Scale doesnt determine what is attractive or not but it willelicit feelings of comfort or burden. The result is ones observation that an objectis either "in scale" or "out of scale" with its surroundings.How one describes what is in scale or out of scale is asubjective response based on personal feelings. In essence, objects that are considered in scale just look or feel right.When a reference is made to someone who has a "goodeye," the inference is that the person, among other traits, can recognize objects which are in scale with each otherand/or their surroundings. Its much easier to describe howsomething is out of scale. When an object is out of scalewith the objects near it, that object is too big or too small inrelation to the size of those objects. The object doesnt fitour established frame of reference.There are three generally-accepted terms fordenoting the Element of Scale: Human Scale, MonumentalScale, and Shock Scale. All three scale types utilize the humanform for distinction. Human Scale is used to design thingsfor the physical and cognitive characteristics of humans. Inother words, things are designed - whether they are spaces, vehicles, tools, or computers - so they can be understood andutilized at a level that relates to the limitations of a person.Human Scale balances the size of a space or objectwith the size of the user/viewer, allowing the user to feelcomfortable more than anything else. Human Scale allowsthe users to feel themselves in agreeable proportion to whatthey see and hear so they share a sense of being relatedto the environment in a pleasing way. When comfort andassurance are desirable traits in a design process, HumanScale must be made evident.Scale - The size of an object relative to the size of the spacein which it is located or other objects within that space.The Element of ScaleHuman Scale(Courtesy: Patrick Gainer)Monumental Scale(Courtesy: Patrick Gainer)Shock Scale(Courtesy: Patrick Gainer)Holes By Design: The Architects Choice.
