| Footage description: | John Naughton introduces the programme by listing its objectives. Philip Steadman briefly outlines the importance of technical drawings in the development of science and technology. Steadman uses a model of a terraced house to discuss the principles of perspective drawings. Some computer generated graphics are also used Steadman goes on to describe some of the properties of perspective drawings such as the vanishing point, the phenomenon of foreshortening etc. Shots of perspective drawings of the terraced house above as he talks. Steadman uses drawings and computer generated graphics of the terraced house to explain what orthographic drawings are. To re-inforce his points, he covers the model of the house with a rectangular transparent perspex box which has drawn on its sides and top the elevations and roof plan. Finally Steadman explains the nature of floor plans and section plans of houses. By manipulating the model of the terraced house as he talks, he points out how these plans are obtained.
