An elevation reading of Notre‑Dame from gallery and triforium levels: layers, lighting, and structural clarity.

View of the nave from the upper gallery

Above, the elevation reads like sheet music. The arcade, triforium, and clerestory become staves of structure.


📐 Elevation Logic

  • Arcade: Load‑bearing rhythm.
  • Triforium: Shadow band and passage.
  • Clerestory: Light and restraint.

🔭 Observation Notes

  • From gallery: See rib intersections clearly.
  • From triforium: Read profiles and joints.
  • From clerestory: Experience light.
