1 From Perspective to Scenography

The relationship between space and image, architectural spatial design and its perception is the starting point of our research. Perspective had been developed in order to produce images of space according to our seeing [1]. The important historical step for drawing perspectives to represent according to our seeing had been done by Alberti. The further developed perspective machines, for example by Albrecht Dürer, helped to translate the concept of perspective in practical guiding tools for the production of the perspective images, therefore, as a tool in art. The mathematical concept of the perspective transformation as collineation later brought the possibility to apply the transformation to the spatial object, in order to receive a transformed spatial object. The perspectival transformed spaces or objects started in the sixteenth century with Sebastiano Serlio. For theatre stages, the question arose on how to spatialize the image and develop scenographic perspectives (Fig. 1). Serlio formulated the aim for a theatre stage, to develop “… a scene, where we see in a small room, done by the art of perspective, marvelous palaces, temples very broad, from far spacious places, adorned with various buildings, straight and long streets crossed by other routes….” [2, p. 48, translated by C.L.].
