Scale refers to the size of a building in comparison to other objects around it. You can find lots of photos of the work of le corbuier and kahn. Research on the internet and libraries should prove very helpful.

Beside the architectural meaning of 'Scale', certain other meanings could be used. Some of the other meanings of the word (as a noun) could be the skin structures on fish, butterfly, armadillo, crocodile, etc.
Another meaning of scale is in its use in music to denote the various pitches.
A third one is that relating to boiler scales formed due to the presence of salts in water which are left behind when water is heated to high temperature. A fourth one could be the rust or other deposit on iron which is heated to a high degree due to oxidation.
I am not familiar with architecture and so don't know how the above information would help. I also don't know much about the famous architects you have mentioned.
However, the pictures of some of the things mentioned above, are easily available, especially fish, butterfly, reptiles with scales and musical scores. Maybe you could use some of these pictures and try to connect them with the portion given from the architects.
This may or may not help much, but could be a starting point for your assignment. I personally prefer the use of scale in relation to scales on a fish and some reptiles, which could be related to architectural ideas.
