Abstract

Scaling Fascination is centered is centered on the thoughts around one of the main attributes of form and space, as it is scale, and its conscious manipulation inside the design process of Charles Eames and Ray Kaiser Eames Studio. It analyzes the design process itself as a way of thinking and life attitude, and from the understanding of part of its mechanisms, aims to associate scales of intervention as different as architecture and object design. In the work of Charles y Ray Eames, photography, modelism, collectionism, seriation and industrialization, do-it-yourself kits, kites, miniature trains and doll houses, architectural cabinets, seriousness of play and toys, architecture and design appear imbricated on an infinite play of scales with telescopic structure, as in its film Powers of 10
