Abstract
“Linear representation” has been used, in the past of western history and near east, with celebrative functions and a mode of representation where a perception of depth is used linked to the overlapping of elements present in the scene and a consequent visualization in side elevation. A rediscovery of “linear representation” occurs in contemporary age, where it assumes a technical use in temporary and permanent environmental solutions or in new media, defining a new research field for representation applied to architecture, graphics and design, better known as “environmental graphics”. In this context, a particular development takes place on some ephemeral structures such as yard fences, with horizontal development, or in facades of buildings.
