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.
The author obtained his B.A. (1968), the M.A. and Ph. D. (1981-1987) in Architecture. At present is a tenured researcher in the School of Architecture of UNAM (México, City). He obtained the National Autonomous University of Mexico award in architecture and design (2000), and holds the National Emeritus Researcher distinction (National System of Researchers, SNI, Conahcyt).
He has devoted his time to research in the field of the geometry of perspective since the late 1960's. His main achievement is the method of perspective called, Modular Perspective. He is also the author of several works of architecture and urban design.
