Look up. Sant Pau's skyline is where structure becomes identity.
Why roofs matter here
- They unify distant pavilions into one visual family.
- They signal function without flattening personality.
- They animate the complex under changing light.
Roof-reading prompts
- Find repeating color families.
- Compare dome curvature across two buildings.
- Notice how chimneys and ridges punctuate rhythm.
