Space+&+Scale

**__SPACE__**

 Extension considered independently of anything that can contain, which makesextended objects conceivable and possible. T he distance from one thing to another, an interval between two or more objects, such as the space between two stars and so on.  The space is one of the first things they teach you in architecture school. At the begining is not easy to understand completely what space means but if you get the concept of space you will succeed in architecture.  Viewing architecture as space reminds us that the experience of the built environment is primarily the experience of space boundaries and connections.

====The dish of a balance; hence, the balance itself; an instrument or machine for weighing; as, to turn the scale; -- chiefly used in the plural when applied to the whole instrument or apparatus for weighing. Also used figuratively. ==== ====The sign or constellation Libra. ====

====To weigh or measure according to a scale; to measure; also, to grade or vary according to a scale or system ==== ====One of the small, thin, membranous, bony or horny pieces which form the covering of many fishes and reptiles, and some mammals, belonging to the dermal part of the skeleton, or dermoskeleton. See Cycloid, Ctenoid, and Ganoid Hence, any layer or leaf of metal or other material, resembling in size and thinness the scale of a fish; as, a scale of iron, of bone, etc  ==== One of the small scalelike structures covering parts of some invertebrates, as those on the wings of Lepidoptera and on the body of Thysanura; the elytra of certain annelids.



 **__HUMAN SCALE__** <span style="background-color: #4f3030; color: #1df1f1; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> Is the set of physical quantities, and quantities of information, characterizing the human body, its motor, sensory, or mental capabilities, and human social institutions.

<span style="background-color: #4f3030; color: #1df1f1; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> Many of the objects of scientific interest in the universe are much larger than human scale (stars, galaxies) or much smaller than human scale (molecules, atoms, subatomic particles). <span style="background-color: #4f3030; color: #1df1f1; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> Similarly, many time periods studied in science involve time scales much greater than human timescales (geological and cosmological time scales) or much shorter than human timescales (atomic and subatomic events). <span style="background-color: #4f3030; color: #1df1f1; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> Mathematicians and scientists use very large and small numberto describe physical quantities, and have created even larger and smaller numbers for theoretical purposes. <span style="background-color: #4f3030; color: #1df1f1; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> Human scale measurements however, are more in the order of:

<span style="background-color: #4f3030; color: #1df1f1; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> In architecture humans interact with their environments based on their physical dimensions, capabilities and limits. The field of anthopometrics (human measurement) has unanswered questions, but it's still true that human physical characteristics are fairly predictable and objectively measurable. Buildings scaled to human physical capabilities have steps, doorways, railings, work surfaces, seating, shelves, fixtures, walking distances, and other features that fit well to the average person. <span style="background-color: #4f3030; color: #1df1f1; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> Humans also interact with their environments based on their sensory capabilities. The fields of human perception systems, like perceptual psychology and cognitive psychology, are not exact sciences, because human information processing is not a purely physical act, and because perception is affected by cultural factors, personal preferences, experiences, and expectations. So human scale in architecture can also describe buildings with sightlines, acoustic properties, task lighting, ambient lighting, and spatial grammar that fit well with human senses. However, one important caveat is that human perceptions are always going to be less predictable and less measurable than physical dimensions.

<span style="background-color: #4f3030; color: #1df1f1; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> __**INTERIOR SPACES**__ <span style="background-color: #4f3030; color: #1df1f1; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> Describes a group of various yet related projects that involve turning an interior space into an effective setting for the range of human activities are to take place there. An interior designer is someone who conducts such projects. Interior design is a multifaceted profession that includes conceptual development, liaising with the stakeholders of a project and the management and execution of the design.

However, there are few of the quantitative estimation about the beneficial effects of green spaces. This study aims at contribution to establishment of the planning technology for optimal location and allocation of the green spaces with the various functions in urban area. Actually the tasks in planning, development and management are clarified by the case study of the existing green space. Moreover, the technique for the distribution planning of the green spaces that considered the evaluation of creating effects and the sustainable management is examined. (author abst.)
