Landscape: spatial expanse, natural or transformed by man, which presents a certain visual or functional identity: forest, urban, industrial landscape”.
“Overall view that we have from a given point: from my window”. A fractal is a geometric object in which each proportion has an identical surface, which means that whatever the angle from which we look at it, it always remains similar.

Scale
The scale consists of a suite of levels that form a hierarchy. Continuous and ordered sequence serving as comparison or evaluation, system of references.

Fractals

Some man-made objects are geometrically simple in that they are like idealized forms such as lines, planes, cubes or polyhedra. Ever since Euclid invented geometry, people have been content with the idea that all objects can be classified as compositions of regular geometric shapes. The architecture found inspiration in the Euclidean geometry and in the properties of the symmetry and repetition.
