Sumario:When one experiences a place, it is a complex composition of both social and spatial factors. One of these spatial elements, is scale, which is influenced both by the room size and its proportions. This paper aims to explore both large and small scale concepts and thus increase the understanding of how scale directly and indirectly affects the experiences and uses of urban space. First, is a theoretical discussion of scale in relation to aesthetics and the differences between real scale and perceived scale. Next, is an analysis of spatial perception using examples from two existing sites. One, which is understood to have been planned in a large scale and one which is understood to have been planned in a small scale. When preparing this paper, the focus quickly became the importance of scale as it relates to street spaces. The perception of a street usually takes place while in motion, which forces it to be perceived in sections. Depending on the design, these sections can create an experience of the street space that could be large, small or diverse. The key to creating interesting environments is to find the right balance between variation in scale and richness in details.
