Design Media and Exploration EVDS 541/ARST 451 Considering the Object: Description, Exploration, Transformation Topic/Assignment One: Plane and Parallel Projections Plane projections in architecture include plans, sections, and elevations. Each of these drawings are constructed by projecting points from the building directly to a picture plane parallel to the surface you are representing, whether that surface is vertical (section and elevation) or horizontal (plan). Plane projections are an abstract representation of the building that allow for scaled dimensioning of the building. andkasdfs Design Media and Exploration EVDS 541/ARST 451 26

Design Media and Exploration EVDS 541/ARST 451 Considering the Object: Description, Exploration, Transformation Topic/Assignment One: Plane and Parallel Projections Parallel projections in architecture include axonometric and isometric drawings. Axonometric drawings are constructed by projecting points from the building’s plan vertically based on their true vertical dimension. Parallel projections are an abstract representation of the building that allow for scaled dimensioning of the building. In an axonometric drawing, the plan can be rotated and positioned to best suit the view that is being explored. andkasdfs Design Media and Exploration EVDS 541/ARST 451 34
