Handbook of Research on Visual Computing and Emerging Geometrical Design Tools

Or “point at infinity”, in a perspective composition is where parallel lines seem to converge; it lies on the horizon line. Published in Chapter: Interpretative Reading of an Illusory Painted Wall: A Survey and Analysis of a Work from Antonio Galli Bibiena in Bologna Francesca Porfiri (Sapienza - Università di Roma, Italy)Source Title: Handbook of Research on Visual Computing and Emerging Geometrical Design ToolsCopyright: © 2016 |Pages: 17 DOI: 10.4018/978-1-5225-0029-2.ch017 Abstract This study concerns architectural representation, and it focuses on the Quadratura issue: an illusory architecture painting where perspective creates the illusion of spatial depth on a flat surface. The main subject of this work is the study of the perspective scenes frescoed in the yards of historical building, during the 18th century in northern Italy, especially in Bologna; they represent architectural scenes, placed at the end of a promenade through the building. One of the most interesting example of these perspective frescoes in Bologna has been designed in 1761 by Antonio Galli Bibiena in Palazzo Vizzani's yard. This study aimed to approach a digital 3D-reconstruction of the scene, based on an accurate documentation and a combination of architectural survey techniques. Finally the digital reconstructed scene can be video-projected on the wall: it can simulate a viewer's eye guided across the building towards and inside the scene.

The Dynamic Eye: Anamorphosis and Beholder between XVI and XVII Centuries

From the perspectival point of view, the vanishing point is the point towards which the parallel lines seem to converge. In particular, the vanishing point of a straight line r is a point F on the projection plane, common to the perspective images of each straight line parallel to the one considered. In other words, the vanishing point of a straight line is the projection of its improper point (or the point at infinity, or direction).
