Roles of an Architect

Architecture is not just about creating structures that look good; it’s also about ensuring that spaces feel right to the people who inhabit them. This lesson will delve into the concepts of scale and proportion, exploring how the dimensions of a building or room relate to the human body. You will study how architects use scale to create environments that are comfortable, balanced, and harmonious. By understanding human measurements—such as the average height of a person or the reach of a hand—architects can design spaces that are proportionate and intuitive. You will also explore the psychological impact of scale: how a room that feels too small or too large can influence how people feel and interact within it.
