Jerónimos Cloister Corners: Craft Micro-Geometries

Corners are craft theatres—where geometry bends and hands improvise.

🎭 What to Notice

• Spandrel reliefs catching light.
• Corner turns where carvers improvise.
• Motifs compress then expand to navigate tight radii.

Micro-Exercise

1. Photograph one corner from three heights (waist, chest, eye).
2. Compare how motifs stretch and shrink.
3. Look for a workshop signature: repeated flourish on leaf tips.

Corners are mini essays on geometry and light.

[^turn]: Turn details often encode workshop signatures.
