Discovery of the linear perspective of the Renaissance is momentous in terms of the appearance of a new &ldquo / way of seeing&rdquo / that is central to the &ldquo / subject&rdquo / and emergence of a &ldquo / subjective&rdquo / &ldquo / way of representing&rdquo / the world. With the assumption that &ldquo / perspective&rdquo / is a cultural constituent of the &ldquo / Renaissance paradigm&rdquo / that generates the representational notions of art and architecture, perspective is considered as a &ldquo / convention&rdquo / and a &ldquo / mode of representation&rdquo / that has been influential until the &ldquo / paradigm shifts&rdquo / in the nineteenth and twentieth century. With the influx of the modernist avant-gardes, &ldquo / subjective&rdquo / linear perspective is replaced with the &ldquo / instruments&rdquo / of the new paradigm, and &ldquo / parallel projection&rdquo / becomes the mere tool for the representation and production of art and architecture introducing a new &ldquo / objective&rdquo / structure. The aim of this study is to reawaken and reconsider perspective through the &ldquo / conventions&rdquo / and the &ldquo / aberrations&rdquo / it reproduces. In this context, the course in the curriculum of METU Department of Architecture entitled Arch524 Architecture and Different Modes of Representation is covered as a &ldquo / pretext&rdquo / for this study. The theoretical framework and the structure of the course has a great impact on this study, since the course reconsider Renaissance perspective and its architectural production in a new context / within the modern architectural space of METU Faculty of Architecture Building. Following the traces of the selective works from the final exhibitions of the course, creating &ldquo / illusionistic spaces,&rdquo / and recalling the subject &ldquo / participation,&rdquo / it is questioned how perspective is &ldquo / exhibited&rdquo / and how the architectural space is reproduced.
