Aplicaciones de la perspectiva cúbica en la arquitectura, la ingeniería y el diseño de productos

Abstract

Cubical perspective is maybe the youngest alternative among the options for immersive drawing. Its theoretical definition, as every immersive perspective, has its pros and cons. Furthermore, its utility has not been fully explored, e.g. for early conceptual design. In fact, while its theory is on its way to being solved with different methods, there is still a doubtful judgement about the practice: is cubical perspective a way to think? A tool? Can we do something different with it, or are we just playing with technology? Let us try to give some answers to these questions by presenting some experiences held in university classrooms. We are presenting the experience of architecture, engineering and product design students that have applied cubical perspective to the creation of immersive panoramas subsequently assembled into a virtual tour. This article, more than closing a discussion, aims at opening the debate about the real applications and utility of cubical perspective and push for experimentation.
