Document Summary
In architecture, representation means an architect"s image (an image that stands for architecture and is a close representation of a building or a city) Models (building a model and then taking an image of it) Some architects produce images that look nothing like its physical being. Abstract representation of architecture doesn"t refer to any spatial arrangement in architecture. Images used to design buildings in advance of construction can be used to . Drawing and architecture are historically bound to each other such that without architectural representation there would be not true. Before the renaissance (early modern period), there were no drawings in the sense that we understand them today. During this time, greek temple were constructed with extraordinary precision. You always find a space enclosed by walls of vertical columns. Round cylindrical elements were constructed offsite, brought separately and. In the form of a post and lintel construction stacked on top of each other to create the columns.
