ABSTRACT
Landscapes are complex three-dimensional living mediums. Graphic representation of them involves a complex understanding of temporal, geometrical, and technical information. Landscape perspective drawings, in particular, can be used as an effective medium for design explorations as a means to expand sensory-based landscape design investigations: the negotiation between ourselves and the environment. This chapter is intended to show selected examples of digital student perspective drawings of the Pennsylvania State University that test the experiential qualities within the context of student studio design projects at various stages of conceptual development. While qualities of the selected drawings may share similarities in content, stage within the design process, and/or style, it is my hope that the distinctiveness between these similarities and differences relative to how each student is testing sensibility through perspective drawing approaches is most evident.
