WEEK 3 READING: LEGER, LE CORBUSIER, AND PURISM

Question 1: What is Pictorial Space according to Le Corbusier? (Maximum 100 words) According to Le Corbusier, pictoral space is something that could not be entered or circulated through, it is irremediably space viewed from a distance, and is therefore eternally resigned to frontality.Moving on, Le Corbusier mentioned again that the paintings and draqwings from the mid and late ‘20s display the terms of Le Corbusier’s pictorial frontality, where there are three-fold, the object, the constellation of objects and color and texture. The color and texture causes the distance or depth in the painting to be no longer a matter of representing the space seperating one object and another in the real world.

Question 2: The Flatness of Le Corbusier’s painting’s are attributable to two properties. What are they?

And what are these pitted against?(Maximum 100 words) The flatness of Le Corbusier’s paiting was depicted through the distance and the frontality that came from the way the image was painted. The crisply contoured shape which never breaks rank with the picture’s frontality will suggest that a turning of one of its facets will becomes depth. The constellation of objects was forced together in the insisten continuity of edges. Colour and texture are created to trivialise its presence, and will make a noticable lack of seperation in the picture. The properties are pitted against its rotation and the aspect of a new and deeper understanding that create movement around the painting.

WEEK 4 READING: AXONOMETRIC PROJECTION: NEW GEOMETRIES AND OLD ORIGINS FROM PRACTICE: ARCHITECTURE, TECHNIQUE AND REPRESENTATION Question 1: Explain the difference between Pictoral (in this case perspectival) space and Projection?

(Maximum 100 words) Perspectival space is a representation by space that have a fixed point of view. It is subjective and very dependant to the viewer’s understanding. It is limited to recording existing structures, space and pictoral representation. However, on the other hand, projection has the capability to depict informations, with relevant measurement and consistent precision. These two differ in terms of their point of view. In projections, the projectors will not converge, but rather run parallel to one other ending at a vanishing point.

Question 2: Where did Axonometric projection first arise, and why? (Maximum 100 words) The reading says that the earliest use of the axonometic projection was described as in a military context, where it was originally used by them to chart the three dimensional trajectories of artillery projectiles. Axonometric drawing was taught in engineering schools and its development was closely related to mechanization and industralization. Axonometric projections was also used in architecture extended in scientific and mathematical basis for architectural representation already initiated with the widespread teaching and use of descriptive geometry. Axonometric was considered to combine the immediacy of a perspectival view with the measurability and transmissibility of orthographic projection.
