"Pagoda" by Takashina Shuji
- Only made of wood
- Interlocking pieces, which give pagodas flexibility doing earthquakes
- Don't normally survive many centuries because they are very acceptable to fire
- On top they will have a lighting rod to take the lighting and ground it, so the pagoda doesn't burn down. These poles are incorporated in the design.
- Each level/floor was an element: sky, fire, earth, wind, and water.
- The floors are boxes that can stand on their own, which adds to the flexibility of pagodas.
- Each level gets proessivly smaller each floor.

Hola Susan!!! Your topic is very interesting and I can tell you have a passion for this. This career would be right up your ally. Good job, on the specific terms.
ReplyDeleteI like how specific you got about the materials and structure of the pagodas. the interlocking pieces is genius. Do you know how this method of building came to be?
