Space Across Cultures

Linear perspective is one answer to "how do I show space on a flat page" — not the only one, and not the "right" one. Four short steps, from why realistic space is a cultural choice, all the way to picking a space system on purpose to say what you mean. Each step has its own toy to play with.

1 Where it comes fromFlip one scene between European perspective and an aerial way of seeing — both honest. 2 How to do itThe signature toy: switch the same scene between four cultures' space systems. 3 Where it gets trickyMatch each system to its intention — and dodge the "it's not realistic" trap. 4 Out in the wildPick what you want to say, and watch the matching space system appear.
