About this ebook

Dr. Tomás García-Salgado's invention of Modular Perspective is a rare accomplishment –one that I have been privileged to review, study and analyze and assess for this book. The ingenious method that he has devised is a remarkable process for precision projection of perspective. 

Modular Perspective is a synthesis of many brilliant studies and research into perspective theory from across the centuries, beginning with the invention of accurate three-dimensional projection from the 14th century and early Renaissance, the methodical system of traditional perspective projection, from plan, elevation and section, drafted point by point, from station point to picture plane, from vanishing points into three-dimensionality is synthesized into Dr. Salgado's compact and rigourous system.

I was surprised to see such a deep dive into the concept of perspective. The book explains practical ways to create accurate sketches involving perspective, and also provides insights to help readers assess drawings of this nature. Additionally, it explains the use of a unique measuring instrument well worth learning about. As an artist, I enjoyed the book and recommend it for professionals such as architects or graphic designers, and also as a textbook for students in these fields.
