Answer to Question 1

Answer: Scale refers to the relative size of an art object, that is, the dimensions of an object in relation to the original object it depicts or in relation to the objects around it. Proportion refers to the relationship between the parts of an object and the whole.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The villa is defined by its radial balance, with a central domed rotunda with porches radiating from each of its four sides.
