TANG DYNASTY ARCHITECTURE

Why Architecture?

Tang Dynasty

The Tang dynasty had one of the greatest buildings and forms of architecture in history. They began to start using bricks and stones to make building rather than what was more common back then, which was wooden eficies.

Unlike many other civilizations of the past, the Tang Dynasty's architecture is remarkably unique due to the fact that their architectural system is one of the few that are solely based around wooden structures. It was more common for older civilizations to use brick and stone to build their structures. One of the most notable surviving wooden structures is the Nanchanan Temple, or Wutai, which was built in 782 CE (Christian era, or BC, as we commonly refer to it as).

The Tang timber work unified art and structural formation. Dugongs (a system of brackets in Chinese building), pillars and girders combined perfectly for strength aesthetics. They looked simple, but grand with concise bright colors.
