Projecting Perspectives

Abstract:

Creating a drawing which communicates a vision, and feeling, of a particular design is an important objective for an architect and engineer. Perspective drawing is considered one of the most valuable tools for communicating a design vision. While many methods have developed over time, the sequential process of the conventional perspective remains the same; to first begin with a completed floor plan, and then orthographically project the parts from the plan into a view of a one-, two-, or three-point perspective drawing. The resulting perspective view graphically presents ‘‘what’’ a space or building feels like based on the parts from a plan. In contrast, this paper explores the possibility of reversing the sequence of the conventional perspective methods seeking instead the question of ‘‘why’’ a view has feeling by projecting a measurable floor plan directly from within a perspective view.
