THE USE OF AXONOMETRIC AND PERSPECTIVE PROJECTIONS FOR THE REPRESENTATION OF STAIRS IN ARCHITECTURAL CONSTRUCTIONS

Abstract

The functional and aesthetic composition of the technical concepts requires the use of specific methods of representation of geometric shapes through perspective images and axonometric representations. Applying these methods, the paper presents several exercises for representing some stairs within architectural constructions, as support in the acquisition of the geometric reasoning based on the symmetries of rotation and translation of the shapes that make up these volumes. The geometric and constructive examples analyzed in the paper help to form and develop the ability to see in space, this study being of particular theoretical and practical importance for design practitioners.
