This unit of our class has broadened my views on design as a whole. I did not recognize the concept of scale until then. Scale can be portrayed in many fashions and each designer has his or her own perspective. The scale helps us compare or contrast what is being shown to us. We see different sizes and shapes representing that. As we looked at the chairs in class I pondered the idea of how people think and what makes them say “this is what I have made because…,” and so on about scale. Most of design is opinionated art work with guidelines. The scale shows us new viewpoints about objects and space; and how they interact. It is important that the scale is appealing to the eye and will stick out in our mind. The scale is not like any other principle we see in unit 1 because it involves so much more than just what is on paper. Scale can be an art form in itself. Any design ever constructed can be out to scale and tell us something about it; It can paint an image for us.
The image below shows us a large open room that shares a table and a couch with a fire place, but we see the break in the wall that obviously divides this large room into two sections, or separate open rooms. (Dining room and Living room)
In the photo above we see the inside of a castle where elegancy and beauty reside. There is immense detail put into each piece of the room to help show scale.
