Question 1: What are Durer’s rules for perspectival projection? (Maximum 100 words)
The first rule is that all perpebdiculars meet at the so-called central vanishing point and all parallels have a common vanishing point. Perspectival construction ignores the crucial circumstance and it is a projection on a concave surface. The second rule is that all parallels have a common vanishing point. The third rule is that equal dimentions diminish progreessively as they reached inspace.
Question 2: Describe homogenous space? (Maximum 100 words)
Homogenous space is infinite and rational spce contructed by imaginations. All the elements in homogenous space are mere determinations of position, processing no independent content of their own outside of this relation.

INVISIBLE CITY: Perinthia Perinthia's astronomers are faced with a difficult choice. Either they must admit that all their calculations were wrong and their figures are unable to describe the heavens, or else they must reveal that the order of the gods is reflected exactly in the city of monsters. 145

PERSPECTIVE SCENE 1 + 2
Perspective 1 The perinthia city is constitued by monsters and ruled by the tweleve houses of the zodiac. The dryad and the dragon monster sometimes appear and sometimes disappear. They are the imaginations from citizens’fearness. The roof is decorated in star map, which illustrates the excessive belief to astronsntics.
Pespective 2 This view is the terrible reality of the Perinthia city. Citizens are sufferring hunger and drought. They are arguing and fighting with the governors of this city for their rights. However, governers only could stop their bahaviours, since either they must admit that all their calculations were wrong and their figures could not describe the heavens, or else they must reveal that the order of the gods in reflected exactly in the city of monsters.

Question 1: IWhat is the difference between autographic and allographic practice? (Maximum 100 words) Allographic practice could be reproduced without the influence of author. The artist form includes plays, musics and poems. Lights, shadows and sun changes are shown in the allographic practice. Autographic practice is an traditional art form containing painting and scultpture, derived from the authors’ direct content.
Question 2: Why do architects need new representational techniques? (Maximum 100 words) Architects need new representational techniques to design the new world suits for the changes of the world. The use of autographic and allographic practice help architects to have new ideas to design a new architectural style of building.
