5.2.6 Scale and Proportion

Illustration 8: Scale of the Central Space; Economic Times

The Rajiv Chowk Metro Station has an area of about 39,503 square feet (3,669.9 m2). The scale of the place is monumental for an individual, where one can feel lost amongst the crowd. The monumental scale of the building infuses one‘s mind with fear or assertion of power. The space in the center of the building is double-height, while it's horizontally spread over a large area. Hence, the horizontal proportion of the building dominates over the vertical proportion; causing a feeling of comfort or ―being at ease‖ in one‘s mind.
