Watch video about Escher and complete the ten gaps in the transcript.

 

 

There's Belvedere, from 58. __________this position, the building seems to make sense. Seems, I say, for

Escher could design buildings __________ could only exist in two dimensions, because he shows the building from one certain position - that means, our position.

 

Let's see if we can fly ___________ it. Nothing about the pillars there in the middle ________ sense. They connect the front of the building with the rear. It's just ____________ spaghetti! The top floor has been turned from 90 degrees __________ relation to the bottom floor. That's the way it's built. ___________ the  people are fake.

Let's see if we can fly around it. Nothing about the pillars there in the middle makes sense. They connect the front of the building with the rear. It's just like spaghetti! The top floor has been turned from 90 degrees in relation to the bottom floor. That's the way it's built. Even the  people are fake.

 

Do you see that? Now all the pillars look straight again! And then there's that ladder. Nothing wrong with it, you might say, but the top stands against the outside of the building, and the bottom stands inside it! We're going right through it!...
