From an Architect's Perspective: 3, 5, 7, 9 Column Halls: Status and Hierarchy in a Confucius Society 7 December, 2019 9:30 am - 11:00 am |
|
Throughout history, societies have been based on cultural and political hierarchies. China was no exception and was influenced immensely by the teachings of Confucius. Navigating within a culture requires sensitivity and an understanding of available clues. Ken Diener, a licensed architect, will illustrate this concept through an examination of Chinese classical architectural design and construction. References will be made to the buildings and grounds of Portland’s Lan Su Chinese Garden as he describes how Chinese classical architecture was informed by status for organizing the traditional construction of this City’s unique treasure. |
