Question 1: What is Pictorial Space according to Le Corbusier? (Maximum 100 words) According to le Corbusier, pictorial space refers to “that which cannot be entered or circulated through”. It means it is an irremediable space that cannot be circulated through. It is sort for illusion, gives off perception of conceptual distance as well as the depth. Therefore, Le Corbusier believe that pictorial space can only be interpreted and understood.
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 two properties that attribute the flat element of Le Corbusier’s painting are the used of colors and textures, and continuity of edge. Firstly, the combination of color and texture that Le Corbusier used are focusing on highlight the appearance, especially the distance and the depth of the object to make it real, which also known as the pore-extension that painting without black. Besides this, the clean edges is the another property, which also helps to create the distinctive graphic.

Question 1: Explain the difference between Pictoral (in this case perspectival) space and Projection? (Maximum 100 words) The Pictoral space, which means perspectival drawing in this case is quite more limited than the projection. It links up the Therefore, it can produce a distorted view of the object, but insufficient to include all the perspectives and the depth. The projection is more objective, it enables the viewers understand the entirely of the space and the object.
Question 2: Where did Axonometric projection first arise, and why? (Maximum 100 words) Allen mentions that axonometric projection was first used in military context to plan the tree dimensional to predicting the projectile trajectories, then developed to engineering and architecture work in the 18th century and the 19th century. Axonometric projection was recognized as very useful things in the architecture context. It improves the accuracy through the measurement of architecting.

ILLUSTRATED MARIO’S NEW WORLD
The drawing of world tokes me about 5 days, because every shape should be in the accurate size as the image. It also trial my imagination as well as Spatial Visualization. The images given have 2 level in a bright brackground with geometric shape. Terefore I try bto create a urbanized Mario’s world.

APPENDIX
Here are the equipment I used, which are rulers, T-square reler , liner and pencil.
the start of drawing.

This is the first axonmatric drawing I finished. However I made the mistake that the angle I drew was in 135 degree but not the 90 degree.
APPENDIX
Place a graph pad under the tracing pad is useful for draw the accurate axonmatric drawing.
I finished the two levels of Mario’s world saperately.
