Chinese Architectural Design

Chinese Architectural Design By Ghani Khan This book guides readers through key elements of traditional Chinese architecture such as curved roofs with upturned eaves, wooden beam-frame structures, courtyard homes (Siheyuan), and the intricate use of Dougong (interlocking brackets). It also explores the cultural significance of axial symmetry, gateways, and ornamental detail, all of which reflect cosmic balance and social hierarchy.
