| Relief pattern | Door surrounds | Craft hierarchy |

Slow-looking protocol: stand still for one full minute before shooting your first photo in each room.
- Capture one macro and one wide per room.
- Compare current details with historic references.
- Listen to how sound changes by surface.
In Monserrate, details are structural to meaning, not decorative extras.
Micro-reading protocol
Choose one motif family and track it across rooms. Repetition plus variation reveals hierarchy and intent more clearly than isolated observations.
This method shows where craft investment concentrates and where ornament supports spatial pacing rather than pure display.
