Formal Method 3

It's quite interesting how drawing and movies can make people think of everything. I agree that some drawings do show more things than other, however, it depends on the person drawing them and how skillful the execution is. Bois' article about axonometry makes a good case for the use of that type of drawing, going so far as to explain why it was big in suprematist circles. But I think that it really depends on what you are trying to convey. For suprematist, since they were really worried about simplicity, axonometry is perfect. It shows what it needs to show and that is pretty much it. I feel that sometimes they were rather successful, in our architectural projects, especially when the building contained some simple and clean elements. But they also failed miserably at showing various concepts of a design, especially if the building has a rather complex design. They tend to crowd up the place and look very bland. I understand that suprematist took things out of the norm and did things that they considered to be a more genuine form of art. I can relate axons to the modern movement as well as I can relate perspective drawings to classical teachings of art. It's very interesting to see how people developed these ideas and how they stuck to them during the developmental process. Should we be drawing inspiration from these ideas? Sure, why not see what everyone was doing in the past and obtain ideas for the future.
