which an object, for instance, a building, sculpture or any piece of art is translates its meaning and purpose in a relatively literal way. Essentially, relying on its own uniqueness to convey its message. Where as Allographic practice describes how in mediums such as music and poetry its uniqueness is based on a separate set of values, one of which can be reproduced in a number of ways but how it manifests itself is up to interpretation (ie notation)
Question 2: Why do architects need new representational techniques? (Maximum 100 words) In architecture, methods of representational techniques are constantly changing, this is quite necessary as it not only allows room for new ideas but it is fundamental within the nature of what architecture represents. As Stan Allen describes “architecture ... is not concerned with imitating reality� and thus we can understand that it is not simply bound to the conventions of consistency and regularity in its techniques. Architecture, whilst focusing heavily and geometry, is still essentially an art form and as such has the ability to be forever changing in its representational techniques.
