Studio Lab / Scale Room

Scale Room: put the dimensions back into the encounter.

Every featured shape is generated from documented metric dimensions. Switch the architectural reference, keep a 170 cm viewer visible, and read the full table when graphics are not useful.

Learning objective

Read size as physical information.

Understand documented physical artwork dimensions relative to a 170 cm viewer and clearly labeled architectural reference walls without requiring reproduction of the artwork image.

Method: AEU uses only height and width explicitly recorded in the artwork record. Metric-to-imperial text and ratios to the 170 cm reference viewer are interface calculations. The reference walls are deliberately labeled AEU comparison aids, not reconstructed historical spaces. The interface bands are navigation aids only, not art-historical categories or value judgments.

3D boundary: For sculpture, assemblage, or any record with documented depth, Scale Room shows only a front bounding-dimension guide plus the recorded depth as text. It does not calculate volume, mass, silhouette, occupied floor area, viewing angle, or a three-dimensional reconstruction.

Rights: No historical artwork image is bundled or generated. The shapes are code-driven dimensional guides; artwork records remain the source for rights-controlled visual access.

Reference switch

Change the wall. Keep the documented work dimensions.

8 curated records show the range. The table below covers every current artwork with both height and width recorded.

AEU interface reference: 9.0 m wide × 4.0 m high. This is not a claim about a historical or current gallery.

Exact dimensional table

The exact dimensions, ratios, spatiality, and reference-fit state appear in a text table beneath the visual cards. Reference-wall controls are native radio inputs, every generated scale guide has a descriptive aria-label, and no conclusion depends on color alone.

77 of 78 artworks currently have both height and width recorded; 1 cannot be drawn proportionally and remains un-inferred.
