| ||
The land and space required on the surface, subsurface, and

 |
The degree of relatedness to the size and proportions of
a known unit of measurement, typically the human body. The size of
the exterior wall planes (or architectural features) is one of the
most important measurements of scale. If the wall plane is the approximate
dimensions of the human body, it is of a human scale. If the size
of the wall plane greatly exceeds the human body, it is referred to
as a monumental scale. Most Greek Revival buildings are of a monumental
scale because the large pillars usually extend to the roof line of
the building.
 |
 |
|
Two buildings of a similar size can have different scales. The
building on the right may have a lower roof line, but the tall columns
and the long windows give it a larger appearance and scale.
|
Human scale means that the openings and architectural features
of a building are similar to that of a human body. Likewise, humans
can readily relate to the building and are not dwarfed by it.
|

filed and recorded in the office of the County Clerk prior to the
appointment of a Planning Board and the grant to such Board of the
power to review plats, and includes the land between street lines,
