Ceiling detail—lines and panels

The ceiling is quiet movement drawn in lines. Ribs and panels choreograph light.


🧭 Cues

  • Follow ribs to supports.
  • Watch panels catch light.
  • Look for bosses as rhythmic accents.

Ceiling—lines and quiet movement

Lines make a score—light performs it.

[^panel]: Panels modulate texture and tone.

O autorovi

Jako milovník Lisabonu a autor ‘pomalých cest’ jsem napsal tento průvodce, aby vám pomohl ‘číst’ ‘kamennou knihu’ kláštera — plavby a modlitby, poezii a jemné belémské světlo.
