Linear Representation. Contemporary Use
“Linear representation” has been used, in the past of western history
and near east, with celebrative functions and a mode of representation where a
perception of depth is used linked to the overlapping of elements present in the
scene and a consequent visualization in side elevation. A rediscovery of “linear
representation” occurs in contemporary age, where it assumes a technical use in
temporary and permanent environmental solutions or in new media, defining a
new research field for representation applied to architecture, graphics and
design, better known as “environmental graphics”. In this context, a particular
development takes place on some ephemeral structures such as yard fences, with
horizontal development, or in facades of buildings.
