Parc de la Villette is often criticized as being too large being designed without consideration for the scale of a human, and argued to be exist within a vacuum as it does not take the history of the site or the surrounding context into consideration. However with such a large site and the scale seemingly to be out of touch with the human, it becomes an analytical and conceptual approach to the way a human feels within a larger urban setting. The park is almost a perverse reiteration of urban life where the human is caught in the relentlessly overwhelming milieu that removes humanistic sensibility to accommodate for larger numbers of people.
