Form, Space & Perspective Images

Form, Space & Perspective Images examines the relationship between spatial reality, geometrical modelling and the perspective images or views through which spatial Form becomes visible or represented.

A central distinction is made between Physical Form, Modelled Form and Apparent Form, together with the different Object, Image and Perspective Spaces in which these relationships operate.
