perspectival
Concerning perspective in the visual arts; represented in such a way that a spatial impression of depth is created.
Die perspektivisch korrekte Darstellung des Raumes war für den Künstler eine Herausforderung.
The perspectivally correct depiction of the room was a challenge for the artist.
The word is derived from 'die Perspektive' (perspective). The ending '-isch' makes it an adjective. So it describes something that has to do with a perspective—either temporal or spatial.
Aus heutiger Perspektive war die Entscheidung falsch.
From today's perspective, the decision was wrong.
You can recognize the meaning from the context. If it is about the future, plans, or strategies, the temporal meaning is intended. If it is about art, drawing, or architecture, the spatial meaning is intended.
Perspektivisch müssen wir neue Mitarbeiter einstellen. (Zukunft)
In the long term, we will have to hire new employees. (future)
In the meaning 'concerning the future,' 'perspektivisch' (in the long term) is very often used as an adverb at the beginning of a sentence. Then the verb follows directly, and after that the subject.
Perspektivisch sehe ich für das Projekt gute Erfolgschancen.
In the long term, I see good chances of success for the project.
In the context of art, typical combinations are 'perspektivisch korrekt/falsch' (correct/incorrect in terms of perspective), 'perspektivisch verkürzt' (foreshortened), or 'eine perspektivische Darstellung' (a perspective representation).
