Abstract:
This paper is driven by two concerns. On one hand, to understand how projective (and perspective) devices in architectural drawing can influence our physical perception of the world and its scale; and, on the other hand, to consider the architectural survey as a moment of knowledge. While these two concerns may seem to have little in common, they both question the persistence of projections in the architectural object and their ability to disrupt our perception. Through studying the functioning of a singular accelerated perspective (forced perspective), this paper intends to understand why this particular type of projective device (architectural trompe l’oeil) is reappearing in a particular kind of contemporary architectural production.
