Paul Collis, Civic Scale (URBAN 2026)

Photographed in the early morning in Cologne, Civic Scale observes a monumental civic façade before the city fully awakens. A solitary municipal worker introduces human proportion within the architectural mass, emphasising the relationship between individual presence and public structure. The image reflects on scale, function, and the quiet maintenance that underpins urban life.
