Architectural Representation and the Perspective Hinge
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Mit Pr
- Publish date: 11/01/1997
The book examines textual evidence across a broad historical period, concentrating on the relationship between drawing and architectural space in the period from the seventh century to the twentieth century. The book discusses such issues as optical correction and the nature of architectural drawing in selected treatises, revealing the complexity and potential contradiction inherent in any linear history of representation. The authors' ultimate aim is to probe the possibilities of the constructed world -- that is, architecture -- as a poetic translation, rather than prosaic transcription, of its representations.
