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
Development of Pagodas
The Cultural Heritage of China :: The Arts :: Architecture :: Pagodas
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
