Introduction:
It is what architecture is all about. The architect's job can be simply stated as the manipulation of the forms, patterns, and textures of space. His or her ability is judged by how effective the available space is molded and structured. || **Scale:** People relate everything in their environment to themselves. The scale of measure we invariably use is ourselves. Even without meaning to, we compare new things with things we know. And we know nothing better than the feel and frame of our own bodies. Everything in architecture is designed to human size, to human scale. Is it the same in Urban Planning? Are there other types of scales? ||
 * **Space:**

Day 1:
=Space: F2F Group-Work (Your presence in class is mandatory!) =
 * The class will be devided into groups (4 students per group)
 * Each group will read 3 different articles related to Space
 * Students will read and discuss the content of each article (20 to 25 minutes per article)
 * While students read and discuss each article, notes about the content must be taken.
 * Per article, each group will make 1 (one) question with its corresponding answer (3 questions in total).
 * Using the notes, each group will write a one paragraph summary about Space and post it to the corresponding forum in Moodle. Questions and answers should be included in this forum too. Once your paragraph is corrected, it will be ready to be posted to your wiki page called Space & Scale.
