Dr. Tomás García-Salgado's invention of Modular Perspective is a rare accomplishment –one that I have been privileged to review, study and analyze and assess for this book. The ingenious method that he has devised is a remarkable process for precision projection of perspective. 

Modular Perspective is a synthesis of many brilliant studies and research into perspective theory from across the centuries, beginning with the invention of accurate three-dimensional projection from the 14th century and early Renaissance, the methodical system of traditional perspective projection, from plan, elevation and section, drafted point by point, from station point to picture plane, from vanishing points into three-dimensionality is synthesized into Dr. Salgado's compact and rigourous system.

Calificaciones y opiniones

Amazed by the creativity of Doctor García-Salgado, who devoted years of research, scientific analysis, theoretical development, and practical application, to support the Modular Perspective Method he invented. Also, grateful, because, in the book, he managed to translate the complexity involved in such an invention into simple explanations; thus, offering a step by step guide to achieve the magical results of the method. Needless to say, as an architect and painter, I am thrilled to have found this extraordinary tool which will help me crystallize more accurately my ideas into the blank paper or canvas.
