Russian term or phrase: Собранные вместе, они образуют нечто вроде панорамы города – Рима?
Изображения храмов, портиков, арок, колонн, мостов сведены к минималистическим силуэтам, почти знакам. Собранные вместе, они образуют нечто вроде панорамы города – Рима? Третьего Рима? Петербурга-Петрограда-Ленинграда? Или Города как идеи?
