Architecture is the art of building something intending it to be
aesthetically pleasing. Ancient Greece was one of the
first civilizations to incorporate balance, scale and
proportion to its architecture. These three defining aspects
they establish the character of the majority of the buildings constructed
in the Greek style.
History
Other ancient civilizations that were also drawn to the
architecture, like Persian or Egyptian, did not build with such presence
the balance, the scale and the proportion as the Greeks had them. These
societies raised grand structures that made everything else seem tiny
the men, both in proportion and in scale. The Greeks were the
first to construct symmetrical buildings that did not overshadow the size
of humans.
Identification
Although Greek architecture has different subdivisions, the structure
The basic structure of all of them is very similar. Greek buildings are, by
general, a large rectangle or cube reinforced by large columns
decorated that are located at the front of the building.
The SCALE is defined as the relationship between the
drawn dimension regarding its dimension
real.
Drawing dimensions
Escala =
Dimensions of reality
It is the relationship between the drawing measurements and the
actual measurements of the object.
IMPORTANCE
Scales are used in the field of technical drawing,
construction, architecture, etc. Its utility is to be able to
to represent a figure of a larger size in a
smaller size than in this case could be a
plan.
SCALES
The representation of objects at their normal size is not possible.
when they are very large or when they are very small.
In the first case, because they would require dimension formats.
a bit unwieldy and in the second, because there would be a lack of clarity in the
definition of the same.
This problem is resolved by the SCALE, applying the expansion or
necessary reductions in each case for the objects to remain
clearly represented in the drawing plan.

The scales depend on:

A scale ruler is a special ruler whose section

to contain different scales on the same ruler.
It is often used for measuring in drawings.
