Space+and+Scale+Architecture



Space and Scale are the most natural and important elements to architecture and urban planning because they are closely related to humans. Scale is a type of measure that allows us to compare different things. For example, in urban planning scale is not only the reference we use to measure maps and plans; it is also the way to establish intervention domains. Therefore we can talk about Global scale, metropolitan scale or even local scale, among others.

Space, on the other hand, is related in urban planning to land uses or land property; in this case we can speak of public and private spaces (the last one refers to an architectural scale most of the time) and public spaces, commercial spaces and goes on.
