Does anyone know of construction details for the traditional chinese style pagoda especially the design of the intricate roof structure.

Hi, JohnM1!

Are you wanting to build one, or just wanting general information, please?

If you're wanting general information about the construction of Chinese Pagodas, quite a bit of information as to construction, history, styles, meaning, etc. can be found on the following sites.

Chinese pagoda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_pagoda)

Development of Pagodas (http://www.china.org.cn/english/features/43497.htm)

The Cultural Heritage of China :: The Arts :: Architecture :: Pagodas (http://www.ibiblio.org/chineseculture/contents/arts/p-arts-c03s02.html)

I hope that you'll find some information on the sites that's helpful to you!

Thanks!

Thanks Clough, I'm trying to design one, make a model and possibly build one. Just having trouble with the dougongs, puzuos, corbel structure and how to develop that beautiful upward curved overhanging roof. There's a couple of models of dougongs on SketchUp 3D warehouse. I need more stuff like that.
Kind regards
JohnM
