Notebook 03 · Rome

Rome,
The Eternal city.

Naturally
Timeless.

Rome has been composing views for centuries. Its stairs, columns and ochre walls establish the frame long before anyone enters it.

Marie uses that grandeur as proportion, not spectacle. A hand, a glance or a wedding party crossing the street returns the city to human scale.

Let the city
keep its grandeur.
Look for the human scale.
