Question 1: What are Durer’s rules for perspectival projection? (Maximum 100 words) 1. One of the Durer’s rules for perspectival projection is that all perpendiculars of “orthogonals” meet at the central vanishing point, which is determined by the perpendicular drawn from the eye to the picture plane.

2. The second one of Durer’s rules is , all parallels in any direction have a common vanishing point.

3. The last rule is that , equal dimensions diminish progressively as they recede in space, so any portion of the picture is calculatable from the folling portion.

Question 2: Describe homogenous space? (Maximum 100 words)

Homogeneous space is that all its elements, the ‘points’ which are joined in it, to determine their position, possessing no independent content of their own outside of this relation, this position which they occupy in relation to each other. So, overall, homogenous space is never given space, but space produced by construction.

QUAD PERSPECTIVE 1 + 2

Perspective1 The reason choose this perspective is , this is the view that can include both scenery on the ground and the ceiling, in the direction which is more wide, also more suitbale to create characters and objects.

Perspective2 This perspective includes the view from fornt to back, a scene can cover objects in different heights.

Since the story of the city Zora includes many objects that are in different height, so to create a scene whihc is more suitablle for showing differnt heights, this perspective can suits.

PERSPECTIVE SCENE 1 + 2 Perspective1 This perspective creates a scene in front the harbor in the city. Some people are walking towards to the harbour. Some people are waiting for their family to get off the boats.Also includes a sailor is doing kiss goodbye to his lover. Using fences, horse, gharry, barber to create a scene , whihc looks more like the view in fornt of a harbour. Since Zora is the city has a harbour, so I use a picture of sea surfac, and put it as the bottom layer, to make it looks more realistic down the bac. Also, because Zora is constructed above mountains, so to create a scene which looks more likely on the montain height, I used clouds images,alternate among the obejects, to create a foggy atmosphere, especially the clouds clouse to the sea at the back, for a misty view.

Perspective2 Persective 2 creats a scene which ful of academic atmosphere. To ďŹ t the astronomer glass tower that mentioned in the story, I want to create a scene that includes some scientists, learners. Althoughm Zora is a city that may not be so special compare to others because of the ordinary houses and streets, however, the academic atmosphere makes it unique, which could be memoried by learned people. Except experts and scientist are in this scene, even a little boy doing his own little research , by looking down from the high location where Zor locates, to the scene below Zora.

To ďŹ t the scene which is on the height, clouds are also used in this perspective.Some residential houses are also added behind the columns, telling viewers, the academic atmosphere exists in a ordinary city.

WEEK 4 READING: TITLE OF READING Complete your reading before attempting these questions:

Question 1: IWhat is the difference between autographic and allographic practice? (Maximum 100 words) Autographic is a form of art , that the authenticity depends on the direct contact of the author, for examle: paintings and sculptures.

So, allographic is a form of art in which the work exist in many copies and can be produced without direct intervention of the author.

Question 2: Why do architects need new representational techniques? (Maximum 100 words) Architects need new representational techniques because there is a need to map an unmappable territory, that is the new urban phenomena, “edge cities” or “generic cities”.

These new urban phenomena can caused by technological and social changes. So, in order to sustain its relevance, architecture needs to address the social and political implications of the shift from artifact to effect.

APPENDIX EXAMPLES OF CHARACTERS &OBJECTS IN FIELD

CHARACTER EXAMPLES

Creating all these character by using Photoshop ďŹ rst to make them black and white withtransparent background, them open in illustrator usesilluate tool, then import into Rhino for after steps

OBJECTS EXAMPLES

TEXTURE EXAMPLES

Texture for ceilings in perspectives

Texture for floors in perspectives, using TRIM to find thesuitable position and direction of this texture, to fit the fihgure of the ground

Creating all these objects by using the same methds as creating character. But while using eraser tool in photoshop, I found out type ‘xx transparent’ when looking for objects is more convenient and save time for next step in Illustrator 11
