Study Notes

The text discusses different systems of representation for translating three-dimensional objects or spaces onto a two-dimensional surface
Three elements involved in representation systems: the object or space, the plane of projection, and the rays of projection
Two main types of projection: cylindrical and conic
Cylindrical projection:
- All rays are parallel to each other
- Can be orthogonal or oblique, depending on the angle between the rays and the plane of projection
- Result in systems like hydric, orthographic, axonometric, or oblique projections
Importance of two or more projections for accurately representing three-dimensional information
Hydric projection:
- Employs the cylindrical orthogonal projection
- Uses at least two perpendicular planes of projection
- Object is represented in multiple views: front, side, and top
- Easier to draw than perspective but may not accurately represent the object's three-dimensionality
Orthonographic or orthographic projection is a type of hydric projection
- Uses two perpendicular planes of projection, vertical and horizontal
- Object's directions (height, width, and depth) are parallel to the planes of projection
- Results in accurate, scaled representations of objects, but lacks depth perception
Axonometric projection:
- Similar to hydric projection but uses a single plane of projection
- Primarily used for topographic maps or contour lines
- Makes it easier to represent three-dimensional terrain on a two-dimensional surface but requires additional information (altitude or level curves) to complete the representation
Axonometric projection comes in two subtypes:
- Isometric projection: all three directions have the same angle of inclination with respect to the plane of projection, resulting in equal distortion for all sides
- Oblique axonometric projection: the three directions have different angles of inclination with respect to the plane of projection, causing varying distortion for different sides
A system of representation needs at least two projections to accurately translate three-dimensional information to a two-dimensional surface.- Perspective results in visually harmonious images based on the object's placement and the angle of incidence of rays
Two commonly used perspectives in practice: Perspective caballera and Perspective militar
Perspective caballera: Object's face is parallel to the picture plane, creating a horse-like perspective
Perspective militar: Object's plant is parallel to the picture plane, creating a military-style perspective
System of representation requires secondary projections for accuracy
Perspective systems offer easier visualization of objects and spaces
Perspective preserves parallel lines in an object or space
Perspective is based on perspective projection, which captures the light rays from the object
Perspective conica projects the object onto a conical plane, creating a more realistic representation
Perspective conica can be frontal or oblique, with one or more vanishing points
Perspective systems include additional projections to fully capture three-dimensional information
Perspective conica is more difficult to draw by hand compared to other systems
Perspective systems are used throughout design processes to create realistic representations.
