I met the standard by learning how to use the proper scale in every drawings I do before considering them done and also by remembering what a scale is from my earlier school experience, especially related to geographical maps. Honestly this standard has been one of the easiest ones, even because we had at the beginning of the year an entire Unit on how scaling a drawing, wich turned out being really helpful for our future works. making them easier and letting us focus on something else more dificult where the head was needed. This standard has real-world application because being able to properly scale whatever you have just drawn, especially if you plan to work in an architectural field , has actually a big importance, if you don't scale well your work once you are done with any other things, it's like you hadn't done anything, or, worse, you ruin it! Every mesaurement have to be perfectly scaled, could you imagine how an house would look like if an architect makes even a little mistake? Beside weird and not good-looking, it would not be safe for those who live in there! My future goals are to go ahead with this topic, learning more about how the real architects scale their complex project;; I noticed that at those levels using proper scales of drawings is not that easy as it could seem from what we are doing right now, and it's for this reason I'd like to know more about it to get ready for my possible occupation. I think I could achieve this knowledge I wish I'll get both taking some advanced courses about this disciplines or trying to look for this information on the Web.
