- Pagoda's are Buddhist temples.
- A monument for holy relics.
-In Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos they have a pyramidal or conical shape.
-China, Korea, and Japan designed it more towerlike.
-Each level was an element: sky, fire, earth, wind, and water.
- Pagoda's aren't very spacious in the inside.
- Stupa: a dome like shape
- Pagodas are mostly located in the East and Southeast regions of Asia because of the buddhist missionaries.
This made me realize that these types of buildings are for missionaries. I think that you made a good point when you explained the five different levels. (hi susan!)
