Question 1: What are Durer’s rules for perspectival projection? (Maximum 100 words) ‘Perspective projection‘ means ‘seeing through‘. A fully perspective of space are not when mere isolated objects presented in ‘foreshotening‘, but when the entire picture has been transformed to ‘a window‘ like we’re ‘looking through window to space’. Individual figures or objects are reinterpreted as a mere’picture plan’ which could be seen through.
Question 2: Describe homogenous space? (Maximum 100 words)
Homogenous space is a ‘central perspextive‘ makes two important assumtions, one is we see with a single and immobile eye, second is that the planer cross section of the visual pyramid can pass for an adequate reproduction of our optical image. It is a both constructive and mathematical space where the objects are linked together only by showing the location.

INVISIBLE CITY:
Baucis After a seven days’ march through woodland, the traveler directed toward Baucis cannot see the city and yet he has arrived. The slender stilts that rise from the ground at a great distance from one another and are lost above the clouds support the city. You climb them with ladders. On the ground the inhabitants rarely show themselves: having already everything they need up there, they prefer not to come
Marcro has never been to the city before, so we could see the story in any aspect. I decide to create Macro’s dreamworld.
down. Nothing of the city touches the earth except those long flamingo legs on which it rests and, when the days are sunny, a pierced, angular shadow that falls on the foliage. There are three hypotheses about the inhabitants of Baucis: that they hate the earth; that they respect it so much they avoid all contact; that they love it as it was before they existed and with spyglasses and telescopes aimed downward they never tire of examining it, leaf by leaf, stone by stone, ant by ant, contemplating with fascination their own absence.

PERSPECTIVE SCENE 1 + 2
I chose stained glass as my texture, because I expecting the scene that light coming through the colourful glass. Telescope and small trees are chosed as a sign of citizen’s love to earth, that they love natrual, and would like to expert it.
The sculpture called the mother of the earth is used as a goddess the citizens believe in, also flowers shows their love to earth. The airship on the backgroud matches the idea of ‘sky city‘ at the same time.

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) According to Nrlson Goodman, autographic are painting or sculpture which depend for their authenticity upon the direct contact of author, while allograohic is where work exists in many copies and can be produced without the direct intervention of the author.
Question 2: Why do architects need new representational techniques? (Maximum 100 words) Because tranditional architecture drawing carries a mimetic trace, a representational shadow, which is transposed. Drawing like pictures can’t acount instrumentality of architectural representation or its capacity to render abstract ideas. Many aspects of the experience of architecture can never be effectively simulated or predicted by representaional drawing. As a result, new representational techniques are needed.

FINAL DRAWINGS Cities & the sky 3: thekla
Hint: How Detailed does the drawing need to be? Consider the ‘readability’ of the notations within the isometric projection and how the notations tell the same story as the scenes graphically illustrated in your perspectives. Key Movemwnt glance Time light mood heavy mood Crowd Dream 0
