Prof. Dr. , Gazi University, Faculty of Architecture, Department of Architecture, Ankara, Türkiye.  \nAbstract  \nThe purpose of the paper is to discuss scale as not only a representative but also a creative and imaginative tool. By using the method of conceptual analysis, the paper discusses concepts which are used to define scale in architecture. These analyses reveal the changing theoretical framework of scale. The argument of the paper is that this is the change of scale from being a representationalto a self-representational tool, suggesting that when scale is freed from the dimensional or proportional qualities of the object it represents, it only represents itself in architecture. Although scale is usually defined by the concepts of size, dimension, measurement and proportion, it has many other definitions, as it is relational and perceptual. The relational and perceptual nature of scale makes it an imaginative tool in architectural design. It is also a creative tool that encourages designers to think and imagine in an interdisciplinary context in architecture. Scale, therefore, cannot be understood only as a technical tool that represents the size of a design object. As a contribution to the literature, the paper reconceptualises scale as a self-representational tool that does not necessarily represent a specific size or object. The paper conceives of scale as a tool for designing in between scales in architecture.  \nKeywords: Architecture, Architectural Design, Interdisciplinarity, Scale, Scaling  \n[Corresponding Author:](Corresponding Author: gulsahgulec@gazi.edu.tr)[ ](Corresponding Author: gulsahgulec@gazi.edu.tr)[gulsahgulec@gazi.edu.tr](Corresponding Author: gulsahgulec@gazi.edu.tr)  \n[Received:](Received: 06.04.2025-Accepted: 29.07.2025)[ 06.04.2025-](Received: 06.04.2025-Accepted: 29.07.2025)[Accepted:](Received: 06.04.2025-Accepted: 29.07.2025)[ 29.07.2025](Received: 06.04.2025-Accepted: 29.07.2025)  \nCite: Güleç, G.

Dr. , Gazi Üniversitesi, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü, Ankara, Türkiye.  \nÖzet  \nMakalenin amacı, ölçeği sadece temsili değil aynı zamanda yenilikçi bir araç olarak tartışmaktır. Makalede kavramsal analiz yöntemi kullanılmakta; mimaride ölçeği tanımlamak için kullanılankavramlar analitik olarak tartışılmaktadır. Analizler, ölçeğin değişen kuramsal çerçevesini ortayakoymaktadır. Söz konusu değişim, ölçeğin temsil ettiği nesnenin boyutsal ya da oransal niteliklerinden kurtulduğunda yalnızca kendini temsil edebilme potansiyeline sahip olduğunu göstermektedir.Ölçek genellikle büyüklük, boyut, ölçü ve oran kavramlarıyla tanımlansa da ilişkisel ve algısal olması nedeniyle başka birçok tanıma sahiptir. Ölçeğin ilişkisel ve algısal doğası, onu mimari tasarımdayenilikçi ve yaratıcı bir araç haline getirir. Ayrıca ölçek, mimari tasarımcıları disiplinlerarası bir bağlamda düşünmeye ve hayal etmeye teşvik eden bir araç olarak görülebilir. Dolayısıyla ölçek, yalnızca bir tasarım nesnesinin boyutunu temsil eden teknik bir araç olarak düşünülememektedir. Bu makalenin literatüre olan katkılarından biri, ölçeği belirli bir boyutu ya da nesneyi temsil etmesigerekmeyen, bunun yerine kendini temsil eden bir araç olarak yeniden kavramsallaştırmayı denemesidir. Bu nedenle makalede ölçek, mimaride ölçekler arasında tasarım yapmayı mümkünhale getiren bir araç olarak değerlendirilmektedir.  \nAnahtar Kelimeler: Mimarlık, Mimari Tasarım, D","cbCaieDnVjoBp3cB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieDnVjoBp3cB","pdf",1388564,14,"English","# Introduction\n## Scale as a design tool\n## Scale beyond quantitative meanings","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the paper about scale in architecture?\",\"answer\":\"The paper aims to discuss scale not only as representation, but also as a creative and imaginative tool in architectural design.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper redefine scale compared with common definitions?\",\"answer\":\"Instead of limiting scale to size, dimension, measurement and proportion, the paper treats it as relational and perceptual, and reconceptualizes it as a self-representational tool.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is designing in between scales important according to the paper?\",\"answer\":\"The paper conceives scale as enabling designers to work between scales, and also between disciplinary fields by freeing scale from the object’s dimensional or proportional qualities.\"}]","Designing Architecture In Between Scales - Research Article | PDF",35]
