Sciography

About Sciography
Sciography is a branch of science of the
perspective dealing with the projection of
shadows, or delineation of an object in
perspective with its gradations of light and
shade.
In architecture it is defined as a study of
shades and shadows cast by simple
architectural forms on plain surfaces.
