The author presents a model of projective perspective named Modular Network and analyzes how it differs from vectorial methods, primarily in regard to its geometric conception based on tri-dimensional models. He discusses the principles of modular scale as well as the characteristics of the plane onto which the image is projected in perspective and the importance of taking the focal distance into account so as to control the projection according to a determined aperture of the visual field. The usage of the author’s modular scale, whose design is based on the determination of the scale of depth, is shown in a graphical perspective.
