Scale is the size relationship of two things or parts to the whole. There are 2 basic measuring tools. One is based on our experience with typical objects, such as bricks, rocks, doors, windows. The other is the human body itself. We then compare the typical objects to the human scale.
Space is what architecture is all about. The architect's job can be simply stated as the manipulation of the forms, patterns, and textures of space. His or her ability is judged by how effective the available space is molded and structured.
Teatro Teresa Carreño - Tomás Lugo Marcano , Jesús Sandoval y Dietrich Kunckel
In the Teatro Teresa Carreño of Thomas Lugo Marcano, Jesus Sandoval and Dietrich Kunckel. We see that it is a really majestic project. We could think that this project is too big that isolates the human scale. We need to consider: the function of it, this project is a theater which main purpose is to give presentations to an audience.
The scale of such importance project, the most important cultural complex in Venezuela, must be proportional to the human capacity that it can hold. In this way, we can see that this theater revolves around the human scale, if we look inside the Sala Ríos Reyna we note that is based on it, from the biggest aspect such as the space; to the smallest details, like the size of the doors is proportional to the number of people that the theater can hold; we note that every single aspect and detail is related to the human scale.
