16th EAEA Conference

Envisioning Architectural Scales in the Analogue and Virtual Representation of Architecture

Envisioning Architectural Scales in the Analogue and Virtual Representation of Architecture.The theme addresses both the broad theoretical and the applied use of the term ‘scale’ within the architecture and related fields. Understanding the many aspects of scale within architecture will provide a foundation for understanding scale and its impact in architecture and its representations.

Scale is widely used both as a measure of geometrical space in relation to buildings and landscape in the physical and virtual world, but also as a measurement of sound, colour, light, and time. With a focus on the architectural scales in relation to all aspects of scale, the conference aims at expanding the knowledge of the use of scale in architecture.

The importance of scale as an analytical awareness on size and its relations is a phenomenon within architecture that can be addressed in numerous ways. The human scale, the scalelessness of virtual or digital models, or the scaling up and down through a variety of parameters in a representational architectural model, just to mention a few.

But how can the concept of scale be used to clarify and operationalize the vast number of possible inputs influencing the creation of architecture and relate them to our physical world of living people and architecture users?EAEA 2023 will provide an opportunity to explore and discuss architectural scale and its multifaceted definitions, uses, and impacts in manifestations of virtual or analogue architectural representations and models.
