A Study on the Visual Effects Comparison of Plan-Oblique Drawing in Architecture |
| Abstract |
Pictorial drawing has two kinds of drawing. One is the axonometric drawing and the other is the oblique one. The oblique drawing is further classified into two types: The plan-oblique is one and the elevation-oblique the other.This study searches for the most adequate method among nine different plan-oblique drawings in the architectural graphics that best meets the criteria set on a visual measure. Nine pictorial drawings were prepared for experiment using three variables in combination. The variables are: (1) the orientation of the plan,(2) the direction of the receding lines and (3) the scale ratio between the receding lines and the plan view.Visual responses were taken from a sample of 52 graduate and undergraduate students with architecture major and they were investigated in three respects, which are:(1) the proportion of the drawings,(2 )the quality of description of a certain feature of the buliding exterior and (3) a sense of reality of the shape of the buliding. The respondents were shown nine plan-oblique drawings of a buliding and they were asked to select drawing for each that looked more adequate to them in three respects.This study found that the drawing with "45-90-1:1 (the three variables of plan-oblique drawing)" was chosen as the best. The second best was the drawing with "30-90-1:3/4" and the drawing with "60-90-1:3/4" was the third best. |
