Reading notes on Architectural Representation and the Perspective Hinge
The article is highly theoretical.The author discusses the meaning of architectural drawing. The method of using 2D drawings like plan, elevation and section, as well as making models. Many great artists and builders are also mentioned to reveal the meaning of their theory such as Euclid and Plato.The period of Renaissance is more focused on to highlight the point of space of architecture and its representation. Architecture, as partly a virtual art, at the same time, being delivered to become a real built object later on, is intriguing because the relationship between drawings, projections and physical objects is blurring the bounds of visual effects and corporal perception.

I'm wondering...is the architecture just a good subject for a painting or is the 3d experience also considered its own medium of art?
ReplyDeleteThe article also seems to focus on the architect(ure) of the Renaissance. A time in which perspective, a stagnant perception was valued. Todays culture is defined by rapid movement, in almost all circumstances and subjects; from Chaos Theory and data management to television and movies which depict movement within a frame. As architecture (once built, not drawn) presents itself as an art without a frame, how does that change the value and interpretation of the medium?
