 * GRABAR DESCRIPCION DE LASFOTOS**


 * Scale:** is how we perceive the size of a building element or space relative to other forms. The most common expressions related to this word are human scale, inhuman scale, out of scale, automobile scale, etc. Each has different meanings, but the main idea is to communicate the relative size of things. We tend to use other elements of know-size in their context as measuring devices know as scale-giving elements who size and characteristics are familiar to us through experience and the human figure. In architecture there are 2 basic types of scale:


 * Generic scale:** the size of a building element relative to other forms in context, from this we obtain 3 kinds of scale:
 * **Natural scale:** is the attempt to make a building express its actual dimensions. Natural scale is obviously to be sought in the ordinary workaday structures of the world.
 * **Heroic scale:** is the attempt to make a building appear as large as possible; this is not a falsification of scale.
 * **Intimate scale:** is the desire to make buildings or rooms appear smaller than their actual size; is seldom desirable and is difficult to achieve.

In this picture we can se that a big space is reduce by the colocation of certain elements that gives the feeling of a close and more private place. rss url="http://www.voxopop.com/feed/de4114cd-b8d3-48d9-b986-ac2f24979066" link="true" number="10" enclosure="true"

We are used to seeing photograph of the Greek columns in books, but in this picture we can begin to understand and the real scale of the building and its huge size compared to an average person. rss url="http://www.voxopop.com/feed/2951534e-fbd0-4fbc-b5a8-7c3e328ed3fa" link="true" number="15" enclosure="true"
 * Human scale:** the size of a building or space relative to the dimensions and proportions to the human body. This can also divide in 3 diferent scales:[[image:https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS-b_I_EDk81hqIWJPA355f9vdJ_zJmMjoyYw0dUckvjaXA_3ozPA]]


 * **Physical scale:** is measurable, and helps to know the right size of things in a physical way.
 * **Associative scale:** is determined by precedent, this type of scale is just real and measurable for the sense; eyes and memory do the measuring.
 * **Effectual scale:** it refers to the way we feel inside a space, such as rooms, buildings or open spaces; this scale depends on the person that experiences the scale and the circumstances of the moment, for this reason effectual scale is psychological.


 * Proportion:** 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.


 * Interior space: **the inside of a structure and its distribution




 * Exterior space: **the outside of a structure and is surroundings
