Nave view with clerestory and piers

The nave aligns vision. Clerestory bands set a tempo; piers score movement like measures. Rhythm makes orientation effortless.


Visual Tempo

  • Banding: Alternation of light and stone.
  • Repetition: Bays count steps and breaths.
  • Focus: Axis tightens toward the altar.

Rhythm is structure felt by the eyes.
