"As testified by its use throughout art history, axonometry is associated with technicality and feasibility; it embodies the esthetics of the design thinking, the visualization of the project vision. Axonometry stands both for concreteness - as a mathematical depiction of a subject - as well as for abstraction - as a detachment from the habitual perception. Axonometry is the scientific reproduction of a mental space, solid-state imagination.” (Fabiano Cocozza: The Grip of Thought on Space).

“When we imagine a thing, or strive to visualize it in the mind or memory, we do it in this way, without the distortions of ordinary perspective. Isometric perspective is therefore more intellectual, archetypal, it more truly renders the mental image - the thing seen by the mind’s eye” (Bragdon)
