Keep Roman Geometry Stable While Exploring a New Context
Preserve the anchor building's silhouette, massing, footprint, walls, columns, pilasters, arches, vaults, domes, openings, roofs, arcades, coffers, ornament, materials, camera, and perspective. Change planting, paving, roads, distant context, sky, weather, light, and atmosphere around it.
