Why the Roof Must Rise

Vertical space is sacred bandwidth

The flèche rises ten metres to carry messages between the living and the ancestors above.

Every entrance teaches belonging

Carved chambranles record lineage — you read the doorframe before you cross the threshold.

Sound outruns sight in the forest

The conch shell crowns the ridge because a voice carries further than any signal flag.

Round walls hold no hierarchy

In the grande case, every position around the circle carries equal ground.
