Rapid Prototyping for Dissemination of Perspective Treatises

This research is aimed at the analysis, communication and dissemination of projective principles at the basis of perspective through the construction of digital parametric models and physical models made with rapid prototyping techniques. The interest in perspective derives from its transversal nature, because it permeates the representation of reality in all its communication forms. The experimentation describes the perspective in its general form, namely solid form, and in the particular cases that correspond to the plane perspective and to the real space. It involves the realization of the physical models starting from the virtual models, with which the observer can interact, observing perspective from inside and outside, thus revealing the reasons of its illusory power.
