In constructing both these perspectives, you are to demonstrate the ability to express spatial idea in 3-D form, understanding of 2-D and 3-D relationships in architectural graphics, skills in drawing and composition, creativity and complexity of drawing. Also, your selection of space and exterior form is significant.

 

The last project in the series, this assignment introduces the method of constructing 1 and 2 point perspectives of the Farnsworth house. While we are already quite familiar with the concept of vanishing points, with these being evident since Project 1A and 1B, the technique of creating a perspective using guidelines, stationary points, vanishing points, horizon lines or groundlines or pictures planes is entirely new to us.

 

Thus, this assignment taught me a great skill, one that would be used again and again to present building designs in an even more intuitive manner. 

 

The drawings were first done on butter paper, then enlarged with a photocopier. The enlarged copies were then transferred unto an A1 tracing paper using technical pens.
