Towards a New Approach of Understanding and Representing Historic Architecture: Research on the Construction of Digital Information Model of the Buddha Hall in Zhihua Temple’s Major Carpentry Frame Based on The Ju-lai Tien of Chih-hua Ssu, Peiping
Abstract:Drawing on Liu Dunzhen’s paper The Ju-lai Tien of Chih-hua Ssu, Peiping published in 1932, a research was undertaken to develop a digital information model for the major carpentry frame of the Buddha Hall in Zhihua Temple. This research tries to take contemporary research findings such as The Major Carpentry Frame Construction Technology of Chinese Ancient Buildings and The System of Major Carpentry in Official Buildings of Ming Dynasty as complementary sources to confirm each other, and establish a digital model that cover critical multi-source information, allow sustainable data enrichment, and integrate the ancient architectural features with construction practices and the craftmanship. The research aims at exploring a novel approach to interpret the integrated design and construction of ancient Chinese architecture, and to understand and represent China’s architectural heritage.
