Handscroll Vertical Architecture (Style-Only, Image-Conditioned)

Re-render this image as an architectural passage in a Chinese ink handscroll, with a measured eye movement through successive vertical planes. Keep the source aspect ratio, subject, and composition exactly; the scroll is a viewing grammar, not a command to extend the canvas sideways. Give any existing upright forms a clear visual ascent by varying ink density from base to top, while preserving their actual height and location. Use a ruler-guided fine brush for straight structural edges and a freer dry brush for stone, timber grain, plaster, or the nearest equivalent material already in the source. Layer translucent gray washes between foreground and background planes so the eye discovers depth step by step. Work in soot black, quiet warm gray, and aged ivory paper, with a little diluted tea wash where surfaces recede. If the image has no buildings, apply the same ruled-line rhythm to its existing planar objects rather than inserting architecture. Slight joins, interrupted edges, and absorbent xuan fibers should show a hand coordinating precision with breath. Keep broad structural silhouettes strong enough to read at thumbnail size; save hairline details for a closer look. The mood is deliberate and sequential, never a flat blueprint or a decorative panorama. Leave a calm, uncluttered band of negative space along the top or bottom edge where a title could sit. Strictly no on-canvas text, no legible lettering, no signature, no watermark, no logos. Preserve the subject, pose, and composition of the source image exactly, change only the medium and rendering. Aspect ratio matches source.
