520 _a"This study examines the influence of perspective on architecture, highlighting how critical changes in the representation and perception of space in history continue to inform the way architects design. Three critical processes in the development of perspective thought are identified - the conversion of reality into knowledge, the structuring of an internally coherent order and the need to construct a substitute reality.This threefold development is examined at two levels. Temple first considers the historical, cultural and philosophical contexts of perspective, and the impact that changing world views through history had on architecture. The second level consists of a series of case studies of particular buildings that highlight an aspect of a contemporary idea of perspective.As a whole, this volume brings to light the hermeneutical nature of architecture, and finds in its history fresh paths of investigation that can inform and shape our interpretations of architectural design today."--Publisher description.
