Response to "Perspective Hinge" reading

In their prelude to the book Architectural Representation and the Perspective Hinge, authors Alberto Perez-Gomez and Louise Pelletier comment on the perspective hinge as a combination of several drawing techniques to better understand the created space. While they submit that architects attempt to avoid such a perspective hinge in order to prevent confusion and misunderstanding in their drawings, I tend to disagree. Yes, while it is true that architects attempt to clarify their drawings, many architects see the benefit of artistry and understanding in layering several types of drawings and images together. Especially with the proliferation of BIM related imagery, such compositions are now quite commonplace and useful.
