Space+and+Scale+Architecture

Space

The most important thing at the moment of design is the creation of spaces. Space is basically formed by the relationship between an object and a human being who perceives it. Space, although primarily determined by sight, in the case of architecture, it is also affected by olfaction, audition and tactility.

On the other hand, exterior architectural space is the one created by delimiting nature; it is a man-made environment with a purpose that is delimited only by a floor and a wall, making the choice of colors and textures in its design very important.

The ability of an architect is judged by how effectively the available space is molded and structured.

Scale

The word scale refers to the relative size of things. Scale is something that the architect has to think during the design process. In architecture, we are concerned with two types of scale: generic and human scale.

Generic scale refers to the size of a building or space relative to others forms in the context. And human scale refers to the size of a building, element or space relative to the dimensions of the human body. media type="file" key="space scale.wav"
