Abstract

The concept of scale, order and proportion, practically “forever”, accompanied human construction activity and even contributed to the definition of stages, epochs or architectural styles. Seeking the interconnected compositions between the object, its surroundings and the sensitivity of the recipient is still one of the basic issues connected with the work of architect and urbanist. Therefore, tracing the evolution of views and accomplishments with regard to paradoxically undefined today, but the commonly used concept of scale seems most appropriate.
