Proportion+and+Scale





=Challenge=
 * **Proportion is the term used to describe the relationship between two things of different size. In architecture we are looking for the proportional relationship between spaces and the size of the human body. The proportion of the room can greatly affect the way a person feels in a space. We often talk about this kind of proportion as scale when we speak about a building. Ordinarily, an architect tries to design a space so that people feel comfortable moving about in it. For that reason, a bedroom may have a much lower ceiling than an auditorium. where many people will mingle. Sometimes a building is designed so a space is purposely out of proportion to human scale. An example of this would be the towering spaces inside cathedrals that make people feel quite insignificant in comparison to the awesome power of God. Architects also deliberately design spaces with changing scale by varying heights of ceilings and sizes of rooms. This makes the occupants movement through the space more dynamic.** ||

Part 1
===On the BBA campus find an example of something that you think is an example of good proportion and then find an example of something that is out of (or is bad) proportion. Photograph both examples and post them to your e-portfolio. Proportion is the relationship of the parts to the whole. That is to say, do the various parts that make up a building, or the various buildings that make up the campus have a sense of proportion or not? Please write a response to justify your opinions.===

Part 2
===Create a humorous image from the juxtaposition of two radically different scales. You can approach this is a few different ways. You could create a collage of different images cut from a magazine or newspaper. You could create a photomontage using Photoshop, or take a photo that incorporates two different subjects which appear as two different scales. As demonstrated by the example below.===

===This image was taken during last year's performance of Little Shop of Horrors. It show the two main characters during a duet. However the photo is humorous because the the juxtaposition of the two figures which makes Bailey look like a giant and Owen look like a midget. In fact the two actors were just different distances from the camera===
