During the Renaissance, artists and illustrators developed the
representation of truthful three-dimensional forms into a highly
skilled art. As reliable illustrations of three-dimensional
subjects became more prevalent, they also influenced the way in
which disciplines developed: architecture could be communicated
much more clearly, mathematical concepts and astronomical
observations could be quickly relayed, observations of the natural
world moved towards a more realistic method of depiction. Through
essays on some of the world's greatest artists and thinkers
(Leonardo da Vinci, Euclid, Andreas Vesalius, William Hunter,
Johannes Kepler, Andrea Palladio, Galileo Galilei, among many
others), this book tells the story of the development of the
techniques used to communicate three-dimensional forms on the
two-dimensional page and contemporary media. It features Leonardo
da Vinci's groundbreaking drawings in his notebooks and other
manuscripts, extraordinary anatomical illustrations, early paper
engineering including volvelles and tabs, beautiful architectural
plans and even views of the moon. With in-depth analysis of over
forty manuscripts and books, 'Thinking 3D' also reveals the impact
that developing techniques had on artists and draughtsmen
throughout time and across space.
