By browsing through examples of drafts at different scales, the reader can get an intuitive sense of the right scale for his/her project. The scales covered are 1:2000, 1:500, 1:200, 1:100, 1:50, 1:20, 1:5, 1:1 and each section regroups several examples within the given scale.

Inspired Project
In the NICU Reading Program / Experiential Retail project, I built the entire model around the figurine’s proportions. Choosing the right scale upfront would impact the scope and resolution of the model. This book was helpful in providing me a point of reference, looking at people in space for various scales. In the end, I selected a 1:25 scale.
