| perspective Perspectives are the most realistic representational drawings. They are a popular method of illustrating a three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional plane. A perspective, like a paraline drawing, is a single-view drawing: however, the perspective drawing can eliminate the optical distortion caused by lines drawn parallel. The perspective is a more realistic view since it represents the reality of form in three dimensions, as we see it with our eyes. Architects and interior designers frequently use perspectives both as design exploration sketches and as design presentation tools. Quick freehand sketches can help to anticipate the essence or character of a space, that is, its form, scale, light, patterns, and textural qualities. For a presentation, perspectives are more precisely constructed and carefully rendered to depict the structure and its environment as realistically as possible. A perspective is carefully composed and often includes people, vegetation, furniture, textures, and accessories for animation. It is important to make the image believable and representative of the way a space will actually appear. Architectural and interior designers utilize three basic types of perspectives-one -point, two-point, and three-point. The difference depends on the observer's point of view and the orientation of the object or space being seen. |
