Reusable prompt

Use case: photorealistic-natural. Asset type: original premium architecture art poster for a bilingual visual prompt library, portrait 3:4, one standalone finished image. Create an entirely original quiet contemporary courtyard library in a humid subtropical city, built from pale board-formed concrete, dark timber screens and shallow reflecting water. The architectural idea is revealed through sunlight passing through a suspended perforated bronze canopy, casting a precise evolving field of leaf-like geometric shadows across the courtyard floor and one long reading wall. Build one coherent courtyard with a narrow covered passage leading toward one small reading pavilion; dense real bamboo and ferns appear only beyond the courtyard boundary. Use high-end architectural photography, physically believable materials and restrained editorial realism. Frame an eye-level three-quarter view with full spatial continuity, the courtyard in the lower four-fifths, calm negative space above and one tiny adult visitor for scale. Late-afternoon sun arrives from upper left, balancing warm bronze reflections with cool concrete shade. Show concrete grain, aged bronze perforations, wet stone, real timber joints and fine ripples. Structure, passage, pavilion, pool and drainage must connect plausibly, and shadows must align with canopy apertures. No copied landmark, lettering, signage, readable book titles, logos, watermarks, pseudo-text, floating architecture, impossible stairs, fisheye distortion, decorative gradient, collage, border or multiple panels.
