WEEK 9 READING: PERSPECTIVE AS SYMBOL FORM
Question 1: What are Durer’s rules for perspectival projection? (Maximum 100 words) According to Durer, the first rule of the pserspective projection is that all perpemdiculars meet at the central vanishing point, where the perpendicuar drawn from the eye to the picture plane. Besides, parallels in all direction share a common vanishing point. The vanishing point lines on the horizontal one if these parallels are in a horizontal plane. Apart from this, if the lines form a 45-degree angle with the plane, the distance between the vanishing point and the central vanishing point is equal to the distance between the eye and the picture plane.
Question 2: Describe homogenous space? (Maximum 100 words)
Homogenous space, different from the metric space of Euclidean geometry, is space produced by construction. It is a purely mathematic concept that confined within certain limits. It is able to draw a simialr dimentsion in all direction and magnitudes from every point in spcae

PERSPECTIVE SCENE 1 + 2 The main focus in this scecne is the dressed laies who are having conversation in the middle of the scene. There is a shop and a hung tram behined them, which show the chharacteristic of the city. Luxious marble texture is being used to built the quad in this uncertain city due to the hedonism attitude citizens have. They prefer to enjoy their life. The lday standing on the railing, which is dangerous, also shows their life attitude.
The mountain outside the quad describe the surrounding environment of the city of Octavia. The space under the railway is the place the mother and her daughter live. They live their life by begging rather than working hard. All they have is a hammock, a few pieces of luggage and a swing.

WEEK 4 READING: MAPPING THE UNMAPABLE Complete your reading before attempting these questions:
Question 1: IWhat is the difference between autographic and allographic practice? (Maximum 100 words) Autographic refers to those valuable art works, created by artists which are not able to be reproduced while keep the authenticity of the work. Allographic practice is the work values in notations created by artists. As the result, these kind of art works can be reprosuced.
Question 2: Why do architects need new representational techniques? (Maximum 100 words) Traditional representation techniques fail to express the architectural thought, which is a combination of autographic and allographic.
