Oral history interview with Paul Stevenson Oles, 1994 February 1.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/78708875

Steve Oles is an architectural perspectivist who was employed by I. M. Pei for the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., East Building project. Oles described how he learned of the East Building project and the effect that his work on this project and association with Pei had on his career. He explained the role of the perspectivist in representing architectural concepts, the process of transferring information between the architect/designer and perspectivist/illustrator, and the impact on the design process of trial images that can be corrected and modified. He discussed later verification of the accuracy of East Building perspectives with on-site photographs, and publications relating to his work as an architectural perspectivist.
