Space_&_Scale

According to László Moholy-Nagy the space is a reality of sensory experience captured only through the senses, so unique and individual.

According to the information published in Britannica, the encyclopedia, the scale is the relationship between three-termed. When the proportions of architectural composition are applied to a particular building, the two-termed relationship of the parts to the whole must be harmonized with a third term—the observer. He not only sees the proportions of a door and their relationship to those of a wall (as he would in a drawing of the building), but he measures them against his own dimensions.

**Proportion: ** According to the information published in Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, Proportion  is conceived as the relation between elements and a whole.

According to William Harris the Proportion of the Golden Mean  has been much interest in the modern times. Since the Renaissance it has been used extensively in art and architecture, it figures in the Venetian Church of St. Mark built early in the 16th century, and has become a standard proportion for width in relation to height as used in facades of buildings, in window sizing, in first story to second story proportion, at times in the dimensions of paintings and picture frames. There is something "satisfactory" about the relationships of the Greek "divided lines" proportion, which some have felt to be modern acculturation since the Renaissance. In the l930's the Pratt Institute of New York did a study on various rectangular proportions laid out as vertical frames, and asked several hundred art students to comment on which seemed the most pleasing. The ratio of 1 : 2 was least liked, while the Golden Ratio was favored by a very large margin, which seemed to point to the actual dimensions as generating a pleasing response by their size.



From Vitruvius' Principles of Symmetry the <span style="color: #00b0f0; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 18.6667px;">Proportion <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 18.6667px;"> is a correspondence among the measures of the members of an entire work, and of the whole to a certain part selected as standard. From this result the principles of symmetry. Without symmetry and proportion there can be no principles in the design of any temple; that is, if there is no precise relation between its members, as in the case of those of a well shaped man.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 18.6667px; text-align: justify;">In a certain way, we can see that the building have a good proportion between the landscape that surrounding it, because the other buildings share the same relationship in size, height and even decoration. A good proportion between the geometric shapes that conform the whole, two big rectangular prisms, and the proportion between the elements like the bell tower and the facade.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 18.6667px; text-align: justify;">Maybe, in comparison of the landscape we can note that the church is small, but when we enter on the building we can observe the huge space <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 18.6667px; text-align: justify;"> inside it, of course, the experience of each person is different and in consequence, we can feel the space different too.
