The Human Scale project explores the vital, emotional, and symbolic roles of architecture expressed in 20th-century architects’ drawings. At the Romanian Pavilion in Venice, a central, imaginative space is defined by large translucent “sheets” of tracing paper that fill the pavilion. The aim was to create a performative installation that reverses the usual focus of architectural drawings, with a scenography where architecture “disappears” and human interaction with space takes center stage. The installation invites us to imagine architecture in which the body becomes a key creative factor, actively responding to human sensitivities and needs. At its core lies the concept of human scale—the main theme linking the exhibition and highlighting the importance of human presence in a constantly evolving environment. Visitors are immersed in a post-technological future where fascination with digital tools fades, and attention returns to drawing as a space of memory and collective intelligence.
