RELATIONSHIPS

Plans, Elevations, and
Perspective


Man-made forms are often conceived as plans and elevations. Viewing the form from above establishes its plan. Viewing it from the front and sides establishes its elevations. Plan and elevation studies are the basic ways of visualizing a man-made form.

The form is then studied from different viewpoints, or perspectives. It must be noted that most planes are distorted when seen in perspective.
